New Owner of used Kubota L4200GST

bilrus61 · Jul 18, 2011

I never removed my loader so can't help you there but I would call Kubota and say you need a manual for a L4200 and see what they say. Tell 'em your about to try something very risky unless they send you the manual!:laughing:

I read about taking it off but can't remember anything much to tell you. A local Kubota dealer should be able to talk you through it. Kubota might have the manual online somewheres that you could download. Check 'em out with a phone call. It seems like I remember that you had to disconnect the hoses last when taking it off and and connected them first when putting it on. You used the loader stick to work the loader to where it would fit on the loader mount then eased the tractor onto the loader. Think more along the line of connecting the tractor to the loader was the way I remember it. Sorry couldn't be more help.

I'll get to my other computer and scan you the info from the loader manual...
Removing the loader is quick & easy... going back on is only a little more difficult, because the hydraulic Quick Disconnects can be troublesome to reset.. KennyV

Hello All,

I've just purchased a Kubota L4200 GST with about 1,300 hours. Replaced my small, 2-cylinder Yanmar YM1500. I liked that little guy but he wasn't powerful or versatile enough. The Kubota came with tiller, snow auger, back blade--but without a manual. Not even sure about the year. Been running it around cutting with my King Kutter brush hog and an older finish mower and it works great--except I cannot seem to get it out of 4 wheel drive or what is also referred to as front wheel engaged. I put it into 4 wheel to go up a hill.

Before I use it too much, I'd love some advice about preventative maintenance. Oil was changed about 60 hours ago.
Thanks,
greg

There is an online outfit called Tractorsmart.com that will e-mail you Kubota documents on request. They may or may not have things like Owner manual, Shop manual and Parts list for the L4200, but it's worth checking. May even have stuff for the LA680 as well. Best of luck with your new machine.
