    What old implement does your Kubota pull??

    Yes it does. It would count as double points if you had two old buddies in a garden cart. I'm hoping to have an old Tom come weds in my garden cart heading to house. I could carry him but it's a good excuse to get new toy out

    Running 5' tiller

    Thanks again. My owners and service manual will be in in a week or so. I know my little ford diesel 1998 gt75 will not even think of starting when's it's below zero and it doesn't have a block heater. In fact nothing but the case skid loader with the Kubota 4 banger starts without being plugged...

    Running 5' tiller

    Thanks I appreciate the help. I'm a big maintenance guy so I will be finding this system and installing it. I believe there is a difference in using your equipment fully and beating the hell out of it until it breaks. I looked for a drain on radiator. Couldn't find one so I assume I'll be taking...

    Running 5' tiller

    Yeah thanks for the advice. I just went back to basics when it puttered out. Crank and crack ........ Until it starts. Where did you find that dual filter element. I googled it and couldn't find a place that sold them. Do you just use the basic green then. I know some things need the gold stuff??

    Need to purchase new starter for L2600DT

    I second stubblye. I found a local guy at car quest that does it in his spare time. I've had him do diesel truck starters for $50 with new brushes and solenoid. Around $80 for complete alternator rebuild on a pickup. I'd check some local " hole in wall" garages. The more old junk outside the...

    Running 5' tiller

    Yeah I was waiting on my manuals to do the coolant flush. I didn't know what coolant type to use or how much to buy. As far as bleeding the lines my 1838 case skid loader has a 55hp Kubota In it and it has a little lift pump with priming lever on it. I found the lift pump but no lever on the...

    Bought a 2005 L3400 HST today...

    I was in same boat on my new to me l3000dt. Went to local dealer $22 for owners manual $78 for shop manual. I would recommend getting a shop manual. I have one for every piece of equipment I own in filing cabinet. The older stuff gets the harder they are to find. I'd love to have one for my 806 case

    Running 5' tiller

    Sorry in advance I'm sure this has been asked before but the search function is not allowing me to type. I recently purchased a l3000dt with a kk 5' tiller. How long can you run one of these without damage? Just wondering because my neighbor wants me to plow and till a 2 acre pumpkin patch for...

    L3000dt fluid advice and service interval

    I'd like to start out by thanking all the members here who have been a great help already. I recently purchased a 2003 l3000dt with 225 hrs on it. I like to know when my service was done so I greased everything and checked all fluids. I'm curious as too what oil, transmission and coolant you...

    Now this just ticks me off

    In my opinion, you didn't ask to borrow. You asked to rent. So why would it matter. You as a customer are paying for a service and device. You sound like you have a stealership. That's one of the reasons I sold my newer gmc diesel and stuck with ford. I got treated better bringing a 14 yr old...

    Buying Advice - L3000 DT

    I am pretty new to forum as well. I just bought a l3000dt with 204 hrs and some implements for $10,000 but according to members. Stole it. These guys should chime in soon they were more than helpful with my purchase. I'd try for 10k as tires will run you a grand most likely and 4x4 with turf...

    Emissions DPF Question

    I would really like to see a dpf delete kit with may e a ECM flash to fool it. Like the ones on trucks the Feds are having a fit over. I deleted all emissions off my 05 duramax and 00 powerstroke. I would think one of these little tractors would be a bit easier.

    Digging with a loader

    Sorry for your loss. I absolutely love my old heeler/pitbull mix. I'm very new to compact tractors and Kubota but from my exp installing high line towers all over country. I've ran and still run some very exspensive equipment some upwards of $500k and digging with a loader no matter whether...

    Emissions DPF Question

    My 2010 f550 will flat choke you too death when regenerating the dpf. It smells like burning asphalt shingles. I hate the new diesel emissions stuff. I sold my new duramax and bought a 2000 f250 and completely rebuilt the thing for a daily driver. I was only running around 375hp in new duramax...

    Pricing question for L3130

    I don't know about va but with the new tier 4 crap my dealer is very slim on used tractors and 0 2013 new models. They generally keep 30-40 new compacts and 15-20 70hp+ around as well as 30-40 used. No one around here wants the emissions crap and are paying a premium for a non tier 4 model. I...
