i wanted to say thanks for all the help everyone has given me with my little L235DT . I started hay farming and after using some much bigger tractors - I have decided to go bigger. I made a deal with a guy and brought home a JD 5400 with a loader. Its 68hp has remotes and a loader with a...

Well im going to try my hand at a small hay field this year - 12 acres or so. I have an old l235 with loader and filled rear tires/foam filled fronts. Its a heavy little tractor. I have a jd 24T baler - 488 NH haybine and a 3pt rake. I am still looking for a tedder. I might have to...

Does anyone on here run hay equipment with their boutas ? If so what do you have and how does it perform ?

My 235 has a spin on filter. I figured out on mine that the loader valve was plumbed wrong - it is much better now that I have fixed it. I have to keep reminding myself that this little tractor is not a 100 hp farm tractor !! I think it wants to be on some days

Send me your email and I will send you what I have

I installed the power beyond plug today. Plumbed the loader valve PB back to the flange on the 3pt. Then ran a new return line from the loader to the sump. Results so far - loader seems more responsive than before. I put the bushhog on and mowed a field. I did not get the hydraulic fade like...

I think my issue has been narrowed down to the plumbing of the loader valve. Mine has a aux flange to the left of the seat that provides ports to run the loader with. In the manual it says to run a power beyond loader valve when using those ports. Currently I am not. I ordered the power...

I have had this ongoing issue with my hydraulics. They have always been weak in my opinion. I have a vintage L235DT it is equipped with the optional flange hydraulic block for additional outlets i.e loader. This is located under the seat on the left side of tractor. The tractor came with a...

It is a L235dt -power steering- with a 1200 loader on it. I am running udt fluid in it. Should I run something else ? It was one of the last ones made according to the serial number. 1985 or late 1984 Should I just run 30 weight oil in it ? The trans/ rear/ loader all run off the...

Hello everyone, I have had a problem with my L235dt for some time now but it seems to be getting worse. When cold the tractor has great lifting ability with the 3pt and the loader. After using the tractor for awhile I cant pick up a bucket of dirt and the 3pt is also weak. Is this a sign...

You put it on the trailer and take it to the shop ! hahaha Howdy neighbor!

Yeah I will drop mine off as soon as planting is done ! haha I am just tickled to death that I can pick up a tank of water that is heavier than the 3pt is rated for! Rated @ 1374 and I picked up 200 gallons of h20 @ 8.3 lbs per gallon (1660 lbs) I just have to raise the bucket at the...

So your saying to tighten the relief valve on the loader controller ? Ok I will give that a whirl and see what happens

I didn't realize that the relief valve on the three point would have any thing to do with its ability to pick things up. I thought all it did was control how fast the three point lowered.

Can you tell me what valve your talking about ? Is it the one under the seat that controls how fast the 3 pt lowers ?
