I went with Kubota 1st and 2nd OEM rear valves so two sets. I believe because they were translated to English, the instructions were very vague and were missing steps I had to figure out he proper installation through trial and error. I probably installed and removed the valves 6 times before...

Getting ready to do my 50 hour filter change on my L4802 HST. The HST filter is very beefy and has these spanner wrench slots on the base which leads me to believe this sucker is going to be on very tight. The manual does not refer to a special service tool for removal. Any recommendations on...

You are correct. They fit perfectly

I went with OEM Kubota rear valves and installed them myself. It was a learning experience. They look great and are in the OEM lever positions. No regrets.

I am still new at this hydraulics game so I’m trying to learn. I know most QC are NOT compatible. My question is are the AG 1/2” ISO 5675 female QC Compatible with the male 1/2” ISO 7241–1, series A? They look nearly identical and have the exact same dimensions. One website that sells QC...

thank you for suggestion. For the most part the hydraulics move the flail mower into position and the blades are run by the PTO. Still think I can’t go with electric? I’m still learning.

Ditch flail mower on the 3pt. I need two spools. One to swing it out to the right a one to articulate the mower up 90 degrees or down 60 degrees. I’d love know your recommendations if ou think I’m going in the wrong direction.

I am purchasing a universal electric rear remote valve kit (3 spool) from Summit Hydraulics for my 2024 L4802. No one that I can find, has a kit for L4802 yet so I’m going to try to install this universal kit on my own with limited experience dealing with hydraulics. My first thought is the...

I have noticed that the right side stabilizer arm for the BH92 backhoe drops down to the ground overnight after use. Is this normal or is this telling me there is a leak somewhere?

I thought about the sight glass. It was more difficult to access with the backhoe attached and I thought it would make more of a mess - harder to recover the overfill. The filter location was easier and if I wanted the flow to stop I just tightened the filter up. That is until I tried to...

Good info. Thanks.

Brisket. Hour 18.

So I cracked open the hydraulic fluid filter and drained the fluid until I could see a proper line in the sight window. Even with the loss of fluid through a loose fitting, I still drained off about 2 quarts to get to a proper level. That’s how it came from the dealership so I’m certain that’s...

I took delivery of a 2024 L4802 HST a couple days ago. After a few hours of use, one of the backhoe hydraulic fittings came loose and I lost an undetermined amount of fluid. The manual doesn’t detail the best way to check the hydraulic fluid level. Mine has the sight window which I’m really...
