    Need something on fel for more agressive help in picking up clay.

    Few years back had to get a new septic system for the house. Good old Louisiana clay about 6-7 yards which now looks like a jungle scene from Jurassic Park. Some small trash trees grew in it and I can cut these down and burn them. But still have to deal with the clay. At present the FEL is a...

    L3800 oil change

    Hi all, recently did the oil change on the engine of my L3800. Manual for the L3800 says to use 7.5 quarts including the oil filter which was changed out at the same time. Now for the confusing part. The manual shows a dipstick that has a square section at the end with two lines with cross...

    L3800 with a woods bush hog

    I'd like to change out the 80-90 weight gear oil on the gearbox on my woods bush hog. Now after carefully reading the manual there are only two plugs on the gearbox. On top you have the vent plug and on one side you have the oil check plug. You remove the lower one to make sure the oil level is...

    L3800 hst leak into engine

    Went to check the liquid levels in my new (december 2013) L3800. Motor oil way above what it should be and almoost clear in color. Looked at the hst window on the side and cannot tell if it's high or low. Used a flashlight and still cannot tell the level. From some of the posts here I'm thinking...

    l3800

    Ok I have a L3800 with Fel. It also comes with a woods bushhog. Now if I disconnect the bushhog isn't there a bar that goes through the holes in the lift arms and secured with 4 pins?. My reasoning about the bar is that it is required there to keep the lift arms from rubbing against the tires...

    Hot water heaters

    My 12 year and 11 day old hot water heater decided to take a dump last night. Managed to get a new one at lowes and it's now in place of the old one. At one point in time I gave serious consideration to using my L3800 and about 200' of 3/4" nylon rope to get it out the back door. Last experience...

    Can't afford the $$$ for a grabber and it's installation for my L3800. Was considering getting a set of forks from Northern tool at around $370 or so. Anyone use forks to pick up tree branches and stuff around their property?. That is basically what I want them for. One pile is too close to some...

    Who sells decent tow behind carts for tractors

    Well we skated out this year for hurricanes. My old cart I actually bought with our first craftsman 16hp tractor. Three tractors later paint is shot and deck is starting to rust. Since I have a bigger tractor what is out there that will carry more than 22cu.ft?. That is about the largest...

    My new baby got dirty today

    Well took the L3800 I just bought and cut about 3.5 acres of grass. Dirty job but someone had to do it. Everything worked fine. Only problem I had was with the longer wheelbase. Every so often would loose traction on one of the rear wheels. My land that I cut isn't exactly level. 4 wheel drive...

    How do you you fuel up your tractor?

    Didn't know where to stick this so if the mods wish to move it fine. As you probably know by now I just bought a new kubota L3800 and have a few cans around filled with diesel from the old JD 2305. That particular machine sits lower to the ground so it was no real problem to just pour the diesel...

    Woods bush hog

    I've read all the manuals for both the tractor (L3800) and for the bush hog but still have a problem. So here goes. At present the front end closest to the pto is almost touching the ground. Does one use the lift link positioning lever to get that end up when cutting grass?. Just got it and...

    OK, don't flame the new guy. Just got my L3800 HSt with fel and woods bush hog. I'm selling my '06 2305 and if I remember right its a sub compact tractor. I did buy a frontier 4-5' rake to cleanup the front yard after storms. The manual says its a limited class one with class one pins. I checked...
