    Any L3301 Recommendations?

    I have L3200 and L3901, both HST, it was important to me to have around 25pto hp as a lot of attachments recommended this as minimum HP. I priced a L3301 but it was not a lot extra to go to L3901, so I went for the L3901. recommend loaded rear tires, front 3rd function hydraulics and 2 sets of...

    Obvious? watch out for ebay ballast box quality/functionality.

    It’s good to explain the difference in the products, because cheaper is not always the same. As you say by the time you replace the pins and fit them if you want a Cat 1 version, it’s more or less the same cost as a Titan model. Titan normally has a reddish orange model on sale too. I have 2 of...

    3560le or 4701?

    If you are mainly looking for lift capacity and your budget will stretch to a MX5400, I would strongly recommend it. I have a MX5800 and do most of my lifting with that machine. You will find the increased capacity over your current L2501 to be night and day. I often feel my L3901 loader lift...

    Grill Guard

    A lot of my tractor use is woodland, including grapple work. It's very easy to get damage from branches or timber on the ground, recently put a hole in the floor of my Ranger side by side from a stick laying on the track, tire flipped it up and it came through the floor! I just fitted a grill...

    Kubota Response to Questions

    I think these are difficult questions for an OEM because it’s like you are asking them to tell you when things will fail. Your question is a complex one as wheel spacers involve a lot of other dynamics, like load, what are you doing with them etc. Put yourself in their position, it’s about...

    L8430 stabilizer kit ???

    I fitted these to my L3200 and L3901, this was the best modification I made, they make mounting attachments so much easier, then they are very quick to set the attachments, they have a slotted hole which can be used if you do not want to tighten things up tight. Easy to fit and replace the...

    2021 Updated BX 2680

    You need to go through a dealer for Land Pride pricing. BB0548 is $799 and BB1248 is $665 at my local dealer. Not sure if that makes sense! Shop around and compare similar products. I would go with the BB12 if you buy Land Pride as weight helps.

    Kubota ST-30 (UK/IE) Buying Advice

    Luke, Welcome to the forum, this was an interesting model as it was built on a chassis, most are over 20 years old. I think main advice is to make sure all the key mechanical items function as they should, steering, 3pt lift, pto etc. I’m amazed at some of the prices these sell for. I’m...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Old Paint, great humor in your report on the 50 hour service, some people just get upset and have no humor. I was surprised how tight that oil filter was with surrounding items. I can tell you if you buy bigger tractors you don’t have that issue. Like you I had to learn replacing hydraulic...

    Need Flail Mower Recommendations

    I agree that rear remotes are a cost and that if you use the flail in open areas you don’t need the hydraulic offset. Good luck making your selections.

    L3400 Valve Stem Size?

    It is my understanding that valve stem diameter should be 0.453” or .625” these are the standard in North America for nearly all applications, there are different valves depending on pressure levels. This is the hole size in the rim.

    Need Flail Mower Recommendations

    Hobbit Habits, If you are looking at their WM-8 chipper please buy the WM-8H model with the hydraulic auto feed, they have a twin infeed roller system that is available at little extra cost, it is such an important feature. I spend days using my chipper and can only comment that you really need...

    Need Flail Mower Recommendations

    hobbit habits, I would like to comment that I’ve had great experience with WoodMaxx both in terms of buying their equipment and going back for service and support. It is one of the few attachment companies that answer their phone with a helpful human on the other end. I own a MX9900 Chipper, a...

    I wonder if I can return it ... and exchange it for something better.

    Congrats on the new box blade order, as I was reading down the thread I was about to share that I use an 84" wide heavy box blade on my MX5800 and that it is a great tool, the MX handles this size really well. I have a Woods HB84, it is an amazing tool for keeping my 6 miles of woodland trails...

    Land pride box blade

    I agree that weight can be one of the important factors when using a box blade. Like you I like the Woods models, I found Woods very pricey in my area and ended up with a Bush Hog SBX600 (60" wide) for my L series tractor, it weighs 490 lbs, the Woods 60" box blade was listed at 514 lbs.
