    2012 L4240hstc-3 cold start concern

    I don't think your dealer is being honest or perhaps not knowledgeable. My L4060 starts really well after the glow plug light goes out, with only some vapor emitting from the exhaust. Engine is smooth. Change out the relay and let us know if it runs / starts better.

    Kubota Grand L 60 series LED work light bulbs?

    Well guys, 3 hours later I have the H3 HID conversion done on the front work lights of my L4060. I had to rewire things a bit and did have to remove the cab roof in order to access space to locate the ballasts / igniters. Anyway, the results are spectacular I think. The lights ignite dimly and...

    Hst parking

    Re: Hst Unless I'm on an incline, I just get off without applying the brake. Keep in mind it is easier for the tractor to roll in the higher ranges.

    Looks thicker than vapor, more like some unburned fuel smoke. Once you get it running for a minute or two, does it smooth out and the smoke goes away?

    Grand L 60 Cruise Control Operation

    Thanks. I just assumed it would be 'smart' enough to hold the RPMs generated by the foot pedal. No big deal, cruise would be used with a PTO implement anyway which would require manual throttle.

    Zaicran, maybe you have already seen this, but here is another member with the same machine as you. No rotary cutter, but a backhoe which is even heavier. Nice PJ tailer.

    Grand L 60 Cruise Control Operation

    So, still playing around a little with my one week old L4060, up to 3 hours now! Anyway, if I'm using auto-throttle and cruising along with my speed around 5-6mph, I hit the cruise control button all the way forward and down...the cruise screen briefly appears, showing what percentage i'm...

    2012 L4240hstc-3 cold start concern

    First off, an L3560 has a DPF and should *NEVER* smoke. That said, many people confuse exhaust vapor with smoke. Vapor occurs because the gases flowing out of the pipe are much warmer than the ambient air and contain condensation moisture from inside the exhaust, and so you see the whitish...

    Kubota Grand L 60 series LED work light bulbs?

    I ordered the H3 HID lights and ballasts. Hopefully they fit in the housings.

    What is the DT for the L3901DT?

    Kubota's current financing deal is 0% and $0 down. Basically impossible beat...you don't need to put down a cent.

    Kubota Grand L 60 series LED work light bulbs?

    Looks great. I guess I'm a purist and want to retain the stock fixtures.

    Kubota Grand L 60 series LED work light bulbs?

    Actually, I may have found a solution - an HID conversion for H3 bulbs. Diode Dynamics offers the kit - includes the bulbs and ballasts - for $150. Light output is 3200 lumens, compared to the 400 or less the stock H3's generate. The question is whether the slightly longer bulb can fit in the...

    If that's your preference and you already have the setup, then go for it. I like pulling a gooseneck as well, but bumper pull does have it's place.

    L3901

    We'll probably get in trouble for talking politics on a tractor forum, but I agree with you completely.

    L3901

    Lol, sounds like you live in a good area. The thing with the spacers is you can always add them later if you find you need them, even after the tires are filled.

    L3901

    Do you guys get snow out there in Snowflake? Interesting history in the naming of your town, I see Sen. Jeff Flake is apparently related to the founder. On a side note, I cannot begin to understand why Flake, is so opposed to Trump. But back to the task (tractor) at hand, spacers are pretty...

    Kubota Grand L 60 series LED work light bulbs?

    The worklights are standard H3 halogen bulbs, 12V / 35W. There is a 55w option you can buy at the parts store; however my concern would be additional heat in the housing AND available alternator power to run them. Without the high-output alternator option, you have 60A, which translates to...

    L3901

    They may not be, depending upon the kind of terrain you operate on. Flat or mostly flat, the standard width is fine. Kubota themselves offer a 1" wheel spacer for your model. Bro-Tek offers 1,2, and 3" spacers. For me, I operate on side hills fairly frequently and do not want my tractor to flip...

    L3901

    A 60" rotary cutter is fairly small - I ran a 60" on the L2501 I had. Same size tractor as yours, but with a lot less horsepower. You could run a 72" without trouble. I recommend wheel spacers if you are operating on sidehills. I purchased Bro-Tek (made in Canada, aluminum) spacers for my...
