    Save a tree

    So I’ve had this what seems to be sap all over my truck and anything else that I park near a very large oak tree in our yard, well it’s mostly on our property. Been parking in the same spot for a number of years and never had this problem. After a google search it appears to be “honey dew” from...

    Replace fuel injectors on L3800?

    So it looks like i managed to break the fuel overflow pipe that sits on top of the injectors. Just curious if there is any need to go ahead and replace the injectors while I have it apart? She ran fine prior to this issue and has about 1000 hours on her. Did a search and didn’t find a direct...

    Did it again, broken fuel filter housing.

    Well, I was out clearing some brush yesterday and something clipped the fuel filter housing and it broke. This happened the first time a few months after owning my L3800, about ten years ago. Of course this happened about as far away from the barn as I could get on my property. I had a pair of...

    Trailering tie down question.

    I’m sure this has been discussed but it im not finding exactly what I’m looking for. As I sit her with a couple broken toes bored as, you know what and having recently purchased a new trailer to haul my L3800 a couple questions have come to mind. So from what I’ve gathered two tie downs are...

    It’s a glorious day!!

    Just made the last payment on my L3800,woohoo!!! I’d have to look at the hours but she still runs like a top. I’ve enjoyed every minute of operating time I’ve put on it. Wish I would have got one many years earlier. So if you’re on the fence about buying one and can afford it, go for it

    Replacing hydraulic hose

    So I noticed the other day that the hose going form the FEL joystick to the block below the floorboard, sorry I don't know the actual name of the parts, has a worn spot on it. It's going to blow or start leaking soon. I stopped by the new local dealer Friday, he will have to order the hose. I...

    What happened to Eric?

    When I first came around these parts Eric was a very active poster here. Just curious why he doesn't post any more? I'm on a few other forums and I've know guys to change their user name but it usually doesn't take long to figure who's who. Any idea?

    Insurance?

    I'm happy to say i only have 6 payments left on my L3800. I've have been paying for the kubota insurance with my payment each month. To be honest, I don't recall what I'm paying paying per month off the top of my head but I'm curious to what others have done once they have made that last...

    Garden question

    Ok so I've been a gardener for at least 10years. I've been using the same location almost all those years. I will rotate where in the garden I put which plants. In the first few the weeds in the dead of summer almost kept me from gardening anymore, but I moved more toward a square foot gardening...

    Bought a new toy...

    Well new to me anyway, I've been wanting to get back to riding on the street for a while now and this bike showed up at a very reasonable price. Had to drive about 150 miles to get it but it was worth it. Although, it was 43 degrees when I started riding it home, great way to get my feet wet...

    FEL supports

    Anyone ever have issues with their FEL support stands failing? Mine seem to work just fine. Another Kubota owner I know would never take his FEL off due to concerns that the supports provided would not hold up. I explained that mine is off more than it is on and the supports do there job just...

    Saving a leaning tree??

    I haven't been posting much here lately but I'm on a roll today. Anyway my special lady friend has a row of 20-25ft tall cedar trees that are much needed for a wind break and soon will be needed for a bit of a sound barrier as well. There is a new highway about to opened a couple hundred feet...

    Finish mowers

    I haven't posted in a while but still check the site often. Anyway, I bought a really used Caroni finish mower last year to use behind my L3800. I didnt give a whole lot for it as I wanted to see if this was the way for me to go without spending a lot of money. Well needless to say it is, I...

    WOW, its been two years already!

    Two years ago, I bit the bullet and bought my L3800, just finished filling out the survey Kubota sends out. I've had nothing but a positive experience with my new tractor. So it received pretty high marks from me. Man time fly's when your having fun...

    L3800 PTO Rattle/Noise

    It's hard to describe a sound but I have a rattle or slight ticking when the pto is engaged. I can only hear it at very low at low RPM's. It's coming from around or below the PTO area. I know this is vague but does anyone else have a similar sound at idle when the PTO is engaged? I stopped...

    Building a counter weight question

    If I have the time over the weekend I'm considering building a counter weight for my 3pt hitch. I'm sure this has been covered so you have to forgive me. It will either be made using a wooded form with concrete or I thought about going with the barrel full of concrete technique. I guess my...

    Cover crop

    Anyone else in here plant a cover crop over the winter? I have very pour soil (clay) and I'm looking to improve it anyway I can. I'm going to do a half acre plot this year and see how it goes. I suppose I should do test on the soil to see exactly what i need but I'm thinking about a hairy...

    Right of way, easement

    Anyone in here have first hand knowledge of what the right of way/easement laws are? Long story short, I have a small power line running thru my property. I believe it also supplies cable tv, as well. I personally do not receive any services from either company. My complaint, they trimmed...
