Just got a L3800 hst with FEL, I am trying to read all post but unsure how to put FEL in float, reading about this in posts. Also can a 3 point be put in float? Thanks and sorry for dumb questions. Tractor has 3.2 hours and I really like the looks of everybody's line x on floor boards.
Budpat/Eric:
That you tube about float the FEL was for another Kubota model, not the L3800. I hope that didn't confuse you. The 3800 and 3700 series float by putting the joystick in the upright position. There should have been some arrows on the joystick to indicate what the FEL will do when put into various positions...
BTW, the 3 point question...I sort of floated a one point plow to do a light trench one time by releasing the top lever and letting the weight of the plow do the dig. It worked but I don't recommend it.
The 3 point float is still a question in my mind and I do have the manual to look it with and might just do that.
Good luck. It's fun to play on tractors, especially Orange ones.
An old timer JD guy lives next to me and one day, he was helping a neighbor 1/2 mile away, got his large JD stuck in the mud and pulled it out with another tractor, an L275 and towed it home with it. I wasn't able to get a picture but it was classic.
