    Maintenance on Kubota B3300SU

    Got mine in 2014 as well- believe it was the last model year. It’s been a tremendous asset and an overall positive experience. I purchased the workshop manuals (from Messicks). LOTS of info that far exceeds my abilities and that of regular maintenance- but well worth it and recommended

    L2501 hst and split brakes

    Here’s what I do- I position the heel of my boot on the forward pedal, and the toe end over the appropriate split brake pedal. Took some getting used to. But once the muscle memory kicked in, I found it a great assist when plowing snow. Prior to that I was reach down with my hand and pushing...

    My First Tractor!

    Video and music were well done and the drone must be a blast. Speaking of which- don’t know your experience with burning- however keep in mind if using gasoline, you don’t want to be near the accelerant when you apply the fire (or add gas to an already burning fire). I’m sure this is common...

    My First Tractor!

    Nice video. Especially liked the drone shots. What do you do with the piles of debris. I’m able to burn it- I assume in CA that’s not an option because of wild fires Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Instrument panel backlighting B2920

    I have a b3300su (2014) and it's the same way. I recall reading similar complaints by others about that as well. I ass-u-me it is just one of those issues of engineering design not meeting real world practicality Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

    B3200 No Start Just One Click

    Trans fluid drain bolt problem

    I hear you brother. Same EXACT thing happened to me on my first change. No way I over torqued or cross threaded the bolt. I enjoy my KUBOTA, but have not been too impressed with their overall quality control on things like this. ..grease fittings installed crooked, brake pedal springs snap and...

    Plastic cap dropped in front axle!

    Things like this always seem to happen to me as well- before going to the trouble of taking things apart- I would try to McGyver something up which would allow me to get it out. Maybe a thin hose/tube rigged to a wet dry vac

    A simple oil change?!

    After some internet searching I was led back to- where else- orangetractortalks. Came across this reply to a post from WayneJessie back in 2011. Any thoughts? It seems to make sense. Originally Posted by tk1469 View Post I just got a new L3800 and was looking thru the Owners Manual. Under...

    A simple oil change?!

    I'm nearing 50 hours on my B3300su and was looking over the manual and getting together all the stuff I need. What has me confused is the oil change- yes, the oil change! Specifically, the API classification requirements Kubota states in their manual. The manual is very clear in that CF...

    Piranha Tooth Bar Question

    Purchased the PTB about 3 weeks ago for my B3300su. Wow, what a difference it made! Before it was installed I had difficulty breaking into dry sod/ground- now it slides right in. So precise- feel like I can peel the skin off an apple with it. Installation was easy. Hardest part was finding...

    use of clutch

    Thanks. I suspected that to be the case. However, with the owner's manual cautioning (I believe a few times) not to ride the clutch- made me wonder. So I guess this transmission (PTO aside) is sort of in between a [car] manual transmission- where you have to engage the clutch when you stop-...

    use of clutch

    Hello, I have a new B3300SU which I've been enjoying and have a question regarding the use of the clutch. With a front loader and backhoe attached, the only time I find it necessary to use is when shifting between the H M L ranges. With this in mind- is there a benefit (or need) to shift into...

    Excited & Upset about new B3300SU

    I think I'm finished bitching... Had a few minutes this afternoon and took a look at the seat. The locking mechanism has an adjustment nut at the end of the threaded rod where it attaches to the pull handle. Appears that the nut wasn't sufficiently tightened which resulted in the rod...

    Excited & Upset about new B3300SU

    Got the tractor back on 7/2. The leaks were related to the installation of the loader and backhoe attachments- a small pan at the rear near the backhoe was not sealed properly- was also mentioned that "longer screws" should have been used- apparently to accommodate the attachments for the...

    Excited & Upset about new B3300SU

    Thanks guys. Think I just needed some "man" comforting- Left a message with my salesman this morning to let him know. Didn't expect to reach him- apparently in the tractor business sales is only Mon-Fri?! Called the dealer- are picking it up Monday morning and appear to be responsive-...

    Excited & Upset about new B3300SU

    Need to do a little venting here- Was excited to receive my new B3300SU w/loader and backhoe earlier this week. It took two months from the time it was ordered- the backhoe was back ordered (not kidding)- so I was REALLY excited. Has been sitting in the garage for the last three days (except...
