    Question about diesel fuel color/clarity in tank LX 3310HSDC

    Contacted the dealer today. Of course, they had the same thoughts as everyone - stuff in tank, old fuel filter, etc etc, but they agreed I had taken care of pretty much every item so far, and the problem is just too repeatable and specific time-wise when it occurs. They asked me to send them a...

    Question about diesel fuel color/clarity in tank LX 3310HSDC

    Just picked up the filters yesterday actually, so I'll be changing them later this week and I'll update here.

    Question about diesel fuel color/clarity in tank LX 3310HSDC

    When I start, I crank the engine speed up to where the mower is 520+/- RPM, and it does fine as it always has, through thick stuff, tight turns, and uphill - no lugging whatsoever. But then right around 20-25 minutes in, all of the sudden it flips like a switch and changes it's mind - and I...

    Question about diesel fuel color/clarity in tank LX 3310HSDC

    Thanks for the ideas, I did not know these would derate themselves like that, but it makes sense. That's what is feels like. Radiators are all blown out both directions as well as the screens and filter canister are cleaned out. Operating temp seems good, at least from the light bars on the...

    Question about diesel fuel color/clarity in tank LX 3310HSDC

    Good thought, thanks. I will siphon some out and see what it looks like outside the tank. I just wasn't sure what bad, sludgy, fouled diesel looked like.

    Question about diesel fuel color/clarity in tank LX 3310HSDC

    Thanks, I tried that, it did not change what was happening. And I did not hear any negative pressure when I cracked the cap open after it was happening while running.

    Question about diesel fuel color/clarity in tank LX 3310HSDC

    Sorry in advance if this is a dumb/easy question, but I appreciate any insight. I have an LX3310 HSDC that is around 75 hours right now of light use, mostly mowing. 20+/- hours a year. I had my full 50 hour service performed at my Kubota Dealer. I am having a problem now where it runs fine...

    Lx3310 hard starting

    I've got 100+ hours on my LX3310 Cab, purchased in spring of 2021 - no problems starting in any weather yet, no winter fuel additive, and no block heater, stored in an uninsulated barn. I hope this keeps up for me, and you guys get a more permanent fix soon!

    Hydrostatic use opinion question

    Thanks so much to everyone for the responses. Just didn't want to wear something out prematurely, or be missing an important aspect of driving properly with this transmission since I plan on having this tractor for a long time!

    Hydrostatic use opinion question

    Hi everyone. I'm a long time lurker, but new poster. I transitioned from having an L2500DT for the past 20 years, to a new LX3310HSDC this spring.... so I've never had a hydrostatic transmission before. When changing directions, I've always been used to coming to a full stop using the clutch...

    New LX 3310

    I have 8 hours on my 3310 (I know, not much) and I'll tell you that the whine in the cab is much less harsh when the engine running at proper PTO speed. So far I love it and wouldn't change a thing.
