    Hydraulic line under tractor seems too long

    Looks like the LA481 was used on a few different tractors and your issue is on the tractor, not the loader. As others have said, it would likely be helpful to identify what tractor you’re dealing with. The tractor model should be on the hood and there should be an identification plate with the...

    Is a B2401 or L2501 too small...

    The two tasks I bolded above appear to me to be the most taxing. Brush usually isn’t what requires the most HP with a shredder, thick tall grass is usually what requires the most HP. for A 5’ shredder the L2501 should be adequate if you don’t mind going slowly through heavy tall grass. For the...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    I have a pair of Horses in the shed. They haven’t been run since my father quit using them 5 or 6 years ago. I suppose I really should find them a better home where they’d be appreciated.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Trimmed more dead branches off the trees around the houses and used the grapple to take several loads to the brush piles. Everything was within reach of the pole saw today.

    I’m pretty confident that’s a hen.

    Probably shouldn’t name the person quoted above, but I worked for him for about a year before I was able to escape.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Yeah, I don’t know why I waited so long to get the personnel basket. It was cheap and it’s been really nice for the exact stuff you listed. Some places just aren’t made for ladders. Yesterday there were a couple of limbs, no way I would have cut from a ladder for fear they would have fell such...

    Hydraulic top link

    Makes me glad my OEM remotes meet the acceptable definition. 🙂

    Hydraulic top link

    If that’s the case, and it probably is as both you and Brian have much more knowledge on the subject than I do, after several years of using a top/tilt with “excessively leaky valves” and no DPOCVs I have no idea why so many operators on this forum are adamant DPOCVs aren’t optional regardless...

    Rust

    Mechanical removal of scale (wire brush, needle scaler, etc.) then Ospho (phosphoric acid) for chemical stabilization to allow for painting. https://www.acehardware.com/departments/home-and-decor/cleaning-and-disinfectants/rust-removers/13868 That’s a general answer to a general question...

    Hydraulic top link

    All that stuff I said about my experience with the setup on my L is based on OEM valves for the remotes. If the valves had a higher leak rate, it would be a much different experience.

    Tire pressures for R14 tires with loader

    Third vote for above. Max per sidewall in fronts for loader work. 10 to 15 psi in rears regardless whether they have liquid ballast or not. The vast majority of both ride quality and traction is dependent on the rear tires. Lower pressure increases the ground to tire contact patch for better...
