I just purchased a 2004 L5030 GST it came with the following attachements
L853 loader,L7576A gannon box,AMH TL1765 forklift 42", Construction Att Cal73 4-1 bucket, the standard 72" Kubota Orange bucket and an older disk harrow. So what I want to know is I know have a good tractor with a lot of good impliments but I can't seem to find too much info here on this model. Did I buy an orphen???
Bye the way I am liking this site lots of good general info//Thanks

Sorry I can't comment on your tractor or most of your implements, but Gannon makes some excellent products. I have an old Gannon earthcavator that is the cat's ass. Pulls dirt, pushes dirt and digs into the ground nicely, all in one unit. Solid construction too. Just add some weight.

I have a 2003 L5030 HSTC and know several people on another forum who own them. I bought mine used with 735 hours and now have 1300. I really like it.

I pull a Land Pride RCR2672 cutter and BB2584. I wish I had a heavy duty Gannon though.

You have various service intervals at 50, 100, 200 and at 400 with valve adjustment at 800. Your Intelipanel should come on at 50 hour intervals.

At your upcoming 400 hours, you will change all fluids and filters, adjust front axle pivot, grease and so on. I am attaching a link to the L40 Series service which is similar, covers HST, but not GST, you can order an operator manual from your local dealer or check online at Messick's.

Thanks for all the info, I am wating to get the operation manual from the previous owner. I do like to scan different blogs and get all the info I can about ant problems they may have had and any tips on operation..I also have a 1960's case backhoe and it is a real pia to operate I have come into the modern age with the 5030//

Prior to buying my L5030 HSTC, I posted on another forum for advice from owners and the only issue mentioned was a weak AC. I had mine serviced prior to delivery and they pulled the top off and found the evaporator needed to be cleaned out. I had to recharge the system my first year and it keeps me pretty cool. It won't freeze me out, but it works well if you keep the RPMs up and screens cleaned. Occasionally on a really hot day, I turn from drawing in outside air to recirculate and it makes a real difference.

We have an old Case back hoe too we used for a few years; lots of difference.

No AC on this, no cab just the top to keep the sun off, but it is good to hear looks like I have a dependable rig //
