    LED tail/turn lights L3700SU or L3800

    Greetings! Have any of you replaced their turn/flasher signals on the rear fenders with LED's? IF so, does the flasher work properly? By that, I mean, hyperflash or get stuck? LED's as you know require less amperage. A typical incandescent will draw about 1 amp and and LED about half that...

    Cross referencing LED bulbs

    Have any of you cross referenced the bulbs in your tractors? By that, I mean headlight, tail lights, flashers, the whole shebang. I'm not just talking about 1167' etc.... I mean stealership, numbers and all. Stealership numbers don't reference the bulb bases. Their pictures cleverly hide...

    What I did last Summer in the warm weather

    Redneck paint tray For all those of you dealing with snow, ice and cold temperatures, here's a Summer picture of tractor use. I had to paint a narrow eave on our house and a ladder would have been too dangerous either to climb or to attempt bringing paint up there. So, I fastened a 4X4 on the...

    Marking stuff on a tractor

    I decided to mark things real clearly on our tractor for my wife and even for me so I just don't forget. For instance, for me, it is difficult to tell the difference between a 3/4" bolt and a 19MM bolt. Since all the Kubota fasteners are metric, I just marked each or by the area what it is...

    Hitch receiver on bucket for L3700SU (L3800)

    Many of you have asked and replied about putting a hitch receiver on the bucket. Some have welded, others like me have drilled and bolted. This is mine and I use it all the time to move our travel trailer in and out of our shop. It beats the beans out of trying to back it in. I opted for...

    Turnbuckle help on L3800 (L3700SU)

    The turnbuckle to tilt 3 point attachments on the L3800/L3700SU is a scrappy device to use I found. Often, I tried using the back side of a crescent wrench only to skin my knuckles. Here is my solution: I took a gate hinge and reversed it, cut one end short and covered it with PVC and a nut...

    More storage on L3700SU (L3800)

    On both left and right side column within operator's reach, I placed a Klein work tool bag. Often, I will put a pair of gloves, water bottle or wrench in there for easy access when on the tractor. Burt

    Kodiak field mower

    Here is a question. I know most Kubota owners are using Land Pride or other 3 point mowers. Any of you have experience or evaluation comments regarding a Kodiak field mower? Their price seems reasonable here. I'm looking at the Kodiak ST60SC. Even with chains, their price beats the...

    Box Blade Question

    Here's a question regarding a box blade. I have an L3800 with a nice big box blade with scarifiers. It's a "Big Red." My question is this: I'd like to use the box blade to carve out for lawn irrigation on a smaller lawn 30 feet by 50 feet. One scarifier won't go down far enough I think...

    T-Posts...driving in with a bucket?

    HI! Do any of you have any experience driving in T-posts using the tractor bucket? I watched a guy use a Bobcat and bend some up. Our tractor is an L3700SU (L3800). We need to put up some new fence and thought it might be a good question to ask. I'll be using 8 foot T-posts at 1.33 weight...
