    2 drain plugs for hydralic fluid on L4400

    What is/was your Profession?

    Worked 25 years as the parts dept. manager at forestry equipment dealership. Great Christian people to work for. When you thought you had seen or heard it all, something else would pop up. Been retired now for 4 years and still have not found any spare time but loving every minute of it.

    Fuel Cans

    I also use the replacement spouts from Tractor Supply. Also, if you don't have a vent, a small hole with a golf tee pushed in works fine.

    Small fuel hose from injector, what size?

    My 2013 L4600 has injection pump and mechanical injectors. It does not have a DPF. The decal at fuel cap states to use low sulfur fuel. Is this a tier 3 engine?

    Thanks much guys. I will probably mark them tomorrow. I have to clip about 7 acres in the next week or so and the ground is a little rough. The loader, even with bucket off does quit a bit of bouncing up and down on the rough terrain. Just cannot be very good for the loader or the tractor...

    Color codes of hoses at joystick valve?

    Just became an owner of a Kubota L4600 with an Ansung front end loader. There are no color codes on the hoses at the quik couplers at the joystick control valve.
