Pay attention to the label on the jugs. I stopped at a store a while back and nearly bought "Summer Blend" that only protects from freezing to 32°F. Like this: https://www.amazon.com/AutoZone-Summer-Windshield-Removes-environment/dp/B08VW3BVJX

Is there some confusion between "pedal" and "throttle"?

From that list, I'd say the 2014 L3200. Had one and it was OK. Mine didn't have the QA loader. Would have been nice. I worked around that by making a few implements that fastened to the bucket. The QA on the L4240 allows quick switching between bucket, forks, etc. Around here you can pick...

First of all, glad you and the tractor came out of it unscathed. Must admit to having a couple quick descents over the years due to the range selector as well. I have always removed the entire FEL and frame for finish mowing with the last three tractors. All had filled tires and RFM's. My...

My L4240 isn't too similar and the pic isn't great. Mine has the belt barely kissing the pulley.

Welcome aboard and congrats on the retirement! Take plenty of time to decide because it's better to get what you really need (or want) without going through a couple different tractors to get there. A tractor that may feel really big when you first hop on it gets smaller as you gate accustomed...

Not a Zero guy, was just suggesting that there's a possibility it's something simple.

I could give you two long stories, but the last line of each would be "I should have checked the simplest thing first". I'd start with a thorough check of linkages, etc.

The limit switch on the L3200 I had caused a no-start. After finding the cause, the pedal could be tickled back and forth to make it start. Adjusting the switch was pretty straightforward, and here's a post with some pics...

The most slope I have here is a part of the yard that's about 16° / 29%. The tractor feels stable while mowing sidehill. If the grass is wet, I usually approach it in a more up & down pattern.

Does your filler cap have a rubber curlicue? If so that's a vent. (#80)

No scientific answers from me, but can relate a couple experiences. The most impressive was several years ago when I left a half-full (or half empty for some) clear plastic water bottle on the black dash in my truck. Sun was bright with the truck facing South. Couple hours later sufficient...

My guess is it has much more to do with air than oil. There's a lot of air in the various cases, nooks and crannies. Maybe half the volume? As the air warms up it expands. When it cools it shrinks. It has all night (or a week or a month) between uses to slowly draw in replacement air in...

Clogged vent? On another forum a poster had oil being pushed out of the axle seals on his Mahindra due to pressure buildup. Mud daubers deciding to seal off a vent tube. Cleaned the tube and it corrected the problem.

Please have a second look at the seat switch.

Kubota L4240HSTC, bought used in December 2018 with 977 hours on it. Currently has 1460 hours. Ford 1210, bought used around 1991 with hours I don't recall, and has 1743 hours now. This tough ol' girl has served beside a B7500, an L3200 and now the L4240. She hasn't seen as much use in...

Mom was a good cook, but the rats in the kitchen were so bad nobody would eat the homemade raisin bread.

Going one step lazier, came up with a quick and easy mount for the Kubota. Since the RFM is on almost full-time from sometime in March till the leaves are all down, I came up with a mount that consists of two drilled holes and a pair of eyebolts. Cord with an inline switch goes in through the...

Another quick fix for someone who was too lazy to go for one of the three calipers he has. A pair of combination squares together on their 45* gave a close enough diameter measurement on a round tube.

Beautiful day yesterday. BIL needed some seat time too. Snapped pic of his L4740 mowing while I was out spraying at our place.
