Kubota Steering Knob

But does the knob return to the same spot? With Hydraulic steering I doubt it does.

It does not. That would be preferable, but it doesn't really lessen my overall enjoyment of the steering wheel knob :thumbsup:

Wow, this is a lot of talk about a simple steering wheel knob :laughing: I guess sometimes we gotta hammer these things out.

According to legend, the suicide knob got it name in the 50's, apparently people inadvertently got their sleave caught on it at highway speeds. Hence the suicide knob form what I understand.

I wonder how they managed to do that when all people in the 50s wore nothing but plain white t-shirts with cigarettes rolled up in the short sleeves.

I have THREE knobs on my steering wheel.... solves the problem of the spinner constantly moving around.... as soon as one moves away from you, here comes the next one!!

A truly inexpensive and useful addition...everybody should try it!

I got one as a gift almost 7 years ago - not Kubota but one from Tractor Supply I think. I couldn't imagine using my tractor without it now.

Well I just bought the Kubota one off ebay for under $19 with free shipping. It works out to about the same price as TSC and Lowes once you add in tax.

:thumbsup: Let us know what you think once you've tried it out.

I put one on years ago (TSC-generic). Now I have an urge to find some fender skirts too. Anyone seen any to fit a L4330?

I guess I am the odd man out. I used them on my cars and trucks prior to power steering, but now don't have them on anything. I use my fingers on the spokes to spin the wheel.

I too favor the finger on the spoke method :thumbsup:
