I Still Hate My Tractor II

[Sawyer Rob]

Looks like some one NEEDS to learn how to "feather" the joy stick on his loader....

I call that "operator error"...

Agreed about feathering the FEL controls.

I love Waxxys video. Thus the reason I keep spilling my beer.


I could see about trading the loader for next size up or replace those wimpy 50mm rams with 60 mm version.

Probably stupid, I should just trade up for a bigger machine painted a different color.

Next time I need to move mud up a 22 degree incline I will use the wagon behind my 310Case. I have hydraulics on that one too.

In Fred's defense when I bought my Grand L3240, I have a post somewhere here on TBN saying the Fel is hard to use, fast and powerful compared to my former B3030, someone replied just give it some time you'll get used to it. Not sure right now who that was but I did give it some time and I am used to it. With my bucket cam, electronic level etc. I have spent a lot of time working with the fel. more than anything else on the tractor, I never pull or drag anything its all fel work with maybe 50 hrs. or so with the backhoe.

If someone has other tractors that work differently and you're always bouncing back and forth between tractors. I can clearly see how it would take even longer to get used to it, with another tractor to always compare it to. I only have the one tractor with 250+hrs mostly all fel work.
So it is a legitimate complaint about the fel operation.

My concerned though, is about using beer with the use of super UDT hydraulic oil

That is a valid concern.

Here are my thoughts about fast loaders. When I got my New Kioti in 2012. it has the KL351 loader on it, which is basically the same as the KL401 except it has smaller cylinders on it. The pump is within 1/2 gallon a minute of the ones on the DK40 and up, so it is a rather fast loader. I commented on it when I first got it, and yes it took a little time to get used to it. I was comparing it to my Kubota L3400, and it is quite a bit faster. But I am completely used to it now, and really enjoy running it. Humans are amazingly adaptable.

I just had a couple of Rum and coke, lots of ice
Am I making any sense here

Here's another valid complaint I have.

When using the rear diff lock one must apply decent pressure to keep it engaged. On a bumpy uphill the pressure comes off the operator's seat and the engine dies.

This is a total turn off, get it?:shocked:

You need some lead in your Kiester. Dang lightweight.!

I was 200 lbs but I lost 30 so the stupid seat would stop banging the stops.

Looks like that was a mistake just like the purchase.

Yeah, that was my problem. When compared to my LA1353 FEL, my Brother's LA513 was wayyyyyy too sensitive. I understand you can feather the joystick to overcome it. I just thought that was a bit silly to have to do. Then when compared with the FEL's minimal capacity, I thought like Fred, a size larger cylinder might improve both situations. Doing delicate work with the LA513 is extremely difficult and a bit dangerous.

I've deleted or overrode every seat switch I've ever owned.
