    Front Axle Oil Level

    If you hadn’t already found it, look for one of these drain plugs (item-30) on each side:

    Rear Remotes, Top/Tail

    I just enjoy working on this stuff so decided to get the kits ordered in from Kubota and do it all myself, albeit slowly. I’m happily on Brian’s (Fit-Rite) waitlist for the two cylinders, but I’m looking forward to getting it all put together. I did notice the Kubota kits have all been updated...

    EverythingMoneyAttachments. All the money up front?

    You generally have 60 days to dispute a charge on your credit card statement, so definitely keep that in mind if you’re approaching that date while awaiting your delivery. I have an order in with EA myself (never had any issues before with them), and have a few days before the 60 day mark to...

    Box Blade Size for L3901 HST?

    Whichever one you do end up with, be sure the box blade will be wide enough to cover your tracks, especially in the event that you later may decide to widen the stance in the rear with spacers. I added 3” spacers to the rear of my 3301 (same foot print as yours) and have the 66” version from EA...

    L Series Compact Grapple Search - Twin Lid Model

    Amen to that—any grapple is better than no grapple (assuming the tractor can’t lift it when holding a twig, of course). I never did understand the nomenclature of Root Grapple vs Root-Rake Grapple—I’m sure the guys down in marketing were all over that🤗. I just preferred the bigger (non-Rake)...

    Quick-connect fittings

    I ran into the same issue as you (same configuration it looks like) and until I come up with a permanent fix, here’s my workaround using some hook and loop (Velcro) tape

    L Series Compact Grapple Search - Twin Lid Model

    That’s a great choice, given everything you laid out. I too wanted a double lid version and even though I went a little heavy at 60”/430# for an EA model (also am eyeballing down the road a slightly bigger tractor), it has done a great job for what I was looking to do with it. I’m very glad I...

    Kubota Transmission Filter & Fluid Change

    Pretty certain that 50hr service was not included with my purchase. That said, even if it had been, I would have still done it myself (with good record keeping, of course). I just don’t believe the (typically) new guys they’ve got doing this type of work are going to do it, “the way I would do...

    L3301 shutting off

    I sure haven’t seen any examples anywhere. In fact, I have now over 600hrs in three years and not one issue. I did take serious early on though, the recommendations of some pretty smart people on here to take care of my tractor’s diesel like Lt Dan told Forrest Gump to take care of his feet...

    How Can I Break It

    Congratulations on your acquisition! Certain ‘proclivities’ of the modern common-rail diesel engine make it particularly vulnerable to fuel of questionable moral fiber: Purchase quality diesel from a location that moves a bunch of it. Check your water separator often. Use a Mr Funnel fuel...

    Picture of your tractor on your trailer

    I’ve got a weight distribution hitch with a built-in scale from Weigh Safe for when I go long distances and heavy.

    HST "whine" getting louder L3301

    Some degree of whine is actually considered normal with these models. Certainly a big change not attributable to fluid level and quality should be investigated, but doesn’t seem warranted in this instance.

    HST "whine" getting louder L3301

    Got it—just a thought. Also, with my BH coming on and off all the time, I keep a pretty close eye on my fluid level as I’m always losing a little with the changeovers—that in and of itself makes mine a little more whiny if it’s running lower.

    HST "whine" getting louder L3301

    Are you seeing any difference whether you’re in Low/Medium/High with what you’re doing? Mine squeals like a big pig when I’m doing certain things in too ‘high’ a range (lugging my backhoe up a long hill).
