    3pt. choppy

    I did everything I could to have Kobuta fix this problem. End result is NO. They won't do anything. They say they can't fix something that isn't broken. The L series are jerky by design. They are economy tractors. I guess to Kobuta, the L stands for economy. If I want smooth operation, they said...

    The new L3800 HST

    My New L3200 3pt. is real jerky. Wonder if the L3800's have fixed this problem?

    The new L3800 HST

    How's the 3pt. lift in slow mode? Did Kubota fix this problem (jerky) on the L3800's yet?

    The new L3800 HST

    Before you actually take possession of the tractor this morning, test the 3pt. lift. Try to slowly raise the arms. If it's herky-jerky like mine you might want to double think your decision.

    3pt. choppy

    When I first bought my tractor, I asked about warranty issues. He told me it would be my responsibility to transport my tractor to him (the dealer). He's about 30 miles from me. Is this generally the way it happens?

    3pt. choppy

    My tractor just has 5 hrs. on it. Is this something that I should see if the dealer would or should fix?

    front snowplow

    I just bought a L3200. My primary uses will be logging and skidding for firewood, york raking a 800' shale driveway, and snowplowing the same. When I bought this tractor, I figured I'd modify a truck plowblade and use it with the SSQA. Before I start this project, I'd like to know if you guys...

    Are you going to add hydraulics to the snowplow?

    Trying to decide on wheel spacers width

    I think if I take the wheels off the rims, spin them, I'll gain some width, but that means I'll have to dismount the tire from the rim and spin them so the direction is correct. Big job with loaded tires.
