    What model Kubota Tractor do you own?

    L3301 HST with backhoe. It has been very useful and reliable for me.

    Front ballast question

    I have never removed my FEL to mow, but sometimes I remove the bucket. This gives me some ballast in the front without sacrificing visibility or maneuverability. In any event, keep the FEL low to the ground. Just my 2 cents (now worth less than a penny). Jack

    Public Service Announcement: don't set the wood's on fire please.

    This is one reason that I chip instead of burning. Jack

    Opinions on L3301

    I have an 8 year old L3301. It has been pretty much faultless for me. Mine has ag tires, with width set as wide as it goes. I run chains front and rear with a heavy snow (infrequent in my locality). I bought mine used with 300 hours on it. I just passed 700 hours. My only complaints...

    Used L3901, 12 hours, 24k-ish$. Deal or no?

    I am in Western NC, in the mountains at 4400’. I have an L3301 with ag tires (no cab). I would not want a cab because of the woods where I work a lot. Tree limbs and cabs do not get along well. Your circumstances may be different. I bought my tractor 6 years ago when it had 3 years on it...

    Rear blade advice

    I think that jimh406 meant for you to reverse the blade, and go forwards. In this way, you are still diverting snow to the side as you plow without any “bite” into your surface. I think that the hydraulics will handle the weight of the blade fine, but only one way to know for sure...

    Grapple Size - L3800

    I have a 250# Landpride grapple on my L3301 with a 525 Loader. It is a perfect weight/capability match. I would not be happy with a heavier grapple at any price. But I primarily move big logs. Only you can decide if the savings is worth the compromise in performance. Jack

    Piranha toothbar questions

    I have the standard version. Installed it on my L3301 about 4 years ago. It definitely enhances digging in hard-packed soil. I have never taken it off, and probably never will. Jack

    PTO Chipper recommendations

    You will get lots of opinions about burn vs chip. I personally do not want to burn for a variety of reasons. I also have an L3301. I purchased a Woodmaxx WM8H. It works fine, but does have some drawbacks. It only uses 2 knives whereas I think that 4 knives is a better design. It is difficult...

    Cruise Control - L3902 HST

    L3301 owner here. HST pedal is on the right; but my cruise control lever is on the left. From what I see on internet websites, it will be the same location on the L3902. Looks like cost of the kit is almost $300. Should be L8496? Jack
