    L2850 Battery replacement

    You have to be careful using the Kubota numbers on the battery. Mine in my L3560 has a 80D26R tag meaning the positive is on the right when you're facing the battery with the terminals closest to you. Absolutely wrong in my case. Size 26 is way smaller than the actual battery, which is a...

    Knowing what you know now, would you buy the same tractor again?

    I bought my first tractor, L3560 new 5-1/2 years ago. I have 10 acres of open desert property with a small tree area. I have done a lot of trenching with the BH77, a lot of dirt moving and grading with the LA805 and a lot of moving stuff with the pallet forks. At the time I felt I'd spent...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    The installer was the previous property Owner. Most things he did he did himself and were half-a##sd like this. The posts are doug fir untreated and about 1 ft deep. No reason that he couldn't dig deeper other than lazy. So I'm just stacking the pieces as they fall down and will decide...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    The prior Owner of our property put in a wood fence with insufficient post depth and materials. When we get a heavy thunderstorm and 60 mph winds I usually lose a section of the fence, and that happened this week. My tractor is worth its weight in gold in holding up these sections so I can...

    L3560LE 4WD HST

    I have an L3560 with the LA805 loader, it's a great combination. Not just for the bucket but for the pallet forks and my skeleton rock bucket. You made a great choice, the L3560 is a lot heavier machine.

    Parking brake doesn’t hold on slope

    Update: I loosened the left brake rod and tightened the right brake rod a little and now I can set the parking brake with the pedals latched together. The free travel is larger than the spec range though.

    Parking brake doesn’t hold on slope

    Check your owners manual, there is a range for the free travel. On my L3560 it's 15-20 mm, 0.59 - 0.78 “. (9/16” - 3/4”). My parking brake wasn't latching so I adjusted my free travel to about 5/8". It was about 1-1/4" and the rods felt loose so I lengthened them with the turnbuckle.. I...

    L3302 for first tractor?

    You'll learn to appreciate the 1200 lb heavier L3560 over the L3302. I have the LA805 loader and the BH77 backhoe. It's a beast. I'd go for the BH92 backhoe if I had it to do over again for the longer backhoe reach.

    Tractor weight question

    I was able to calculate my tractor weight from the Kubota tractor and attachment spec weights online. Took a little searching but you should be able to do that. Just search the individual model number specs.

    Dumping landline phone service?

    We had our land line for a few years since it was part of a bundle with internet. We quickly unplugged the land line since all we got were robocalls. When a better deal without bundling came along we dumped the land line.

    To 4WD or Not To 4WD

    I only use 4WD when the back tires spin due to a heavy loader load and the condition or slope of the ground underneath them. As soon as I'm out of that situation I put it back in 2WD to reduce stress on the front axle when turning. I don't have to do any snow!

    "Grading" Rocky Terain?

    I have a skeleton rock bucket, you might try one. It worked well for scooping out bamboo roots for me. I have found that they tend to pick up a lot of dirt along with the rocks though.

    L series Backhoe worth getting?

    Today was a good example of having a backhoe and why I wouldn't be without mine. I was getting ready to pull a fence T-post out of the ground with a chain and the loader and a creosote bush was in the way. So I just turned around and in a minute the backhoe had the creosote bush out. Things...

    L series Backhoe worth getting?

    I use my BH77 on my L3560 a lot and wouldn't be without it. I've done electrical trenching and my own leach field including exposing the old concrete tank. I took out bamboo roots from a 20 x 30 ft stand of bamboo and those roots are really tough. There are times I wish I had the BH92 for the...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    I have the Kubota manual grease gun that I bought from the Dealer when I picked up my tractor. Absolutely dread replacing the cartridge. Almost impossible to get the old one out and get the new one all the way in. The little silver lever at the bottom never seems to work right. But when it's...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    I have an MSA 200C, absolutely love it. Good power and battery life. Lightweight easy to handle.

    First tractor

    Your pallet fork specs are the same as my Kubota forks. Mine are adjustable and are SSQA. I have a 16" bucket on my backhoe with mechanical thumb and it's perfect. I use the backhoe and pallet forks all the time.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    I've been putting in a new leach field for an old septic tank on our property. I'm amazed at how well the BH77 does. So glad I got the backhoe, since I dig and then need to turn around and move the dirt to have access to put the gravel in this trench. Loving the L3560 and 4WD! The trenches...

    A knob is an attachment right?

    I bought the Kubota knob when I first got my new L3560 but have never put it on, and don't miss having one. The steering is so easy.
