Ihave a3540thatrecently has been difficult to start...Ibelieve itisthe HST switch.I have to "wiggle" thefoot peddle back and forth to start the tractor, and the tractor slowly crawls forward or reverse depending on which directionwas last headed...DANGEROUS. The tractorshuts off i get off or...

I have the ZG127E ZTR, and was just wondering if anyone here might know where I could buy a mower cover that would cover the mower with the ROPS. I see plenty of covers for sale, but they don't appear to be covering ROPS as well. Any and all replies appreciated.

I am a first time Kubota owner, and purchased a L3540. I got the pull blower from Erskine, as I did not like the idea of backing up to blow snow, nor losing the function of the FEL. I too had concerns as my drive is gravel as well. The former owner used the FEL in conjunction with a back...

It ended up being an implement problem. I went out to attempt to disengage the shaft, and noted two small triangular parts that originally were lined up with each other were not so now. Sheared a bolt is all. Got it replaced and all is well. Hadn't hit anything though...maybe the cold? I'll...

First time tractor owner here...less than 50 hrs on a L3540 HST. Today I decided to blow some light snow off the drive. Less than 50 yards into the game the PTO quit turning my Erskine pull behind snow blower. Didn't hit anything; snow was light and less than two inches. When I now engage...

I have no problem buying the Kubota filters, and agree that they are of the quality I want for my new tractor. However, gas being what it is, and sales tax, why not have the things simply appear at my door? Looking at the filters at a couple of places online, I note there isn't much variance...

Now that's exactly what I mean. Why in God's green earth couldn't Kubota have had that simple line drawing along with the parts schedule right in the service manual? I find it ridiculous that I had to hunt the things down. Ah well, suppose it was a one time event, but should have been...

Thank you all for the suggestions. I have a 2012 HST 3540, and will attempt to look up the filters. If any of you know them, don't hesitate. Should I change my hydraulic oil at 50 hours? I've heard and read just change the filters and top it off.

Newbie here, and first tractor, a L3540. I'm approaching my 50 hour service, and note in the service manual the amount and type of oil for the service is given, as well as basic procedure. However, the manual doesn't supply the part number for engine and transmission oil filters, and upon...

Picked up that terminology here. I think I got a fair price, but just wondering if I'm getting a bucket that sat back in the field for a few years...

I bought a new L3540 and have not taken possession yet. I stopped the other day to see it and the bucket is quite faded compared to the rest of the tractor. They have already welded a hook to the bucket per my instructions. The stealer noticed that I took notice of the faded paint and said he...

I just bought a 3540 and was talked out of the front snowblower. The front FEL has so many uses, a shame to see it down for half the year because of that snowblower up front. I didn't like the idea of backing into the snow either so went with an Erskine tow behind snowblower. I have not taken...

Yes, that was it exactly. I was looking at a used tractor with no mid PTO and wondered about the addition for a snowblower. I have since been looking at an Erskine snowblower that one tows...don't want to back up.

No tractor yet, but have been looking at an L3240 used that the owner claims does not have a mid PTO. At the stealership, they charged extra for a mid PTO. Can this option be added to the used tractor, or is it rear PTO here on out? Thanks for all replies. Mid would be used to mount a front...

I'm currently looking at a used model of this tractor...don't even own it yet. That being said, I am interested in a front mounted snowblower for whatever Kubota I should buy. Is there anything available for this B7800 with a mid PTO? Thank you in advance to all replies.
