Yep, well said! :cool:

I use a box blade with extra weight added. Or a log skidder I made with wheel weights added. My 3800 does best with 800-1000 lbs on the 3 pt. Wheel weights and tire ballast are great for traction and stability, but do not take the place of a counter weight on the 3 pt hitch.

I certainly agree with that, especially about losing more than a gallon or two...

That will do it! If you're not goin to have weight on the 3 pt hitch, then take the loader off. If you need to use the loader put at least 500 lbs on the 3 pt, 800-1000 if any heavy loader work is goin to be done... Yes, the dealer needs to check both sides.

Nothing is Free! My dealer quotes a price, then knocks 10% off for cash... Not just a Kubota thang!

I drive all over my yard with Ag tires. It helps aerate the soil. :cool:

When I needed around $1200 worth of Kubota parts to rebuild the front end of our L3750, I checked around on line then went to the dealer, he gave me a 10% discount, no shipping & no sales tax for farm use, ended up a bit lower overall. :cool:

WD-40 or something similar. :cool:

You might have some bearing issues then. Are you using a loader with no counter weight on the 3 pt hitch? That will sure kill a front end!

Local to me is one hour away. Sometimes it's good to get out for a drive and look at new orange tractors. :D I also run my own business and do 85% of it on line...

I buy local whenever possible. Have also found prices are usually better.

I'm with ya man. I had to rebuild the front end on our L3750 because of too much loader work with no counter weight on the 3 pt. The tractor is heavy enough and safe, but it killed the front end. Now, if the loader is on the tractor, there will be counter weight on the 3 pt!

Yep, it's way past time for a service!!! Get Kubota SUDT2 oil and new filter. Might not be the problem though, maybe the lever is messed up and it's in neutral instead of high?

It's debatable, I don't think running in 4wd all the time causes that much more wear, but it does cause some. Worse is running around in 4wd with a loader full and no counter weight on the 3 pt hitch. Now that will kill the front axle components!

Welcome to the forum! :)

If any of the bearings were bad enough to effect camber, you'd be leaking oil. What you have here is a tropical delusion. ;)

Exact opposite here. 2wd 85% of the time and loader always off except when needed... I hate to mow with the loader on! Works Mo better for me... But both mine shift into & out of 4wd very easy... :cool:

No HST here! Gear drive... I've never had any trouble going from 2wd to 4wd, or back to 2wd.

Actually, I don't think the Hickorys here have that long of root, but we will see...

I tell ya what, my L3800DT with 600-800 lb on the 3 point hitch and loaded R1 tires will pull 2" Hickory trees out of the ground. No, I have not ever done it, but will give it a shot soon. :D
