Supposed to be some type of alcohol mix in these tires. One frozen, one not? Been way below normal here for the last week or so. Third winter for this rig and this is a first... Guess I'll pull it into the shop tomorrow to thaw...

I haven't used any in 30 years and never had any problems...

I've never had a problem with mine... But I don't have the HST pedal that is usually the culprit... :cool:

I bet bad battery or connection.

I have a buddy in central Florida who is still running air conditioning! :cool: Almost a week here of way below normal temps. We are burning a lot of wood in the stoves!

I agree to the use UDT2 if the tractor has HST and or FEL. But the is a very old gear drive with no loader. 80w gear oil is what I'd put in it.

No idea why yours acts that way, but I never go uphill in reverse. :confused:

Are you letting it warm up, or fire it up and hit the pedal? Could be a safety switch fouled up?

And it is a Fine tractor. Think the OP just wants a larger rig.

Very Nice! Great choice, especially the DT part! :D I probably would have got a L4600DT, but my dealer didn't have them yet and I got too good a deal on the L3800DT to pass. I'm still impressed with the little rig!!! You want at least 1000 lbs on the 3 pt hitch for any loader work. Loaded...

My old L245 used 80W in the trans and didn't have a suction screen. If yours doesn't have a loader, run 80w, that is likely what's in it. Like said give it the sniff test. If it does have a loader and the loader uses the trans oil, change it out to SUTD. Some had a separate oil tank for the...

It's not a common problem. Maybe just bound up from being in 4wd or something? My L3800 did it a couple times when new, but not since.

HST pedal is the culprit most likely. I never heat plugs more than 10 seconds. Your tractor will last many, many more years if it's covered! The sun will do as much damage as the rain and ice. Please cover it, too nice a tractor to leave out in the elements!

Yes, I always start PTO at low rpm, idle. No, it should not stall.

0 here this morning, 8" of snow. Too early for this type of weather here in southern Missouri! We walk & drive on the snow, so no tractor work for me for awhile...

Good point about the tires, Wolfman! It could have wrong size front or back, R1 & R4 mix match? This might not have been a problem until the weight of the FEL was added & all that weight is felt by the front axle.

Yeah, I wouldn't use baling wire, I'd tear in and fix it.

Never had that problem? Might be some type of adjustment in the sift linkage? Make sure you have a good bit of counter weight (500lbs+) on the 3 pt hitch when using that new loader. Tire ballast is good, but not the same..

I screwed up, mine has 9.5 x 16 fronts. Sorry... 14.9 x 24 rear & 9.5 x 16 front.

Water in tractor tires in central Florida ain't goin to ever freeze! :cool:
