    SURVEY: Chattering 3 Point (going up)

    Survey of Orange Operators... Background: My L3800 has a known issue of chattering while lifting a load on the 3pt. Kubota knows about it. My dealer knows about it. Kubota is saying its normal. My dealer thinks its dorked up and took a video for Kubota which is almost comical. When lifting, the...

    L3800 Known Starting Issue?

    So, I am in my dealer today buying some fuel filters... The Service Manager overhears me ask the parts dude about a replacement seat switch and motions me into his office. He tells me they have learned of a defect in the wiring harness of the L3800. He is not too detailed (on purpose) but he...

    EZ Float 3-Point

    Gang, Had my bro out from California and let him drive my Kubota. First tractor driving experience for him. (He did great!) Before he came out, I described the engineering problem associated with anything hard-mounted on the three point. Front tire rolls over a dime, the attachment goes down...

    Hour Meter...

    Dinna wanna hijack another thread where the subject came up but... The hour meter on my L3800 runs the same speed at idle or PTO speed. One member mentioned the meter runs slower at idle. Anyone notice a difference on their Kubota?

    Dutch Tractor Porn!!!

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkpKLdixfcs Loads of 60's and 70's American iron. (Back when we made a lot and sold it to the world...) Clearly, the love for these "beasts of burden" crosses all borders.

    Where'd it Go?

    I looked for the thread on "Could This Accident Have Been Avoided" and cannot find it. Did whomever posted it delete it and leave?

    Seat/Throttle/HST Interface

    One more "newbie" issue I had cleared up while at the dealer... (File this one away in case it pops up.) My L3800 used to totally drive me crazy. I'd pull up and stop and the engine would quit. I could have idle or high revs or anything in between. Yet other times, with the same power setting...

    Kubota Alternator/Volt Regulator

    I have an alternator putting out 18v and I think the voltage regulator is toast. (My battery shows 14v unloaded) Normally, new alternators have the regulator built into the back of the alternator. The L3800 alternator is $280-$320, the higher being dealer pricing. The voltage regulator doesn't...

    "It's Got A Dent In The Hood..."

    Grab a cup of coffee. This will take awhile… Last year, I bought a 24 year-old 5-acre horse ranch. The place needed kaboodles of remodeling. For starters, we had to rip out 20,000 lbs of Saltillo tile from the house floor and get that tile up, into the dumpster. We had to have a tractor just...
