The Kubota kit was easy to install. I am glad I added it to my loader. Images show how the pins were replaced with longer ones. As you can see it is an easy adjustment to show level with different attachments.

A really good guess as to why foam filled tires could cause premature failure to the bearings is they don't give any-a much more rigid ride. There's no give to the tires, thus no cushioning affect as you would get from an air filled tire. Every bump goes straight to the bearings, instead of the...

Agree on the stronger unit. The sales page for box blades says the 2566 is for 25-55 hp tractors. Understand the L3301 is towards the bottom of this range. But it is built strong enough to withstand the pull/torque/abuse of a much higher hp tractor. Extra reinforcing gussets, etc. And then...

Great video. Thanks for sharing.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005S39PWS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I have one of these tools to cut open filters. It is great for looking for any evidence of premature wear if anything is showing up on the filter pleats. Every oil filter coming off of any equipment is...

Absolute number one priority with a new tractor-get the better half to get a few minutes of seat time. Does wonders for future discussions about customizations and equipment needs/wants.

This workshop manual may be helpful? http://www.kubotabooks.com/AutoIndex/index.php?dir=Tractor%20Owners%20Manuals/&file=L3301%2C%20L3901%2C%20L4701%20Workshop%20manual..pdf

L3901 1st regen 33.5hrs, 2nd 72.7 hrs I am pleased with this interval.

L3901 HST I pull up on the knob to engage the front wheel drive. Does not appear to engage. Anything to look for? Or should I get local dealer involved?

L3901 has seen regen at 33 and 72 hours. Well pleased so far. Glad I have the hp when needed vs 2501 or 3301.

It is a royal pain to loosen the factory 3 pt stop without using pliers. So I recently replaced it with one of these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005HIFPW8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Then I moved the OEM stop to an upper position to prevent exactly what you describe...

Thanks for the great write up. If I were a dealer I would print off your comments and hand them to every Tier 4 tractor customer.
