    Getting worried about my purchase.

    Bought my used 2018 L3901 with 58 hours on it in March. Dealer had just completed the 50 hour service. In a handful of months, I now have 178 hours on it. Only "problem" I had was not being able to hook up the hydraulics on my grapple one hot day. Folks here taught me how to relieve pressure...

    Problems with Grapple

    I found mine would automatically operate when the switch got wet (I dropped my bucket while carrying it with the grapple to load the tractor on my trailer). BUT, it only did it when the keyswitch was on. Something must be different between our setups.

    Going crazy over emissions!!

    I wouldn't hesitate to get the higher HP tractor if that's what's needed on your property. I recently bought a used 2017 L3901 HST with 58 hours on it. I now have over 170 hours on it. I run it at PTO speed pretty much all the time. Most hours are mowing, but I also use the front end loader...

    L2501 owners, What RPM's do you run?

    L3901 - I pretty much always run everything at PTO speed. I have the HST transmission, and this seems to give me good speed control, etc. Also, DPF regens seem to come off without a hitch, without my having to interact at all. Would be interesting to see a dyno chart to see where max...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    I'm a 59 year old kid, normally riding single track on big dirt bikes (Husky FE501) and backroads/forest roads on an adventure bikes (Yamaha Super Tenere). Had always wanted to ride more technical stuff at a speed that I might not kill myself when I go down. It's a Beta EVO 300 4T, and a lot...

    Two Schools of Thought

    Option 1. I don't let others use my tractor, but I am happy to go help them out with it.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    That wouldn't be me! I also do mostly woods/singletrack on a Husky FE501 and Adventure riding on a Yamaha Super Tenere. The tractor is also helping me lay out a 2 mile single track loop on my property.

    Unloading tractor from Trailer causes accident in PA

    I hate it when that happens. When I picked up my L3901, as the dealer was loading it, it almost raised the rear of my truck off the ground. Before I unloaded it at home, I built some blocks out of 6x6's with a 2x10 on the top and bottom. Problem solved.

    L3901 and L3301

    Interesting. I had a similar experience last week. Was mowing an 8 acre section of my property when I noticed a large gray object laying in the next pass of grass (not yet mowed pass). Got off and found a drawbar. I thought the previous property owner must have lost his when mowing. Later...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    New to me 2017 L3901 that I've put about 50 hours on in the past 3 weeks that Ive owned it. Filled about 100 holes left by pulling trees, and mowed about 5 of my 34 acres before they rain shut me down.

    I hate my new L3901

    Thanks. I'll just keep running it at 2500 rpm. Seems to work well for the mowing, FEL and grapple work I do. Awesome tractor - has opened up a whole new world for what I can do to enjoy my property.

    I hate my new L3901

    Just bought a used 2017 L3901 HST with 58 hours on it about 3 weeks ago. Now have about 105 hours. I have not noticed mine doing a regen, but I haven't really been looking for it. I have just been running the tractor for all work (bush hogging, front end loader work, grapple work, etc) at the...
