    L3800 engine shutting down

    I have about 90 hours on my 2012 L3800 HST. Occasionally the engine will start to lose RPM and then shuts down. It will restart but usually dies out again within seconds. It takes several starting attempts to get it to keep running, and often runs a little rough for a while afterwards. I've...

    First post, tricky decision.

    Hello to all! I've owned a Kubota L2800DT (29hp, gear, 4wd) since 2005. It has the 463 front end loader and a sub-frame mounted BH80-X backhoe. I also have several 3-pt. implements for mowing, grading, raking, etc. All of this equipment represents a fairly substantial investment. I bought this...
