I use a L3901 hst and a Land Pride 72" RTA tiller with no problems. I wouldn't buy a gear drive Tiller of any kind personally.

Thx for the guesses Ha Ha. Fuel and oil good. Flat road. I guess the knock wasn't a fast like high speed knock/rattle. It kinda stayed constant but got louder with an rpm increase. until is slowly went away. I'm away from the tractor for a few weeks but when I get back hopefully there is...

2018 l3901. 469hrs. Always inside. Today goin down the road 2500rpm ish. I hear a small knock that becomes quite noticeable. I slow up head back to yard. No codes. Shut off a few times and start still there. After bit of putting around noise fades to only higher rpm’s 2000 plus. Now it seems...

If I was me or anybody else greasing ur front axle center pivot. I’d lift the front end so the axle actually hangs with a floor jack etc. Then grease it. Other wise ur really only greasing the bottom part of the pivot. All the weight is on the top and the grease has a hard time getting to the...

I would just put on a Silicon oil pan heater. Easy and they work great.

This could go in new buying but I'm Looking for reviews/issues on the 1140. Not looking for speed of course. How do You like your 1140 from owners that have had one for several years. Problems etc. and stuff that's note worthy that if you had known might have affected your decision to buy...

Just for some more info on regen and operating rpm check out this video John Deere has. It should help clear up the rpm/dpf regen times maybe.

Don’t plan any 2 foot deep water crossings. It may seep on a big hill. It’s not goona be perfect but in the long run it may help the seals by not pressuring up the axle. It’s just for my tractor. Do what u wish for urs.

Trying this vent plug out. See how it works. Not supposed to be an issue with axle not vented but I use tractor -35 to 30c so it may be a benefit over time for leaking seals.

Since this is a oily thread. Lotsa concern over DPF and longevity before servicing (plugged requiring a cleaning/replacement). Has anybody Used or looked into Chevron Delo 600 ADF? They are CK-4 approved oil and claim they are ulta low ash which is what contributes most to a plugged DPF over...

Just a thought. For a gear transmission the tranny is somewhat warming up because it’s turning with the engine at idle. For a Hydro if you where really concerned about loosening it up you could put the range selector in neutral, brakes on. Then if you were comfortable making a seat safety...

FYI. In 35yrs of diesels in tractors and 4 yrs with VW Jetta TDI I've never added anything to the diesel fuel. -40 to +35 C. We must just have the best fuel here in the Canadian Prairies. Never had an issue with pump or bulk fuel. Tractors using outside storage tank too.

The problem I had was I couldn't get my arms wide enough for a couple implements because the arms would hit the the tires. They were very close to rubbing too when using a couple implements . Pats quick hitch solved the problem and also made it a lot easier to hook up implements. Then u can...

Easiest way for a block heater install is a silicone stick on oil pan heater. Search besco pads. There are different brands available. low power consumption, easy install most of the time and your oil is warm.

Well when you have a tiller that covers your tracks it does a nicer job. No matter the soil. My soil is only 2ft lush. It also depends on your tractor size and weight your little BX isn't that heavy so you don't have the compaction that an 3901 will have. Just my opinion, buy wide enough to...
