    L3301 Trying to identify oil plug size

    I have a 2014 L3301 (First year DPF model), I think the year is correct) with hydrostatic transmission that suddenly started having driving issues while running a finish mower. Acted as if it had no power to the wheels. I shut it down and noticed a thin line of oil on the ground for quite a...

    landscaping

    I have a little bigger tractor but have done quite a bit of grade work with it. I am assuming when you say drainage you are trying to get a way to have water run away from the house? I personally use a back blade facing forward and pulled on an angle for the first several passes. By working...

    Super shi**y

    I don't know South Carolina real-state law but in Michigan, we have to sign a disclosure statement and NOT telling you there was a tank on the property is a violation and grounds for legal recourse if needed. ANY buried tank, septic, fuel oil, water, what ever must be disclosed here before sale.

    B vs L

    I lived in northern Michigan for many years but 3 years ago, moved south with a job change. I am north of Carson City a bit. I cannot give much advice on your choices of machine but I purchased an L3301 4 years ago and have NOT regretted it. I have 500 hours on it at this time. Up north I...

    Rear ballast

    Personally, I just add an implement off the back. On my blades I have created spots to add some old weight lifting weights if need be and it works great. One thing to consider between the implements and the ballast box, I work mostly in wide open areas. An implement on the back lengthens your...

    Anyone running LED/Strobe Warning Lights?

    I was fortunate and bought a Whelen responder series with a truck cap from an auction site. Topper and light with other lights and headache racks for $95. (Watch government surplus auctions) I have it on top of my tractor and if I am near the road, it is never off. Even in daylight, we have...

    L3301/Trailer

    My L3301 rides on a 20' skid steer trailer. It is a 14000 trailer which is way more than I need but the 20' size is comfortable. I do a lot of different tasks from snow plowing in the winter for my home and a small church parking lot to food plots for wildlife, gravel drives and the same...

    best way to cut around pond

    I have seen several man made lakes around here as a result of gravel mining etc. They often deal with banks just like in your pictures. Many of them take a little is best approach. They will have someone with a dozer come in and flatten or lower the angle of two or three spots that would meet...

    L3901 engine ran away today.

    MFK, I am only a few miles east of you. Did you get your rig from TC or from Tustin? Just curious. I am sitting on a 3301 I purchased from Tustin and if there is something I need to approach them with I would like to do it now before I have any other issues. Interested in hearing how the...

    Harbor Freight Grinder Alert

    Good warning but I am on board with the all electrical equipment can be dangerous. I worked in a foundry for 12 years and we used extremely expensive high frequency right angle grinders. We never had shafts separate but we did have bearings lock which would spin the blade off the shaft. We...

    L3901 cold weather start

    Though I worked it during regen, I did hop off, set the park brake, left the rpm's up and went in to use the facilities. Seems cold does not affect the regen of the tractor as much as bodily functions!!:D Pretty sure if the rpms are up, you can just let it run without actually working You do...

    hints for grading and snow plowing?

    I built my own skid shoes. Had a bit of angle left from a project and made the brackets and with a couple of large bolts, welded a bit of angle and I had skid shoes. Works great on my drive way. Mine is paved but it is very narrow so I can scrap back several feet onto the front lawn without...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    We have had a lot of cold lately but very little snow. The wind kicked up big time and we only got an inch or so of snow but it put it in piles that were rather inconvenient. Since I had not plowed in a couple of weeks, I spent an hour plowing. Not much but it at least was a good taste for a...
