    Hydraulic hoses …

    Apparently they last 23 years. My 1999 L3010 has had 4 hoses go this year. Only a couple more to go!

    Air filter service light issue?

    Started the L3010 for the first time in a couple weeks and the air filter light came on in the center of the console display. Only a few hours since full service including new air filters. I pulled both primary and secondary filters. They look new but I blew them off with air hose and...

    L3010 rear PTO O-ring seal?

    Used my 60" tiller and noticed a long thin piece of rubber sticking out next to spine. 4-5" long. Pulled it off and continued. It isn't leaking any HF (yet). Should I ignore it unless it starts leaking? Pull the rear plate off and replace? Or does the shaft and bearing have to come out also? The...

    3rd function kit (WR Long)

    Installed by shop on my L3010 and works great, but... is there an easy way to change the toggle switch function? The top toggle closes the grapple and the lower one opens, which seems counter-intuitive to me. switch out the hydro fittings so I can switch the lines? electric cable from the thumb...

    Finally jumped- grapple, 3rd fxn, and quick attach adapter.

    I have had a kubota quick attach for a couple years, never mounted it because all I had was the pin mount bucket. I knew I would eventually add something. (BTW found the new never mounted QA adapter at the scrap yard!) Finally ordered a 60" EA single lid grapple, 3rd function hydro kit, and a...

    Battery life

    Just put #3 battery in my 1999 L301 Last one was from oreillys auto parts and lasted 10 years. The original battery went when I was moving a log onto a trailer with a chain from the loader and the log had a big splinter on the end and it swung around and punched a hole in the battery through the...

    What price if I sell my grand L3010?

    Wife and I are thinking about selling our rural homestead and downsizing going in to retirement. My 1999 L3010 GST w FEL, pin mount hd round back bucket, loaded R4s, 1350hrs with no issues, very good condition and always kept in building. Has engine block heater and some upgraded LED work...

    Overloaded by all the LED mod options

    Maybe I should have done the led replacement bulbs for headlights first. I'll eventually swap out all the original bulbs I think. But for now I bought 2 floods to replace the rear-facing halogens and am waiting on a lightbar for the top of the ROPS. I'll get those on soon and see. There is a...

    clearing brush and undergrowth

    We have a 2-3 acre grove of mixed timber west of our house and my wife is coming around to the idea of cleaning it up, taking out some multiflora rose, honeysuckle, and a few mulberry trees etc and leaving the black walnut and oaks. Trouble is she wants it done on a budget. I currently have a...

    Thinking of going front end crazy.

    What I mean is expanding my options. sort of a lot. My 1999 L3010 with 1300 hours on it is a solid dependable unit with no issues, perfectly sized for most of what I do. It has a pin-on HD round back bucket on the FE loader. BUT I recently picked up a SSQA adapter for the loader (amazing scrap...

    Quick Attach conversion- question re plate thickness

    After my incredibly lucky acquisition of a SSQA for my loader, I'm looking at weld-on adapter plate for my pin mount bucket. I see plates in 1/4", 5/16", 3/8", and even 1/2" thickness. The QA mounts around the pins are 3/8 and my bucket is a HD round back bucket and the mounting tabs are 3/8"...

    Quick attach info needed!

    Help me out please. While at the scrapyard today I spotted kubota orange in a pile waiting for the baler. I pulled out and set aside an almost new looking kubota brand I think QA adapter. It looked about the right size for my old LA481 loader with the pin on bucket. I took some measurements...

    Well, THAT'S never happened before!

    Low front tire. it's had a slow leak for awhile and I realized it needed a squirt of air. Drove over to the shop opening and rolled out the air hose. Started to unscrew the cap and it seemed like it was going more turns than it should. I couldn't see around my big fingers and the valve guard. I...

    One Kubota loaded only 4 pieces of firewood-1 at a time

    Pulling 4 pieces of oak 38-40" across and 20" thick home on my crappy trailer. Probably 2000+ pounds on a trailer that should only carry 800 on a good day. It was a crappy trailer even before my wife wrecked it 2 weeks ago when she jack-knifed it on a hill in the pasture (did more damage to my...

    If you come here for repair advice...

    ...at least follow up with us and let us know AFTER the FIX! I'm glad this forum is here and y'all have helped me and also many others, but I really appreciate the folks that bother to come back and let us know what worked, or didn't. (Thanks Bic, your recent glow plug thread prompted me to...

    Darn glow plug issue now worse

    Darn glow plug issue now FIXED After an intermittent problem of the gp indicator light sometimes coming on and going off or flickering whenever it felt like it, it is now full on all the time. If I turn the key it comes on and if I wait before cranking I don't hear the relay click off. The...

    How much play in steering?

    My L3010 has just over 1200 hours on it. The FEL has only been off once and its primary uses are loader work and mowing or grading. While unloading it from the trailer yesterday my helper noticed what he thought was excess play in the front end. There is some slop in the steering but since I am...

    Tire chains. Type and source?

    We are getting snow on top of the ice we got yesterday. I can't do anything to clear the snow because or drive is all downhill. My kubota has R4 bar treads and I need chains. I had chains for my old green and yellow 2wd tractor but they always ended up between the treads on the Ag tires and...

    New life for old NiCad batteries?

    I heard about this on a welding forum. Battery packs from cordless power tools can be zapped back to life with a DC welder. Ever the sceptic, I thought yeah sure, another Internet legend with no truth behind it, but there were enough guys claiming it worked and what the heck, I had nothing to...

    HOT! What else to check?

    I used my 1999 grand L 3010 with the rotary cutter about 4 weeks ago and it was running a little hot when I put it up. Today I got it out for the first time since, moved the cutter deck and quick hitched the box blade for about 30 minutes of dirt work. Put the tiller on and started tilling...
