    L1801DT front axle / diff oil change ?

    Seems like your approach was good, my 3 tractors all have an inspection / level hole about at the center of the axle.

    Shell Rotella T6, 0W-40, $5.95 Advanced Auto

    I agree with RCW, most Kubota manuals recomend SAE10W-30 (very cold areas) or SAE 15W-40.

    B2601, recommended options?

    Tim, It's exciting getting a new tractor and I think you are wise to reach out and ask for input. I have to say I have purchased 3 Kubota tractors, a Kubota track loader & a Kubota Excavator. I have never purchased a Land Pride attachment from a dealer and in fact have never purchased any...

    does buying a tractor work like buying a car?

    Welcome to the forum. There is no title, registration or insurance requirement unless you finance it. Pricing is variable and will be different depending on cash buy or maybe 0% financing. Lowest price in my experience is cash buy. Sometimes there are manufacturers incentives but not currently...

    Kubota L3301 won't turn over

    I had an issue a few months ago with my L3900 where the pto was not disengaging, follow the pto cable under the tractor, find the linkage under the tractor, make sure things are fully in the off position, lube the cable and shaft and coil spring under tractor. Sorry for non technical terms, will...

    Bedder-Hiller source

    Take a look at Heavy Hitch, not 3pt, you can configure the attachment as needed. A lot depends on garden size and what you do for prep work on the ground. Everything Attachments has some nice heavy 3pt versions...

    Another B2601 Thread - They all have different aspects....

    RCW, I'm not sure other members can advise you on the way to go. If you can afford it and enjoy what you have, my advice would be go for it. I have a lot of equipment and enjoy all my time I get to use any of it. Sometimes it's a lifestyle choice and it's about what makes each one of us...

    Can't find a B2601, is the B2601 the right pick.

    Doc, Your grapple and chipper are excellent choices. I'm curious as to why you ordered the 48" wide rear rotary cutter, on paper your tractor has a 49" wide track, a lot of people order the next size up from the tractor track assuming you have enough HP at the PTO, I would assume that a B2601...

    Dealer Distance/Issues

    I have to believe that dealers are inundated with email and telephone calls for pricing, discounts and deals on tractors and equipment. Personally I believe that you are much better to make an appointment and meet face to face. Explain that you are local and that you want to see the dealership...

    UTV for spraying setup

    Parts appear to be readily available for the pre 2014 Suzuki and Daihatsu Hijet. The Suzuki appears to be the most common truck made and imported. Pre 2014 because the suspension lift kit is less than $200 and easy to fit and there is a lot of clearance to fit 23 x 8 x 12 off road tires, after...

    UTV for spraying setup

    Ken, I have a very large hunting property, current UTV and ATV are all too loud, these mini trucks are extremely quiet, I plan to use one to take several older family members to their hunting blinds, they have been on the road for decades in other countries and are super reliable. when I...

    UTV for spraying setup

    I also use a Polaris Ranger 900 with a 60 gal Demco skid tank for spraying, it carries it well. I'm not a fan of the belt and clutch drive of these Rangers for real heavy work. I'm seriously considering a Japanese Mini Truck for off road utility use on my land, there are many used older low...

    Surprises from reading manual

    I'm with BruceP I learn something every time I read the manual! I'm embarrassed to say that I have a Kubota compact track loader with high flow, the joystick operation of the hydraulics is quite complicated, had to read the manual several times, my dealer showed me how to turn on the hydraulics...

    Woodland Mills WC-68 or WoodMaxx TM-8H or WoodMaxx WM-8H

    Old Paint, delivery to work and then take home on the trailer is a great solution, I do it all the time. Then you will have all the time you want to get it off the trailer. Trailer is much lower than big truck bed. Good luck with your new chipper.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Got some fresh air today in Northern Michigan, started clearing a new woodland food plot. This photo is one of 7 wood piles and brush piles. I will be back with the L3901 with the grapple to load the cut wood into a trailer, then the chipper to get rid of the brush. The track loader will make...

    Canopy. Are they good to have or not?

    You mention hitting branches with your rops, I run my tractors mainly in a woodland setting most of the year and I had a canopy on one tractor, it’s great for field work in the summer, which for me is maybe 6 weeks, then I have to remove the canopy as I’m mainly in the woods and a canopy is a...

    Pallet Fork Grapple

    I’d buy a separate full grapple rather than use the forks, you will find the grapple so much easier to operate and be efficient. I just purchased a smaller 60” wide grapple at MTL attachments for under $1,000 delivered for my L3901, they have many models at this price point and cheaper. In my...

    Plate Compactor for Compact Tractor?

    The vibratory roller link above is a skid steer item and is not for a tractor due to weight and hydraulic flow. This is one of those jobs that’s not for your compact tractor, keep using your small machine or if a big project find someone with something more suitable. I have an old Case 450 dozer...

    Woodland Mills WC-68 or WoodMaxx TM-8H or WoodMaxx WM-8H

    I lifted a Woodmaxx 9900 from my pick up (same weight) with my L3901 with a LA525 using a set of UA 42” pallet forks, chipper on a pallet. The loader is at its very maximum capacity and will only lift with revs very high. I could only lift it a couple of inches, I consider it dangerous, I don’t...

    Pallet Attachment

    I was looking for an inexpensive grapple to use on my L3901 and came across MTL attachments, I just purchased a nice 60” unit with 2 separate top lids for less than $1,000 delivered, they offer a selection of designs in that price range. The one I selected is specifically not so deep or heavy as...
