L Series owners

[FTG-05]

I had forgotten about the suspension seat freezing up. Mine was frozen up, brand new from the dealer.. Lube it up with your favorite penetrating oil, and tilt the seat forward, then get up and use the ROPS for stability and jump up and down on the seat base with one foot for a while until it comes free. Yes you look like an idiot doing the "Wiley Coyote" stomp on that base, but it is the easiest way to do it. You adjust the tension for your weight with a T handles screw on the back of the base. There is not much info in the manual about how to do this.

What? Mine has a little knob that you turn; it's right above the 3ph adjustment knob and in front of and below the seat.

Worthless though, since I weigh +275 lbs with phone, knives, leatherman tool, .44 mag and all the other stuff I carry all the time. I had to add a couple tennis balls and a small football so I wouldn't hit the stops every time I drive my tractor. Mo betta now!

You have a Grand L.. I was referring to the standard L series. They are a much more basic tractor. Now if you would leave that big N frame 44mag back in the safe and get yourself a nice polymer framed 9mm, it would weigh a lot less!:laughing:

According to the dealer, the L series is more popular for woodland properties. Picked up an L3200 in September, currently with 42 hours.

I have SSQA bucket, pallet forks, Wallenstein BX42S chipper, DR Power ballast box and Land Pride 60" brush cutter.

And added a 36W LED work light.

What!!!??? You're saying I paid all that money for Grand L and all I got was a lousy seat "adjustment" knob!!!!!! WTF!!!!

Oh, and you can have my .44 Mag when you pry it from.... the heck with it, you get the point.

I love my L3200HST! I picked it up last April, along with a 5ft shredder, 6ft box blade, 6ft tiller, and FEL, and have nothing but good things to say about it. I have 101 hrs on her now, with nothing but regular maintenance. Oh, and I did get the right side hand hold, and Bolt on Hooks for the bucket. Great Tractor!!!

Purchased a used L3540 HST with 220 hours on it last year. So far, it's a great tractor and I'm glad I added it to my stable. I'm adding a Kubota subframe to convert a 3pt hitch backhoe to subframe mounted. Looking forward to doing some digging with it - should be a beast of a digger.

Get a Piranha tooth bar for it from BX Panded. Makes it dig great!

I have a 2004 L3830 DT with loader that we bought new.

Around 780 hours. Has had regular maint, right front axle bearing replaced and left front steering joint seal replaced. That's it! And it's done a lot of loader work which takes it toll on front axle.

This tractor is a prized possession and the top tool I own (and I have a bunch of stuff). It's never let me down, is extremely well built and is THE poster child for what a quality product should be like. I will NEVER sell it.

I recently equipped it with a Piranha tooth bar. Makes a huge difference in digging ability and controllability.

Also a excellent attachment is my JD iMatch quick hitch on the back. I can hook up my 6' Bushhog in about 30 seconds.

Without a doubt the most useful attachment is my quick attach loader forks... They stay on the tractor all the time.

Seems most people here own a BX series Kubota.
Any L series owners here? I'm a first time tractor owner with a nearly new(13 hours when I bought it)L3200. Any advice or suggestions?

I have l3010 HST with loader, cute little guy.

A piranha bar is on my list of things to get in early February!
