    Trailer Shopping

    I bought a 20 Ft. Kaufman full tilt trailer and absolutely love it. It makes loading the tractor a breeze. I attached the link to my you tube video of it in action. I highly recommend the full tilt trailer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7Px70qxOJA

    Replacing Tie Rod End Boot on Grand L Series Kubota Question

    Awesome diagram. Thanks a ton. My local dealer has 4 boots in stock. I may go ahead and buy all 4 since I'm sure I will be tearing more in the future.

    Replacing Tie Rod End Boot on Grand L Series Kubota Question

    Hey guys. I'm honestly not sure why Kubota didn't extend the boot shields on the L series tractors another 2 inches to protect these boots from being torn, but I have torn my left side boot on the tie rod end. I was hoping those guys that have replaced this boot could offer some advice or tips...

    Picked up my new L Grand 4060 HSTC today!!!

    With NC taxes out the door was $35,200 with free radio installed and rear work lights. MSRP was around $42k. Our taxes are around 7% so I think my price before taxes was around $32,900. I called 5 other dealers around me and this place had the best price by $1k. Paying in cash always helps...

    Did I fry my gearbox?

    Read my thread on John Deere Corn Head Grease. Man, I love this stuff for gear boxes now. What happened to you would not be possible using this corn head grease. Watch the you tube video as well if you get a minute. This stuff works. http://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=24374

    Installing LED Light Bar on Cab of Grand L. Install question?

    Yes, thank you for your reply. I found plenty of usable power up there once I removed the roof. Was much easier than I anticipated. I got my light bar installed on the front and I also installed a roof mounted LED amber flashing front/rear facing bar for added security when near roads. Very...

    John Deere Corn Head Grease. Opinions for gear lube?

    Hey guys. Had an issue with my 6' bush hog leaking gear oil out. I used standard 90wt gear lube in it. The bush hog is less than 1 month old. It's been used 4 times. Think it's a manufacture defect. Anyway, the company I bought it from is giving me a new one. After doing days of research on...

    $$ tractor hourly rate ?

    Does anyone have an example of what they get signed by the land owner prior to service? I like the part of flat tires extra. I had one last weekend at a job. Front tire, not rear thank God. I typically charge $60 per hour. Time starts when I leave the house until the tractor is loaded. 2 hr...

    Installing LED Light Bar on Cab of Grand L. Install question?

    Yeah, I have the front and rear work lights on my L4060. They are okay. The LED light bar truly turns night into day. I installed one on my L3200 previous tractor and man, what a difference. I made a you tube video of it in action. I linked it below if you'd like to check it out. I just wonder...

    Installing LED Light Bar on Cab of Grand L. Install question?

    Hey guys. Plan on installing a LED light bar on the front of my cab and a rear LED amber flashing hazard warning light on the rear. For those of you that own a tractor with a cab, is there already unused power for accessories in the roof area? Also, what is the easiest way to access this area...

    New Grand L 4060 Glow Plug not coming on

    Hey guys. I've had my new L 4060 now for almost a week. I've put about 12 hours on her this week bush hogging. My manual says when I turn the key on, the dash will show the glow plug symbol and when it disappears, I can start the engine. I haven't seen the glow plug light come on at all. I've...

    Sorry guys. Had a password issue. Was locked out for a few days. Anyway. Yes, my trailer has two 4k axels. I ordered a 10k GVWR trailer. Means I can now carry 7,600 lbs. Larger tires, stronger brakes, heavier trailer. Bitting the bullet and making the upgrade. I just hope after talking with...

    Tractor & Loader Weight...Too heavy for my trailer?

    Hey guys. Picking up my new L Grand 4060 HSTC Monday. The specs on the tractor weight are 4,134 lbs. I can't find the exact weight of the LA805 loader. I think it's around 1,400 lbs. With the rear tires holding 50 gallons of ballast which translates to around 800 lbs. That gives me a total...
