    Most terrifying moment on a tractor in years

    I've been tracking crude oil and gas prices for over 30 years. These are facts that can easily be substantiated at a link I'll give you. In late 2018 they had almost 1100 total rigs pumping crude oil and natural gas flooding the market. Then Covid came along and the rig count dropped to as low...

    L5740 HST WILL NOT STAY IN HIGH SPEED.

    I've been searching trying to find something about this. These tractors are really pretty bulletproof and it shows because there's very little info out there about problems like these. This hasn't even had the fan belt replaced in almost 2900 hours. Until lately it's been used everyday on a...

    L5740 HST WILL NOT STAY IN HIGH SPEED.

    Sound similar to my son's L3940HST-3 in that it randomly shifts from high to low and vice versa. Now the turtle light and the Auto HDS light are not working. I've been able to get it to do a few times. I need to watch more closely and see if it the turtle light is actually going off. I used it...

    GAS Prices Dont Matter

    It was 49˚ here in west central North Carolina this morning, wow it was nice. Made to 85˚ this afternoon, supposed to be 95-100˚ Wednesday. Wanted to have fire in the firepit this evening but it's so dry it's scary here.

    GAS Prices Dont Matter

    It was a figure of speech. I'm old and used to do that until there were two armed off duty policeman at the bank, one a each entrance. So I signed up for direct deposit which they had just started where I was working.

    Sweet Gum Balls😬

    I've had a couple of those Sweet Gum balls to wedge into the mower deck pulleys. About a month ago my wife was mowing and calls and says there's something wrong with the mower, JD X720. Well I had her start it up and turn on the mower and I see the V belt bouncing like crazy and I had her turn...

    GAS Prices Dont Matter

    I couldn't agree more. I'm retired and I know years ago before I retired if I was off a day during the week you could hit town around 2-3pm and have the roads and streets to yourself. Now it's like Friday and everyone is going to the bank with their paycheck 7 days a week all hours of the...

    750d injection pump fears

    I like to repair to a point but our son just had a Bosch injection pump rebuilt and put back on the CaseIH Maxxum with a 5.9L Cummins today. This a tractor they depend on for a full-time operation. It was leaking pretty badly around one of the shafts. No room to do anything without removing it.

    Engine oil and trans,hyd fluid help please..

    Here's my issue with 'our', that doesn't mean all, Tractor Supply store and few other of their stores nearby. They store their hydraulic fluid outside year round. Rain, sleet, snow, 100 degree heat like we're going to have this week. Usually you can always find at least one with a lid popped off...

    Workshop Manual

    Do you happen to have a WSM that includes a L3940HST? We're having some shifting problems with it randomly going back and forth between High and Low but only in Medium range. It has almost 2900 hours on it with no repairs.

    Grease fitting

    I agree. We maintain about 25-30 pieces of farm equipment here that all have grease fittings and we've never used anything but regular grease gun tips with a flexible hose and this is a full-time operation. Actually our main grease gun right now a Harbor Freight we bought as a backup to our...

    when will the Grand L 60 series be replaced?

    I can't imagine them making many changes at this time with it being so hard to stuff from suppliers. Our son has a Grand L3940 and L4060, but great tractors. The L3940 has 2600 hours and no repairs except a couple batteries, knock on wood. The Grand L40 series ran from 2007-2013

    3560le or 4701?

    If you ever spend a little time on Grand L it'll ruin you. Our son has two. He looked at lots other stuff before buying the L4060 as a backup for a loader tractor, he just didn't want to downgrade from all the features and creature comforts of the Grand L. His L3940 now has well over 2500 hours...

    New L2501 purchased today

    Sounds like pretty good deal to me. A couple things about those R1 Ag tires is that the rears have adjustable width and you can 2 or 3 sets of wheels weights on them. Have fun and be safe. The tax thing sucks. I know a kubota dealer and when they started allowing full sales tax on tractors it...

    L3560 limited vs l4060

    I would drive both an MX and the Grand L3560 and L4060 series. Our son has had a Grand L since new in 2009 and has around 2200 hours on it and decided this past Spring to get another utility tractor and looked at many models and had decided on a L3560HST but another dealer had a L4060HST in a...

    M9540HDC24 Stuff

    Here's one difference between a Kubota HST(high pressure) filter and a Napa/Wix for a L3940. BTW the low pressure side filter will not accommodate the magnet from the oil filter to catch the metal shavings. Kubota: HHTA0-59900 Napa/Wix: 7616. I believe Wix took an existing filter and made a...
