Thanks - actually, this prompted me to do 2 things: 1. Change my password for easier login 2. Become a paid member - $60 for 60 years - what a deal - I've probably saved thousands and avoided bodily injury from what I've learned. Carpe diem ...

Just the thread I was looking for, so I'll jump in with a question until the OP returns. Recently, I discovered that I was missing some 8mm coarse bolts that attach the floor pan to the tractor. Went to the hardware store - they had them, but the original bolts took a 12mm socket, while the...

Ir's a matter of inconvenience - especially since login wasn't needed to see photos until OTT changed this somewhat recently. I'm trying to understand the reasoning and need for that change. I can see photos as a guest on other forums. For somebody who finds OTT via googling the pressing...

Not sure when this changed, but the site won't let you open a photo attachment unless you're logged in. Usually, I check the forums on an ipad over morning coffee without logging in. If I want to log in, I've got to go upstairs, fire up the desktop and look up my login credentials. Before...

Had just finished mowing and was heading back to the barn. Took my foot off the speed pedal to slow down as I approached the gate, but the tractor keep going forward - pedal didn't return to neutral and was floppy loose. Linkage seemed to be working as I could go forward and reverse by...

Thanks BP - just ordered it.

In a bonehead move, while mowing, I decided to push a limb out of my way with the bucket. It landed on the dash housing and somehow the knob/button piece popped off of the dash. The switch (behind the panel) is still working - the turn signal ring/knob didn't pop off, when I turn the white...

After panel replacement and dealer clearing problem, I went 25 hours until my first working regen, which ran for 0.7 hours. Another 18 hours and it did another working regen that went for 1.3 hours and then I got beeping and error code P1844. Turned it off for 10 minutes, started it again and...

EA 55" Grapple, 54" bucket, LP 48" forks, homemade hyd. PHD & Wolverine tree spade. I'm not sure how I sprung them in the first place, but my gues is an uneven load or overload. I'm a lot more careful to be sure that the load is pretty even side-to-side.

Recently had my annual service at my dealer. Last time, I had them work on my SSQA adapter, since the fingers that catch the top of the SSQA attachments were twisted. They cut the round connecting rod (between the fingers, straighteneed the fingers and re-welded it. That held for a while, but...

Hi - Just got my machine back from annual servicing at my dealer. As working regen was occasionally hanging (1+ hr) and then would begin the next time I started, they recommended replacing the panel (Kubota picked up the parts cost). Given that the hybrid electrical-mechanical system is the...

Hi Chris - RTFM is not the warmest of welcomes to a newbie, but it's really important - the potential for injury or fatality grows exponentially when you move from a small lawn tractor to a machine like yours. It's worth studying the manual as soon as you can. That being said, congrats on your...

I've got an EA 55" Claw Grapple which I use with a B3350. As I don't have experience with a long bottom tine models (root, rock, skeleton), I can share that I'm pleased with with the claw design. As other posters have said, you just have to develop your grapple skills - including curling and...

Am considering a tractor update. Wondering if I can use my RC72-30B MMM on a new LX4020? The MMM listed on the LX4020 build-my website is a RC72-40LX.

I'm coming in late to this thread, but can empathize with your frustration - with the attachments you have listed, shop time is a poor substitute for quality bota time and knocking things off your project list. I've got a B3350 - the precursor to your model. The B3350 is notorious for DPF...
