    L3830 steering problem

    I started the L3830 HST Kubota to move it out of the barn. Let it warm up then shut it down. When I went back an hour later to put it back in the barn the power steering was out (and there wasn't much manual steering either). Glad it was mostly a straight shot. The steering seemed to work...

    Unscientific rototillers comparison

    I have been using a King Kutter 6 foot tiller on the back of a Minneapolis Moline Jetstar for several years as my primary tilling machine (35 hp?). it has done well. My first project last winter was repairing broken welds and a few hole patches. That project made me think it was time to...

    Leaf blower question

    I have an older Toro debri blower that I bought around the time all the golf courses were closing in Michigan. A year or so after I bought it I shut the three point off too abruptly and found a weak spot in the robust double width drive chain. I replaced and have been greasing the chain...

    mobile rear remotes- Brainstorm or Brainfart?

    I have 4 tractors that I want to install rear remotes on. Kubota L3830, Green 4320 compact, Green 4200 and maybe Green 3720. two of the greens have "power beyond" kits in the rear. All the tractors are open system hydraulics. So on to the brainfart or brainstorm part. I was thinking why...

    M8540

    looked at an M8540 today. I was just wondering how they hold up and if there are any known issues with that tractor. I was looking at an M9000 before and the A/C was out of it. I kind of shied away because that tractor had some issues keeping the condenser and radiator clean. I guess every...

    Another general tractor question

    I have a 70 hp case IH 695 and I think it needs a new radiator. I was looking at the radiator and there is another heat exchanger right in front of the radiator. It is an old tractor. It might have had a cab on it at one time. Is it likely that this heat exchanger is some type of oil cooler...

    Identification and operation of Hydraulic quick connect

    [/URL][/IMG] [/URL][/IMG] I have these remotes on the back of an 80's case IH 695. I was enlightened by this forum to the beauty of a hydraulic top link and remembered I had these on the case. Can't believe I never thought of a hydraulic top link before. Anyway, I bought a nice looking...

    books on tractor hydraulics?

    i want to add some rear outlets to some of my tractors and control valves. I have searched for how to information books on the subject as I like to read and learn that sort of thing. I can't find any books on the subject of tractor hydraulics. I saw there is a video here and will watch...

    L3830 Rops Bolts

    Trying to fix some things over the winter. My L3830 was bought used with 1000 hrs. One of the folding Rops bolts is missing. I tried finding just a generic replacment but none of the generic metric or standard bolts I bough would thread into the nut on the ROPS. I kind of wondered why no-one...

    M9000 tractor questions

    Hello; I am looking at a M9000 Kubota with a cab. I want to get a machine on which I can use a 7 or 8 foot tiller. I am looking at an M9000 and it looks like it has an 8 speed transmission with the lowest gear moving the machine at 1.6 MPH? It doesn't appear there are any high or low ranges...

    kubota LA723 to Deere bucket adapter

    Hello Everyone. I have just gotten my first Kubota in a long line of tractors. Over the years I have acquired a lot of green colored implements which fit on loaders for Green tractors. I would like to adapt the front of the Kubota loader (which I think is in standard skid steer configuration...
