    Trailer for L3800

    Mine is a 22' Big Tex Tilt, 14K lbs gross. Can haul your 3800 and any implements you may need. The tilt gives a full 22' of straight deck and is very easy to load and unload. I've used several with the fold down ramps and they always take a beating bouncing down the road. You may get away with a...

    Not happy with dealer

    The issue is that the right fender is rubbing hard on the ROPS, where there is about a 3/4" gap in the same location on the left side. Something is twisted / bent, maybe from manufacturing defect, or maybe from shipping damage. I'll keep everyone posted.

    Not happy with dealer

    Mv7fd, I'm wondering if you got your problem resolved, and how you did it. I bought a new L3560 2 months ago. Since then the dealer has had it almost as much as I have. The dealer seems unable to figure it out. I attempted to contact Kubota over a month ago on their website's e-mail system. I...

    What is this thing? L3800

    As long as it's not clogged, with dirt, rust etc.;). Hence the rod to clear it.

    Removing Bush Hog Blade Bolts

    The nuts on my cutter have a small tack weld that needs to be ground off first. Also, unless you're using a very high quality impact wrench, you can apply more breaking loose power with a breaker bar. Good luck:o

    Rust cancer treatments ???

    In the marine industry, we use muriatic full strength to remove rust and corrosion. After dipping in acid, neutralize it by dipping the parts in a baking soda and water solution. Dry, prime and paint. Acid is about $5 a gallon at the hardware store, and baking soda is fairly cheap at the grocery...

    Thanks for the photos. Brings back memories. I rode on the fender of one for many hours as a kid, helping with hay.:)

    Does Kubota require the purchace of their Insurance

    I use mine at my business. I was skeptical at first, but the Kubota insurance came in at a lower price for better coverage. $250 deductible per occurrence, limit 3 per year. Anywhere, anybody (authorized by me) operating or transporting it. Full original purchase price for the duration of the...

    Alternate Parts sources

    I guess it's ok to save a few bucks by shopping online, but if you do so I would recommend buying from a place that will give you any technical or application advise that you may need. It's not fair to buy online, then ask your local dealer for advise. He spends a lot of money on employee...

    Need help with Intellipanel

    "There is another method of bringing up another set of items. This I have not tried so am just typing in from WSM. You hold down the display mode switch and at the same time turn the key to start. I assume you do this when the tractor is not already running. You should then get a display called...

    Need help with Intellipanel

    Thanks Sheepfarmer. That all makes sense to me. Dealer has the WSM on order for me. I'll give it a try tomorrow. It's not that I really even need a speedo function, it just that if it's there, I like it right.

    Need help with Intellipanel

    Just traded in the L3130 and got a new L3560. Same machine for the most part with some updated technology. The digital display is showing speed in Km/hr as opposed to MPH. Does anyone here know how to change it? Nothing in the operators manual. Thanks, and Happy New Year!

    UDT capacity?

    That makes sense. I've got the manual. Typical Japanese manual that sometimes loses something in the translation. Thanks.

    UDT capacity?

    Thanks Wolfman, When I look at the spec tables, it shows the 11.1 for the transmission case. It also shows 8.3 for the hydraulic pump unit. Is the 8.3 part of the 11.1, or is it in addition to it? I'm easily confused. Thanks

    UDT capacity?

    I'm rebuilding the engine on my L3130. I have drained all hydraulic/transmission fluid from the entire tractor. Anyone know how many gallons of fluid I will need? Thanks, Bob
