    Warranty Work - Billed How to Kubota ?

    I have an L3800 in the shop now for a jerky 3PH - which has been "beat to death" by many other threads, but my question is this: The mechanic will undoubtedly spend a good amount of time working on this issue - as it seems adjusting the proportioning valve and feedback linkage can be time...

    Jerky 3PH

    I know there has been a TON of threads on this and I posed this question to Service Dept Vic - but apparently he must be on vacation or not near his computer. So here goes.... I have a new L3800 Hydro with FEL. It has about 20 hrs on it. The 3 pt hitch jerks in the upward motion. I've talked...

    Problem with using 4wd all the time?

    I have an L3800 HST with about 25 hrs on it - mainly from FEL work. I just leave it in 4WD and use it all the time in this mode. Does it hurt anything to leave the unit in 4WD - when using it in either Low or Medium range on grass and sand ?

    Avoid "CJ-4" Oil in New L3800 ???

    I just got a new L3800 and was looking thru the Owners Manual. Under the Maintenance section it states that the L3200/L3800 tractors (without EGR) should not use oil that has a API classification of "CJ-4". They say that the CJ-4 oil "is intended for DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) engines and...

    Tire Gauge with RimGuard ?

    Ok - here's a stupid question - What kind of tire gauge do you guys use if you have RimGuard in your tires ? I know you check the pressure when the stem is near the 12 o'clock position - but does the RimGuard solution get into the gauge? Any special type of gauge to use (or not to use) ?

    Flood vs Trapazoid Lights for ROPS

    I want to add an auxiliary (front facing) light to the ROPS on my L3800. What are your thoughts on whether I should buy a "flood" light vs one that has the "trapazoid" beam configuration ? I'm looking at the 55w H3 Halogen ones from Peterson Manufacturing. What do you guys use ?

    Placement of Hooks on Bucket

    I'd like to get some 3/8" hooks welded to the bucket of my tractor for securing chains. I'll probably put two of them on the top of the bucket - with one on each end - but the dealer is saying that a lot of people put a hook "inside the bucket" - near the center up against the back. Has anyone...

    Overhanging Branches & the ROPS

    I have debated putting this thread on the OTT forum - and I'm sure that anyone who has been operating a tractor for a period of time will already know this - but I'm sure there's still some "newbies" out there - that can benefit from this story - it was passed on to me by another Kubota owner...

    I'm going to be getting an L3800HST soon and now thinking about what Back (Rear) Blades to get. Looks like my options are either LandPride or KingKutter. I'm looking for a blade that is 84" long - has an off-set capability and can tilt (though the tilt isn't mandatory). By what I can tell -...

    Headlights on L series (new vs old)

    Been comparing the current L series tractor (including the L3700SU) to the newer ones - specifically the L3800. How do the headlights differ? The brochures say that the new ones have "2 headlights" - but the older ones seem to have 2 also. Does anyone know how these two product lines compare...

    Kubota B8160 - fit an L3800 ?

    I ran across a used Kubota Ballast Box - Model B8160. Can anyone tell me if this fit the 3-pt hitch on an L3800 or similar Kubota ? What kind of capacity (weight) would this equate to if filled with heavy sand or concrete ?

    Grease Zerks or Sealed Parts ?

    I'm new to Kubotas - but I know that most of the newer cars nowadays don't have grease zerks on them - but are instead using "sealed components" without zerks. What do the newer Kubotas have on them? Myself, I would prefer the zerks.
