    B7100 check chains/turnbuckle

    I'm also in agreement, he doesn't ship to Canada so I had to drive to Niagara Falls USA to pick them up. But I'm glad I did and no I'm not related to HODGE. :D

    No-spill fueling ideas needed

    Google GCAN. I just purchased one but will not have an opportunity to try it for a couple of weeks. I know its not cheap and I'm not sure the hose is going to be long enough to reach the tank. And I know it only holds 20L or 5 gallons but if it stops fuel from flowing over a hot motor it may...

    Looking for advice on buying a tractor

    I have the little sister of the L3800, the L3200. It has done everything I could ask it to do and been dead reliable to boot. Not sure if you are getting a loader or not, but if you are a ballast box is the first attachment I would purchase. I'm sure you still have snow on the island but down...

    has anyone put a hand rail on right side

    And I thought I was the only one that kept grapping for a handle on the right side! I solved the problem by having the dealer install it when I brought it in for its 50 hour check-up.

    L3800 overheating

    You can't be overloading it I have an L3200 with a 5" rotary cutter and have never noticed the temp come anywhere near the overheating mark. My guess would be the same as those before me either a problem with the thermostat or a problem with the gauge itself. I would just advise you to get it...

    L3200

    0% over 48 months. If you do end up with this tractor get a B series ballast box from your dealer, they are worth about $225.00 and another $75.00 for concrete. This made the tractor much more secure, less tippy when moving with a full load in the loader.

    L3200

    Speeddemon 86 I'm located in Oshawa, Ontario and I was also new to the tractor world a year ago. I purchased an L3200 (2011 model) and here is a quick breakdown of what I paid from my dealer in Picton which is where I have a vacant lot: L3200 with HST....................................$15,100...

    AUGER recomended brands?

    I just purchased a SpeeCo 3pt post hole digger but I didn't purchase the actual auger. Are some brands better then others or are they basically all the same. I also suspect that they have a universal connection between the post hole digger and the auger itself but would like someone to verify...

    3PTH Ballast Box

    I'm located in Coutice, right next to Oshawa ON. Did you get the Kubota ballast box locally or did you have to go to the states to get it. I agree with you that $200 is reasonable for a unit thats already painted orange and I may be fussy but who wants to put an old rusted barrel on the back...

    New L3200 Finally arrives

    Mike. that would be great if you could find out who the manafacturer of your checkerplate canopy is. If I can't get it here I could order it from a dealer in the states and drive over to pick it up. My closest crossing is 30 miles (48 kilometres) directly across Lake Ontario but its a little...

    New L3200 Finally arrives

    Nice machine, just like mine! I really like the Diamond plate canopy but I have never seen one available up here. Is it a custom unit and if not do you know who manufactures them?

    Buying First Kubota L3800HST or JD 3038E? Why

    I purchased an L3200 which I believe is the same frame as the L3800 and I looked at the same model of J.D. that you are looking at. This was going to be my first tractor and I had 0 tractor knowledge and background, so I also had no preference for either a J.D. or a Kubota. When I compared the...

    L3200 Tire Ballist

    I have the same tractor as you. All I know is that when I purchased it I was told that they had loaded the tires. I'm brand new to using a tractor so I couldn't tell you if all four are loaded or just the rear two. I also couldn't tell you what they are loaded with, but being in Canada I can...

    Rear Blade Set-Up

    This is exactly what I have, I just assumed they were more for grading then for snow removal. That being said I will use it this winter to clear my driveway rather then my snowblower. Is a box blade with claws to dig up the soil/gravel the proper attachment to level a driveway?

    Rear Blade Set-Up

    Tractor newbie (L3200). I have installed a rear blade on the 3 point hitch and I'm surprised that this doesn't dig in deeper even though I have the 3 point lever all the way down. It seems to only scrape based on its own weight rather then digging in. I have the top link almost completely...

    First 50 Hour Checkup

    I'm a tractor newbie, I bought my first tractor in the spring (L3200), and I now have almost 50 hours on it. It will soon be time for me to take it into the dealership that I purchased it from. Does anyone have any idea what this service will set me back? Is there any additional service I...

    Quick Attach/Skid Steer

    Could someone tell me if Quick Attach & Skid Steer are the same thing or are they two entirely different setups. My tractor, L3200, should be delivered on Wednesday & I wanted to look at items like forks & such and would like not to look like a total idiot.
