Good morning, I am a huge Kubota fan, and I'm not here to badmouth the brand, but wanted to share my experience. I currently own an L2501, a bx2660, a Rtvx1140, a M5-091, etc., and more land pride attachments than you could shake a stick at. This equipment was bought in order to support my...

I purchased a used zd326, 2013 model with 100 hours, last week... from a reputable kubota dealer and salesman that I have used often. Used the mower for the first time, about 30 or 45 minutes mowing moderately thick grass, and noticed that the steering controls began to feel "grabby" instead...

Dudley, Congrats on the new tractor. I have the BH77 and have been very pleased with it. I'm a little north of you in Benton-good to see another "L" owner in the neighborhood. :) LongGone

Have you checked that the unloader valve and linkage are adjusted properly and not dumping the pressure from the HST? LongGone

Hi, I have a Kubota RTV x900 GP for sale. This is the general purpose model- manual dump bed, atv tires, no extras. This is the current model, with adjustable independent suspension. Rides super nice. Purchased in April of 2015, still under warranty, changed all fluids and filters at...

Good morning, I have to say, the old "if it's too good to be true" thing is keeping me up tonight and this morning. I am a proud owner of a L3800dt with a bh77 and a few other implements. I didn't buy the bh77 initially with the L3800- some of what I read here said "just rent one...

Gentlemen, I recently added a BH77 to my L3800DT. I love the backhoe... I've been kicking myself for waiting this long to make the purchase, but that's a whole other thread I guess. The issue: I'm a big man, and the cute little seat that comes standard on the BH77 is not real comfortable...

Deesil, I understand your concerns about the dpf/aftertreatment. A couple of strategies that can help reduce issues are to avoid idling, and plan your tasks so that your work is grouped in a way that will work the machine longer, and harder. It's not uncommon to see issues on a non-emission...

Scott, I have 7.2-16 fronts and 11.2-24 rears. Looks like your front ag tires would be the same from the factory but your rears are 12.4-24. If I'm reading the table right it looks like your ag rears from the factory would have about 200mm greater circumfrence than the ones I have so I...

Hello, I purchased a new RTVx900, and am reasonably happy with it's performance. Only issue that I'm experiencing is that, in deep mud...and uphill, the engine actually bogs down and starts to stall, only cure is to back off the throttle and reapply and it helps, a little. I had a sticky...

Hi, I have a set of R1s on my L3800 with about 15 hours on them. They are a little too aggressive, fronts are a little too narrow, and they rutt my feed lot up quite a bit... traction has been outstanding though. Would love to trade straight across for your R4s. I'm in Little Rock, but...

Hello all, I've enjoyed reading this post, and really value all the expertise here. Everything I've read usually prescribes 10% wheel slip (overall) for 4wd tractors, and 13% to 15% for 2wd. In order to achieve this, I understand that we should target 120lbs/hp to 145lbs/hp for our mfwd...

Hello, This is an awesome forum and I lurked and studied here for a couple of months before I bought my L3800DT last week. I live on a farm, and will work a moderately sized garden, and after reading much info here I chose the R-1s. Holy cow! They are grippy- you guys weren't kidding. I...

Hello, Bought new L3800DT 4x4, after much reading here felt like the ag (R-1) tires were the way to go. Woof! They are grippy! But much too aggressive for my feed lot and soft dirt road areas. They have about 6 hours total time on them. Hope to find an L3200-L3800 owner that needs more...
