Hi there,
I recently (well last year actually) bought a grey market GL301 down here in Tasmania, Australia, and I'm trying to get my head around the controls...particularly the linkage. The machine has an after market 4 in 1 bucket, which is all I've been using so far, as I've still got my old Inter 384 for slashing, etc, so haven't needed to use the Kubota for anything other than digging and loading.
However, the wife thinks two tractors on 25 acres is extravagant...so the Inters gotta go! Which means I need to work out the 301 controls.
The thing that has me stumped is the Mix Control Auto box...with its Japanese lettering. I just cant seem to make heads or tails of how all the little dials and switches relate to the hydraulics.
I have a manual (in Japanese of course, obtained by graft and corruption from Kubota in Japan), and can take photo's of the machine as required. My step brother also speaks and reads fluent Japanese, but struggles with what he describes as the hybrid Techno/Jap/English language of the manual.
This is a quantum leap forward for me from the 1970's technology of the old International, so any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Jonathan
