I have not figured the pattern as to why some do and some don't have a timer but I am quite sure yours will not. You should here it snap on with the key and off with the key.

With the # of hrs you are using it I would run it the season and then change before winter.

I don't think the 7800 has a shutdown timer on the solenoid. It is energized with the key on and de-energized with the key off. No timer:)

Return line is leaking. Cheap easy fix:D

There is no mid-pto on the 3300. States it quite clearly in all the propaganda. It is not an option so if you want mid-pto you will need the 3200.

Sounds like you have water in the system. Should be changed. Water is not the best fluid for a hydraulic system.:eek:

Likely the fuel solenoid has failed or a problem with the electrical connection. Without starting the engine you should turn on the key and then turn it off and you should hear a click after a few seconds.

This is a real odd one. Let us all know what you find out.:confused:

Sounds quite odd. to be pushing that amount out. Double check the baffle is correctly installed in the breather.:confused: Just another thought...try running the engine with the valve cover off just to see what is going on. Also I had this suggested to me for this same problem, put some steal...

Sounds like the front crank seal blew. Rare but not unheard of on a new engine.

Do you have a lot of vapor coming out the breather? I don't see how you can have too much oil going to the top end. Something else is going on here.

I think you may only have a seal gone on the hydraulic pump. There is no connection between the engine and tranny except for a drive shaft. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

Really nice find, heck of a deal too.;)

Never heard of a new engine being destroyed by good oil. The only manufacturer I know of that uses break in oil is John Deere on there larger diesels. Mercedes uses synthetic right from the get go in their diesels as do most European engine makers,:eek: At best all you will do is extend the time...

Run the factory oil till the first change then change to synthetic if you like. There is a lot made about breakin and most of it is old wives tales. Run your tractor with some common sense and it will be fine.:D

Go to your Kubota dealer and buy Kubota filters, may not be the cheapest but likely better than most.;)

All this synthetic/dino talk got me to thinking back to when I got a VW diesel. VW recommended 15-40 which I tried until winter when I switched to 0-30 semi-synthetic. The difference in engine performance and mileage was like night and day. Engine revved easier had more power and went allot...

It is a little hard to diagnose because everyone has a different perception of things but these older engines are a bit 'lazy' except at the higher rpm's. But yours maybe has a problem. I would still change all the filters. Especially the fuel and air filters.

You say the engine pulls down...does it smoke when doing this? If it does not then change your fuel filter. I would change all the filters starting with the fuel, air, hydraulic etc. Need more details:confused:

Did you check the level before you added the oil? Sounds like you maybe overfilled it.
