I’ve never posted on a HST v gear or tire v tire thread and I may regret this, but... I like my Kubota. Grew up on a farm driving nothing but gear drive, non-shuttle, 2wd, R1’s. I don’t do that now. I’m not a farmer and don’t care to be. At the rate I’m going so far I only put about 200hr/yr on...

Thank you! If you have a pic or two, I’d love to see it. When I hit a dead spot a little later in the year I’ll definitely look at taking the platform and step off to get them lined.

Are they bigger a few decades later... Could be some of that. 🤔 And my L4701 is a little stouter than a B2910. In reality I might have to use the grapple instead of the rotary cutter on 3” stuff. The rotary cutter is rated for 2” and I’ve used it for stuff that big, but 3” might be a bit much.

With all our tractors and implements since I was a kid it has always been get it inside of at all possible, definitely if more than a few days, and always set down whatever was being held up by hydraulics. If the bucket is damaged from sitting on a garage floor or sitting on a dry shed floor...

Don’t do it. Just don’t. If you do, remember, you have been warned. (And no that’s not a political comment.)😳

If you don’t have any of the yellow dpf lights on the right side of the dash lit, you need someone (like your dealer) to diagnose it or someone with more knowledge than I have. If one of the lights on the right side near the temp gauge is lit, send a description or pic. Otherwise sounds like a...

Same here on typos; I have plenty myself. This is what my dpf lights look like. This is what my instrument cluster looks like (when it’s doing the pre-start light check). If yours is different the rest of this is probably useless. Took a video but it wouldn’t post, so I’ll tell you about it...

I just realized in all that lengthy post I made, I rudely did not answer your basic question. Unless your L4701 is set up differently than mine, having inhibit switch lit is not normal. It certainly isn’t for mine. Probably my ignorance but I am not familiar with the acronym “tbd” in relation...

I believe my L4701 was mfg in 2019 but I’m not with it currently and could be wrong. If yours is older or newer referring to your manual may be advisable. At least so far for my L4701 so long as I increase rpm to steady the yellow blinky light when it blinks at me and don’t throttle down until...

Thanks. I would definitely look into the skid plate if I get one (and check out the same issue on other brands for comparison). I can see the stock setup working fine in a lot of situations but it would limit it to the more domestic portions of our property in my case, which might be OK since I...

Lots of good advice. If you don’t want to spend the money on a Pat’s or quick hitch, maybe do it a few more times and if you find yourself still struggling with it get a Pat’s or a quick hitch. If you know someone local who can give you a hands on lesson that might help, too. Hookup for me is...

I haven’t had that problem yet, but thanks for posting. I probably wouldn’t have thought of something as simple as debris limiting pedal travel in a similar scenario. I’ve heard there are a lot of vulnerable fiddly bits under the B’s and BX’s but don’t recall seeing a picture or video of the...

When I bought my tractor the dealer talked me out of a bucket level indicator. Convinced me I’d get the feel for it quickly. If I used the bucket constantly that might be true but most of the 170 hours on my tractor are grapple, forks, rotary cutter, and chipper. The level indicator may be...

When I was about 20 the owner of the house I rented had about a half acre in back that he had let get out of control with 2” to 3” saplings and it bothered me so in exchange for a free month rent, I bought a bush axe, cleared it in a couple of afternoons, and hauled the brush to the local dump...

For cleanup, as you state, it is an oil so soaps that are good at cutting oil seem to work well: Dawn, Go-Jo, etc. I would stay away from any shop type soaps that have pumice or similar sandy scrubbing components as abrading your skin isn’t advisable when it’s covered in poisonous oil. Along...

The front PTOs and mid PTOs being high or model specific RPM make sense. Although my tractor had about 3x the HP of the OP’s it’s still a small tractor. My work tends to involve me in large ag equipment but only in the southeast US so there really are a lot of things common to other areas I’m...

That makes sense for a generator. Only 21 spline 1000 rpm implements I’m familiar with go with the higher rpm to transfer high HP loads at lower torque to keep from snapping shafts so they seem to be stuff that requires 75hp minimum and often much more. Couldn’t imagine what 1000 rpm implement...

Didn’t see this post until after I replied. Wow, a three speed PTO. I have no idea what you would use 750 or 1000 rpm for on a tractor that size but there’s a lot of stuff I don’t know. Learn something new every day. If anyone knows what you’d use the higher PTO speeds for on a small tractor it...

I am not intimately familiar with the model tractor you have, but pretty much every tractor I’ve ever seen has a mark on the tachometer that matches the rated PTO speed. It would be at or near wide open throttle. If your tractor has a two speed PTO you do need to be sure it’s in the lower speed...

I have a LOT of trees in the area I mow so I do a lot of backing up while mowing to get under the trees. A rotary cutter should cut in reverse at least about as good as it does going forward. So far as needing to stop, lift, restart, etc. I don’t know any reason you would need to do that. Just...
