    L series frame sizes

    There seem to be a lot of differences between a L3300 and L4200, length, width, wheel base and tons of other things. I would not buy this backhoe unit due to all of these differences and the fact that the manufacturer does not list your tractor as suitable. Move on and find a good fit. Good luck...

    Pallet Fork Modification

    Your photo makes the inner plate look like it’s a at an angle, bad fabrication? If you can do the work yourself and have time it should be worth doing the correction. I hope you got a deal on the purchase. good luck sorting things out.

    My first 50 hr maintenace

    When just replacing the hydraulic filter I drive my tractor up 2 ramps on one side so it is at an angle. I only leak a small amount of fluid, more or less what was in the filter. Harbor freight have a low cost pair of plastic ramps, the 7-8” height works well. As others comment, have your new...

    Help guess weight of tractor/attachments

    I can see why a landscape trailer did not last. You need an equipment trailer, 10,000 or 14,000 lbs rating should work. I see only $600 difference in a new trailer in my area between the two capacities of trailers. The other issue is what are you towing with? I’ve had several PJ equipment...

    ROPs Carry All Basket

    Fitted my basket yesterday on my L3200. This is a great addition and allows me to carry chainsaw, gas can, bar oil and other tools. My land is mainly woodland, always need a saw on board, I just ordered another basket and will do the same mod on my L3901. I’m using a 37.5” wide basket from...

    Quick Hitch

    What you need are the kubota telescoping stabilizer bars. They are a godsend and make attaching and using attachments easier. I fitted them to my L3200 and L3901. Google them, about $200 pair and 30 minutes to fit. good luck

    Limb trimmer suggestions

    That's a lot of acreage and potentially a lot of work. Sometimes you just have to buy an attachment and try it. Sometimes they work great and are real keepers and sometimes they don't work like you thought and that's what Craigslist is for. My key concern would be the 1" limit, it takes me...

    Limb trimmer suggestions

    You did not comment on the volume of cutting or the length of drive or trails. I manage just over 5 miles of trails and try to keep overhanging limbs cut. I have tried all sorts of attachments but find the best efficiency comes with a small light chainsaw or an extending pole chain saw...

    Kubota KX033

    The only thought that comes to mind is the lock lever being correctly sensed as in the unlock position. Lock lever is the lever on left hand side that you push forward after getting into the vehicle. Make sure it is fully down. Good luck with your issue

    RCK60B-23bx gearbox

    Maybe you have a RCK60B-22BX, take a look at this diagram online. It is slightly different to the model you mentioned. It would be helpful to see a photo of your unit. In either case you are removing the oil seals to access the circlip retainer rings, it looks like you will have to drop the...

    3 point finish mower

    Yes you can mow in reverse with a RFM. I use one for some work but it is not a quality lawn that I cut. I have a Brush Hog RDTH-72 it's a nice unit and cuts real well.

    ROPs Carry All Basket

    Re: ROPs Carry All Basket for L3200 RDB thanks for sharing this. This is a great idea. I just ordered my basket 37.5” wide from Summit Racing $104 inc. delivery and found square U bolts with end plates at Menards for $1.60 each, I’m fitting this on my L3200 but may add the same to my other...

    installing winch

    That's a good recommendation to look at 3pt log skid winch manufacturers. When I was looking a couple of years back to buy one I had a list of manufacturers, here they are: Balfor Erskine Farmi Fransgard Hud-son Norwood Tajfun Uniforest Wallenstein

    installing winch

    Hi, I do quite a bit of log skidding with my Kubota MX5800 and a Farmi JL351P 3pt log skidding winch. If I was looking at fabricating a winch I would strongly go for a frame that went on the 3pt for 2 key reasons: 1. Thats where the tractor has been designed to have the load and work stress...
