    Which EA grapple to buy?

    I have the single lid and I have used it on brush, logs and rocks and it still amazes me how much work you can do with the grapple. I used it all day yesterday around a huge burn pile and it is a beast. I purchased the 60 inch wicked root grapple and opted for the single lid due to price...

    RPM Question

    Approximately how many RPM's should my L3240 be turning before engaging the PTO for a 6 foot bush hog. My tractor has 26.5 hp at the PTO.

    Grapple Advice

    I have an L3240 which is a few less HP than your tractor. I purchased the 60" EA grapple a couple of months ago. I opted for the 60" due to the grapple weight being only about 150 lbs heavier than my bucket. I am also doing "woods" work such as clearing brush and pushing over trees such as china...

    3rd Function Knob

    I am unable to take a pic of mine at this time but I use my right index finger to open/close the grapple claw. The one I have is similar to a gear shift knob. The side of the knob with the switch on it faces to the front. When in use, my thumb is usually resting on top of the knob while my...

    Howard rotovator

    I believe there are parts available. I broke the shaft on mine when I hit a stump. When I say shaft I mean the shaft that the tines are connected to across the width of the implement. I priced a new one and it was over a thousand dollars. A local machine shop repaired it for me for less than...

    Howard rotovator

    I have a 60 inch Howard rotovator that I use on my L3240 which is essentially the same tractor you have. You have more than enough HP. I have had mine since 1997 and it is still going strong. For best results plow with a disc or all purpose plow before rotovating and make sure the soil is dry...

    Battle of the Budget Grapples (Vote now)

    I recently purchased the Everything Attachments 60", single lid, wicked root grapple. One of my concerns was grapple weight. The 60" model is only about 150 lbs heavier than my bucket. It works as advertised.

    Is no response abnormal

    I know this doesn't apply to Kubota tractors but years ago my wife and our youngest son and I stopped at a new car dealership during our search for a car for my son. I asked the salesman for a price on a certain model and he asked if I was going to buy the car that day. I said not without...

    L3240

    I could not have done it without the grapple. It was a great addition.

    L3240

    In August my wife and I purchased a small tract of land that we hope to build on someday. This has been a dream of ours since our retirement. Over the past few months I have been using my L3240 to clear privet hedge, chinaberry, wild cherry and the like. I have really put the 32 hp tractor to...

    Tractor advice for hunting land

    I'm assuming the L3560 is of the Grand L series. If so one of the very nice features of a Grand L is the 3 point hitch design that makes changing implements much easier. They are also very comfortable tractors. I have recently been clearing brush such as privet hedge, wild cherry and chinaberry...

    Third Function Valve Kit #380-152A

    You can do it yourself. I recently added a third function to my L3240 and it looks like your install will be easier than mine was. My power beyond port was on the hydraulic valve under the tractor and connected to a port under the seat. I had to remove the seat to get it out. The kit came with a...

    Power Beyond Port

    Thank you. I will try that first.

    Power Beyond Port

    I will try that. Did you take it out from above at the seat or out the underside of the tractor?

    Christmas came a week early

    Congrats. I have a 60 inch EA Grapple coming in about 3 weeks. I have lots of brush to clear also. Can't wait.

    Power Beyond Port

    The directions were correct. It took me all day but I finally got the valve installed and it works. The power beyond port on my L3240 is not marked as far as I could see and there was no green paint on it. If it had been stamped with the initials PB I doubt I could have seen it. I called a local...

    Power Beyond Port

    I did read the link you posted. The directions with the WR Long valve say that there is a steel tube that goes from the power beyond port on the loader valve to a port under the seat. The seat has to be removed to access it and the tubing has to be sawed in half in order to remove it. I hope...

    Power Beyond Port

    Can anyone tell me where the power beyond port is on an L3240 with a LA514 loader?

    Tooth bar

    I purchased a Piranha to clear privet hedge and other shrubs/saplings on our property. It does exactly as advertised. It plays havoc with the saw briars. I am also amazed at how my L3240 can push over big trees. The trees you see in the photos are china berry and wild cherry. The china berry...
