    brush cutting old timber land

    As I have bent or broken a couple tail wheels on my bushhog by backing into something over the years, I'm always cautious of backing into areas where I don't know what is there. Similarly, running over a stump or unseen T post is equally concerning. In those cases I usually lower the bucket...

    Ditto on the "check your tires" comment. Once had a BX 1500 where one of the tires spun on the rim. Good luck.

    Unable to engage 4 wheel drive

    The front driveshaft coupler on my L35 stripped and was easy to replace--held by roller pin. But it made a rumble noise when engaged in 4 WD. Jack up front and make sure that's your problem before tearing into it. I found it easier to remove roller pin first and place in last as you will need...

    M6800 electrical issue

    Probably not your problem, but I had to replace the ground cable on my 6800 as ohm meter showed it was faulty with a weak start. Good luck.

    BT900 Refurbishment and fun

    Great work on your BH. I have a 2000 L35 LTB. They are great machines. Unfortunately many were used in the renatal business and were abused and left to sit outside. I use a local hose shop for all my hoses--measure and fit. Even though my machine has always been stored inside the shed...

    Help buying a used RTV 900

    I have a 2006 RTV 900 with 2700 hrs. Bought new. I use it on the farm for utility work and keeping an eye on everything, which includes some steep hills. It goes everywhere I want. I normally drive in mid range around the farm, but put it in low on steep climbs and descents. I'd want to...

    L35 Bt900 backhoe hydraulic hoses

    I had a local tractor mech replace all of my L35 BH hoses. He found it cheaper and quicker to source hoses locally. Good luck.

    L35 TLB GST

    If your hoses have been replaced over the past few years, you should be good to go. We had a local hose shop make the BH hoses. With the dipper clynder rebuild, total cost was just over $700, including local mech labor. Recall hose costs from Kubota was much more and availability was also a...

    L35 TLB GST

    I have a 2000 L35 TLB with 2600 hrs. Always stored inside. Solid machine. Plan on replacing hoses. I had a local mech replace the BH hoses along with a leaking dippler clyninder recently. I had to replace the metal hyd lines coming out of the tranny to the hyd pump and loader valve a couple...

    m9000 temp. help

    I have an M6800, which I believe has the same set up as yours. In the heat, my gauge runs between middle and 3/4 when bushhogging. Key is to keep the radiator fins blown out. I have to stop regularly to clean off debris from the hood inlets. Others have reported using a battery pack blower...

    Kubota L35 TLB - Delivery Pipe (Front Pump)

    I replaced both tubes coming from tranny on my L35. I recall only one connected to a hose that went to the loader. The other was a tube going to the pump. Hard area to get leverage to break connections loose. Good luck.

    Stacking Implements for Storage?

    Space is limited in my 2 bay tractor shed. I picked up a heavy duty 4x4x9 rack from a construction company years ago and put the grapple on it, leaving room for the bucket underneath. I often stick the bush hog under freeing up room in the other bay, and with some 2x8s on the grapple, can rest...

    RVT900 transmission noise

    Most likely u-joints on the front drive shaft. Known problem with the older RTVs. While in 2wd drive, crawl under and give them a shake. 4wd "loads" the joints and they don't rattle. Several years ago, someone came up with a local fix that worked for a while. I replaced mine a couple years...

    What Weights Needed To Pull Plough

    I use to pull 3x16 plow with my M6800 4WD with rear weights in moderate clay and loam soils. It would grunt at times.
