Like to change it but I don't want to start over and lose my join date, but anyway I still have my Kubota 2350, I use it for cutting the grass.

Hi all!... I just took delivery of my 3046R cab a few days ago. I sold my 2011 5065M.. it was just too much tractor for my 12 acres, and I didn't have a loader on it. It had just arrived at the dealer for stock inventory. I knew I needed a smaller, more compact tractor with a loader, and this looked like just the ticket. I got the H165 loader, air ride seat, upgraded stereo, rear svc, mid pto, all four work lights, rear wiper, Imatch, and after it arrived at the house, I spent 7 hours in it. Im happy to report that I didn't want to get off of this thing!.. Going from gears to hydrostatic has me giddy. Love the great features like the cruise, motion match, etc. Only complaints may be that the drawbar lever is super tight, but seems to be getting easier with use. I have a hydro top link that I have had for a while and will not go without one from here on out. It just makes switching implements a breeze, and the ability to adjust your box blade angle on the fly is a must. Bad thing is, the rear svc is controlled by an up/down button on the joystick, and there is no feathering ability. It moves too fast to smoothly adjust. My solution is putting metering needle valves on the rear lines to slow down the flow. They should be in mail today, so we'll see how that turns out. Otherwise, this is a great machine!, and Ive got about 16 hours on it so far, and lovin' it! Out the door at $36,900.

Welcome to TBN!!!

Congrats on the new tractor. Post some pics when ya can.

That's very interesting concerning the rear hydraulic remote. Wonder why it's designed that way??? Is the joystick located so that operating the rear remote while turned and looking rearward over your shoulder is convenient??

Downside to restrictor fittings is when you are doing a task that fast speed is wanted.

Thanks!....The location is comfortable. I am putting on adjustable restrictors that I can reach out the back glass and adjust flow as needed with a knob. But I think once I get it set, it should be good.

Nice. Start yourself a thread about your tractor. We'd love to see it and the work you do with it!!!

Will do!!

Congrats on the new machine! You deserve your own thread though

JD switched to all electric SCV's a few years ago, it's kind a love em' or hate em' thing but installing restrictors is the correct fix.
