    Need something on fel for more agressive help in picking up clay.

    The Piranha Toothbar from BXpanded is great. I have one on my L3301, and it has worked very well for me. Only problem is, if you need the toothbar immediately. BXpanded has a lead time of over a month. Jack

    BXpanded BH77 Backhoe Quick Attach Video Review

    Thanks for the review! I think I will struggle with the pins! The only thing I have bought from BXpanded is their toothbar. Although I am very happy with their toothbar, I was not pleased with their long lead time or their lack of response to emails. I enjoyed your video, it was objective...

    3901 HST transmission oil change

    Kubota recommends the filter only at 50 hours. You will find some people here that follow that; and others who cannot change a filter without changing the fluid. There is no right answer - but there are a lot of opinions! Jack

    Piranha Toothbar

    Hey Freewheeler, Since you are in their town, maybe you should run down to their shop and see what the holdup is. At least you can go pick up your item, if it ever gets finished! Hoping that you are next on the list! Jack

    Piranha Toothbar

    Actually, there are questions and answers about the toothbar. One of the questions is “what is the lead time?” When I ordered on April 20th - it said 3-5 days. Now it says 3 weeks. It has been 3 weeks, and I haven’t heard a thing. Emails do not get answered. I will be glad when I get the...

    Piranha Toothbar

    They do not respond to my emails. I don’t think anyone there even reads the emails. I have had a toothbar on order since April 20th. Three days ago, they changed the lead time in Q and As from 3-5 days to three weeks for a toothbar. Honestly, I asked them in an email if they wanted me to...

    Where does your tractor sleep?

    Right now, my tractor sleeps under the stars. She is wanting of a home to call her own, but the 20x30 shed she could be sleeping in collapsed with our 17” snowfall in December. She is stoic about shedding water and sunlight so far, but I would like to build or buy her a home. All in good...

    Just bought an L3301 with 250 hours, and it has a bent tie rod. So I would say yes; can definitely be an issue. Jack

    Warn Winch Install

    I have a 12,000 # Warn winch as well. It is a receiver mount, and can go on the front or back of my 2003 Dodge diesel PU. I would not use it with my Kubota unless I had it connected to a stand alone battery. Not worth the damage to the tractor electrical system for me. Jack

    BX23S TPL float

    Hi 34, If you mean how can you float the upper link - you can replace it with a piece of chain. That will allow it to float, yet limit it. I have done this when brush hogging rough terrain. Jack
