    ZD-28 Mower Blades

    Bought this used and when I looked at the blades after using it for 100 hours I noticed that 2 blades had a couple inch notch in the middle at one end of the blade. The third blade was all steel like I would expect. Is this right? If I need blades I think the part number is Kubota...

    Hydraulic hose treatment?

    I notice that my hydraulic hoses seem to be getting "dried out" and maybe getting brittle and ready to crack. I was wondering if anyone used some type of rubber treatment to keep them flexible and protected from UV destruction. For the record I've never disconnected them and I have about 500...

    Land Pride RCR1860 Gearbox....Mystery SOLVED!

    What's the gear oil capacity of this gearbox? The manual says 4 1/2 pints but that seem like a lot especially because the RCR1872 only takes 4 pints. When I changed it last time I think it took about 1/2 of that before it came out of the peep hole on the side. The book does not give you how...

    Rotary Cutter Float?

    The Manual for my RCR1860 says that the arm lift rods on the tractor 3 point hitch should be adjusted to allow for "lateral float". Can someone explain that to me and how to do that? I'm thinking that means that the RCR1860 should be able to move from side to side somewhat so don't cinch the...

    L3200 won't start....Going RAT-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT

    So yesterday after bushhogging my pastures for 5 hours I go to leave. As I pull up to the gate and cutoff the cutter and lower the throttle speed to idle it dies. I open the gate and get back on the tractor and go to start it and I get nothing. I make sure the seat safety switch is disengaged...

    ZD28 Cutting Height Adjustment

    For some reason I cannot get the cutting height control dial to turn one way or another, regardless of whether or not the mower deck is raised or lowered. I want to get it set to 1-1/2" for the Bermuda I have so I can then ensure that the rollers are set correctly to the recommended ground...

    Mower Forum and ZD28 Universal Joint & Greasing Questions

    When I search for my mower I get a list of posts that are in the "Mower Forum". Yet I don't see this forum under the "Forums" drop down menu. Where do I look to access this forum so I can look at all the posts? Under greasing the Universal Joints, the manual shows 3 grease fitting locations...

    Cleaning the oil cooler, radiator and screen...

    So I notice that when I am bushhogging the pastures the dust it creates plus cutting the vegetation with the "fluffballs" on top can lead to a covered/clogged screen that is located in front of the radiator and behind the oil cooler. This leads to the temperature rise to just below the red on...

    Kubota mower forum

    When I bought my L3200 I found this forum to be invaluable in taking care of my new orange baby. I just bought a used Kubota RCK60P-28Z zero turn mower. I think I got a good deal...diesel engine only 680 hours - new fluids, filters and blades. I wonder if anyone can direct me to a similar...

    Greasing the Front Axle Support

    So I am trying to grease the front axle support. I took out the breather plug like it tells you to do. I greased the front grease fitting and grease came out of the breather tube almost immediately. However, when I went to grease the front axle support grease fitting behind the axle I just...

    No L3200/3800 Fuel Shut-Off Switch?

    So for some reason Kubota did not install one on these units. I'm getting ready to replace my fuel filter and thought I'd install one while I'm at it. I want to make sure I get a good quality one that will stand up to the diesel fuel and hot weather here in the south. Any recommendations...

    Screwed the pooch....

    So I normally attach a drag harrow to my RCR1860 rotary cutter when cutting the pasture to help break up the horse manure piles. Anyway, yesterday without thinking I backed up over the drag harrow with the cutter turning. Of course, the harrow was broken into about 10 pieces but my bigger...

    Rejuvenating PHD cutting edges and corkscrews?

    So I have a few pairs of cutting edges and a couple of corkscrews from the Tractor Supply PHD that are pretty much dulled out from putting in 100+ posts in the Georgia clay. I have rotated the edges (in and out) to try to max the life but they look pretty well shot. My question is whether or...

    RCR1860 PTO Shaft hook

    So the PTO shaft hook on the RCR1860 has broken on me twice. See the pictures. I'm putting another on because I hate leaving the shaft U-joint at the other end on the ground when its not hooked up to the tractor. I'm wondering if I might be tightening it too much so when it hit something it...

    Trench Attachment for Loader???

    I'm burying a small black poly irrigation water line about 12" deep. I had a fellow with a skid steer do some other work and he just attached what looked like an 18" or so spike to his loader and made the narrow trench I needed. I now find I have to extend that line. Do they make something...

    L3200 losing power

    So occasionally my L3200 would lose power. I had posted on this issue a while ago and have taken all the advice I've gotten from here and put it to good use. By that I mean, I've: Changed out the fuel filter blown out all the fuel lines dumped my diesel in case it was bad Added an algaecide...

    Losing Power...

    Was just tooling along dragging my arena when all of a sudden I'm losing power on my L3200HST. It will not go over 1500rpm now...almost like I lost a cylinder. I limped back to the Pole Barn where its sitting awaiting a diagnosis and repair. Fuel Bowl is full so I don't think its that. Any...

    Tire Pressure

    So I was told 30psi all around but when I looked at my L3200 tires it said 30psi max on the rears (which are loaded) but then 45psi max on the fronts. The fronts are Titan 27x8.5-15NHS tires. What should be the pressure for the front tires? I would think 45psi. Thoughts? Thanks in advance.

    I knew I bought that Hay Spear for a reason...

    Even though we don't normally use round bales, it served me well in unrolling a spool of 360 feet of 1/0, 1/0-2 wire to use for a subpanel in my new Pole Barn where the LQ 3-Horse Trailer and my Kubota will reside. I buried it in the same trench 18" from my 1" Poly water line that will serve...

    Counterbalance weights on 3ph

    Given I am trying to maximize the weight I can lift with my new forks (or a bucket, for that matter), I know I need to counterbalance with weight on the 3PH. I have loaded rear tires , but no weights to put on other than a bushhog or other 3P implement. I was thinking about filling up my 60...
