    Lubing PTO cable and linkage

    My L3901 HST also experiences the PTO not disengaging. The dealer told me to crawl under the tractor and spray Kubota cable lube onto the PTO cable (into the rubber covering) when this happens. REALLY Kubota? How about fixing the problem.

I have fine that a few times but the issue reappears a few...

    L3901 - Oil on battery tray - from where???

    My L3901 with 31 hours on it has the same issue with what appears to be oil on the battery tray and on the concrete floor of the barn. I was about to call the dealer but it sounds like the repair is simple, so I guess I will do it myself.

    Trailer hitch - On the bucket or 3 Point?

    So is the hole in the drawbar a standard size that will accept a standard ball with the threaded shaft, like the hitch on a truck/car?

    FEL hooks

    I also have Ken’s hooks and they are great. I was a bit apprehensive about drilling into my brand new bucket but his instructions made it easy and they are very useful.

    HST Whine Noise

    I have new L3901HST with about 10 hours on it. There is a relatively loud and annoying whining noise that I believe is coming from the transmission while driving. It seems to be louder when the tractor is under a load, like going up hill. I am hoping someone will tell me this will go away...

    Finally, after a few delays it was delivered today. L3901HST, FEL, rotary cutter, canopy, front pallet forks, cruise control and the right side grab bar, (not sure why they don’t just install them on all L tractors). Now the fun begins.....

    3901 mods

    Your tractor looks great. I just ordered a new L3901 and can’t wait to start doing a few mods to it. I have learned a lot from this forum. There are some great ideas here.

    New guy, first tractor, cant decide

    I am in a similar situation. Want vs. Need???? I was about to pull the trigger on a new L3901 with a FEL and brush hog, for my recently acquired 11.5 acres where I now live. I also have another 10 acres about a mile down the road but it is heavily wooded and I am not sure what I will do with...

    First Tractor Recommendation

    Sounds like I should get the R4’s. Thanks again for the information.

    I am guessing the R4 will work best for me. Not much mud on my property. Thanks for the help.

    First Tractor Recommendation

    One other question. The dealer asked me if I wanted agricultural tires or industrial tires. For property maintenance, (brush hogging, moving dirt/gravel etc.) on mostly level ground, which tire type makes the most sense?
