    Fit Rite Hydraulics - amaizing customer service experience

    Not been on the forum in a long time, but wanted to visit again to post this. I bought Top N Tilt cylinders for my Kubota L3800 from Brian at Fit Rite back in 2013. They (along with valves to operate them) have by far been the best money I've spent to date on my tractor. About 6 months or so...

    Fluid film

    WOW, there should be a sticky about this stuff! Ran across mention of Fluid Film on TBN and found Lowes carries it. Picked up 2 cans and used it on everything that doesn't have a grease zerk on my tractor. 3pt lift arms, HF QH levers and linkage, seat rails and suspension, every linkage joint...

    L3800 coolant question

    Doing the 400hr service and going to change the coolant. Manual only says "use ethylene glycol (EG) type for this engine". I've got 2 gal of Walmarts house brand SuperTech 50/50 premix "all makes, all models". Is this fine to use? ...

    Check Chains

    I seen a thread on TBN about these and got me thinking and I decided to make me a set. I know it will help getting the rotory cutter to the same level each time when using it - but also, I have TnT setup and the Prince valve I used has internal leak rate high enough that the cylinders leak off...

    Harbor Freight QH interference with PTO shaft

    I run the HF QH and on occasion have had it contact the PTO shaft of my LandPride finish mower. It only happens when I am backing up a bank. The deck starts up the bank and as it rises the PTO shaft comes in contact with the bottom of the QH. Makes a vibration something awful for sure. I thought...

    Hydraulic smell - relocate vent?

    So I've read that the hydraulic fluid smell I get when using the FEL is most likely just the vent and I agree as I don't have any leaks that I've seen. I didn't smell it that much until doing the 50hr service and filling to Super UHD2. But, where is this vent on the L3800? If possible I'd like...

    Attachment for mowing a pond waterline....

    Guys, I have an idea about a contraption to mow the water edge of my pond bank with. Something on the 3pt like a carryall or pallet forks, but with a frame of square tubing that extends out to the sides of the tractor XX Feet. Attach a push mower deck on one side and counter weight on the other...

    What's a fair price for this rear blade?

    Bush Hog 7' blade. Looks to be an older version of the 70 Series blade - like this http://www.equipmentbarn.net/dirt-dog-7007-70-7ft.-70-series-tractor-grader-blade.html I'm going to look at it tomorrow. ...

    R4 to R1 swap - is this a fair deal?

    Called my dealer today and asked for a quote to order R1 tires and wheels, with rear tires filled for my tractor. I have 50hr on my tractor and the R4's look barely used, been on grass and dirt mostly and pavement once. Dealer called back and quoted me the following.... $500 and my R4...

    Got stuck

    not the first time - but first time on a big hill.... Took my tractor back in the woods to bush hog some trails. One trail has a stream crossing that is more like quick sand - burried my Jeep Cherokee in it once - that's how I found out. Anyway, one side of the stream the trail goes up a...

    Rear Remotes - Planning stages, need advice

    I've had this discussion running over on TBN but thought I could post it here too and get some more input. I have a Kubota L3800 with FEL. I am wanting to add a Top-n-Tilt setup but want to take my time and plan this out and try and get it "right" (not have regrets) the first time. There...

    Put a couple Lev-O-Gage's on the tractor

    I got these in yesterday. Made a bracket out of some 1/8" sheet and bent it in a "V" for the one on the dash. The other one I just stuck on the RH ROPS. I used 3M Dual-Lock to mount them. I'd wondered how steep some parts I mow are. A spot in my front yard is 15* but feels completely different...

    Filled my front tires today - L3800 R4s

    Needed a little weight when using the RC without the FEL on hills. I am going to build a bumper / tie-rod protector but didn't want it to be too heavy. I used window washer fluid and each tire held right at 6.5gal. That's about 108# of front weight that is on the ground. I used a garden pump...

    L3200/3800 RH fender grip

    I ordered a RH fender grip for my tractor. Put it on today and used the snot out of it all day long. Why in the world didn't Kubota put a grip on the RH fender???? The holes are there already :confused: Part # is T1060-29450 and it's a perfect match to the LH grip, in case anyone else has the...

    Box Blade for L3800

    I am thinking I need to get a box blade to use behind my L3800. It is 4x4, HST and has FEL. I will be using the BB for hard packed gravel driveway maintenance (100yd long), dirt access road that runs back into the woods on my property (1 mile long maybe), cutting drainage ditches, and other...

    Installed some LED lights

    I went with Flood beam for the rear work lights and the rock lights and Spot beam for the front lights. All are 27W versions. Now that I have both versions side by side, if I had it to do over I think I'd get the Spot beam for the rear work lights too. It isn't as much of a true Spot as I...

    L3800 Air Filter Question

    So my L3800 came with 1 air filter. I see that a 2 filter setup is an option. If I want to run 2 filters, is it as simple as just buying the optional Inner filter and putting it in? Looks that way, but want to confirm before ordering one. ...

    Line-X on the floorboards

    Got the floorboards lined yesterday. Only planned on doing the 2 floor boards and center hump, but the rear panel had to come out for the LH floorboard to come out. The rear panel was a bit of a PITA to get out so I went ahead and had it done too. They only did the top surfaces, not complete...

    Kubota horn button

    Kubota horn (and other) buttons I am going to add a Stebel horn to my L3800 and want to find a button to mount on the dash panel by the Hazard button that looks factory. Is there any other Kubota product, tractor or UTV that has a horn button? I know there has to be but have no idea which it...
