    L4610HST - leaking front gear case?

    Hi all, We're seriously considering an L4610HST with loader and forks (quick attach) listed at $22,000 CAD. 1700 hours. Great condition overall. My in-laws checked out the tractor and their only concern was the front gear case on both sides show grease/oil on the outside of the case. Is it...

    Towing Capacity of an L4150

    Well said! I've moved that house without issue with a 60hp Fiat. It was on flat ground, grass and real slow so the weight of it would stop all movement on a soft surface. I just don't want to break the gearbox in the first week of ownership LOL.

    Towing Capacity of an L4150

    Hi all, Are there any specs on towing capacity of tractors or general rules of thumb? I'm looking to move a 10,000 lbs tiny house (2 axles, large tires) around my property with an L4150. Is this advisable? I tried searching but nothing came up. Thanks!

    Help! Should I buy this L4150?

    Thanks Paul. We're leaning towards buying it with the issues, running if it's not a big nuisance and planning to fix it if necessary. We'd still come out ahead, in the long run, to have a quality machine vs a cheaper brand/model.

    Help! Should I buy this L4150?

    Yeah it's a tough call without a proper estimate for repairs. I called my local dealer and they said it could be a relief valve that needs to be replaced to fix the 3pt issue and he can't even source it. I see that it's an expensive part new in the US. We'd probably have to find a used one if...

    Help! Should I buy this L4150?

    I'm looking at a tractor listed on a Canadian classifieds site and I'd love your advice as there are two known problems with it. We're 5 hours away from the seller. I local Kubota dealer can zip up and have a look or the seller has offered to wait until I come down on Friday. The questionable...

    Would you buy a tractor sight unseen?

    Thanks for sharing your experience. It sounds like having a living breathing human to check it out is a bare minimum.

    Would you buy a tractor sight unseen?

    I was thinking of using a broker/logistics company to get it across the border *IF* we went ahead.

    Would you buy a tractor sight unseen?

    Hi folks, I am in the market for a used L series Kubota around Ottawa, Canada. There aren't many that come up on the classified sites or local dealers near-ish to me. Is there ever a situation that calls for buying a tractor sight unseen? I am seeing a good selection of tractors in the US on...

    Loader specs needed to lift a 1200 lbs pallet of dried chicken manure?

    Based on the great advice here and my own research, I think we're better off with a small tractor and rid ourselves of the expectation to store heavy pallets high off the ground. I would prefer a small tractor (and price!). As long as we can move the pallets around, it works for us. I'll look...

    Loader specs needed to lift a 1200 lbs pallet of dried chicken manure?

    I didn't realize tractor data has specs for the attachments. That's very useful! Thanks of elaborating on some important considerations.

    Loader specs needed to lift a 1200 lbs pallet of dried chicken manure?

    General fieldwork, plowing, discing, cultivating on 2-5 acres. We were hoping to stick to the L series as the tractor width fits our current bed width nicely.

    Loader specs needed to lift a 1200 lbs pallet of dried chicken manure?

    This is my first post! We're in the market for a used Kubota L or M series for our vegetable farm. Goodbye walk behind tractor! There are so many models of tractors and loaders it is getting overwhelming. Can you help me figure out what type of loader is required to lift a 1200 lbs pallet (big...
