    switching between bar and turf tires....

    In my opinion it won’t make it harder to steer but could leave tire marks when you turn especially if you turn in a hurry or too sharp. I believe wolfman is saying to keep it in 4wd so that the rear tires don’t spin when it’s wet. I would assume you’ve cut your lawn more than once by now, hows...

    switching between bar and turf tires....

    I can’t answer your rim question but are you mowing in “4 wheel drive” or with the front wheelsengaged? I mow with my L3800/ R4 tires and the only time I notice them messing up my yard is when I forget to disengage the fronts. Also, do you take off your FEL?

    L2501 acts like it's starving for fuel

    Although, I don’t have this model I’m curious if this fixed the problem as well. Also wondering if this might be the problem that beaterboss had with his causing him to trade it in on a different tractor, take a look at the “ Ive had ENOUGH” thread.

    Is Kubota credit sketchy?

    I set up the auto pay and had the kubota insurance. Paid it off about a month early with no issues at all. Apparently I paid a few bucks extra as they sent me a check for 3 bucks or something like that. Also received a payoff letter pretty quick after the last payment was made. I would also...

    Storms tonight, and more coming.

    We are down in Oxford MS for a wedding and woke up too tornado sirens at 5am. It’s a little scarier when you don’t know the surrounding area or where exactly your at located on the map verses being at home. I guess that’s one good thing about a smart phone with a weather app. Haven’t ventured...

    A different quick hitch

    I’ve been using a cheap quick hitch from rural king for at least four years and it’s holding up well. After buying the top link that alleyoopper suggested it made life a whole lot easier. I do have to get off the tractor to attach the top and to adjust the top link if nessessary but it’s so much...

    One liners that we still use today.......

    You’ll have that, on a big job. A few bricks shy of a load. Not the brightest bulb in the box.

    L3800 Under Armor

    Nice work... I broke the fuel filter off working in heavy brush. Had looked into building a guard for it but never got around to it.

    It’s a glorious day!!

    Thanks fellas. She isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. I called about the Kubota insurance a couple months ago. I believe she said it would be $235 a year.?? Thats from memory so I might be off a few dollars but that’s close. I haven’t called my insurance agent yet. The lady I talked to said it...

    It’s a glorious day!!

    Just made the last payment on my L3800,woohoo!!! I’d have to look at the hours but she still runs like a top. I’ve enjoyed every minute of operating time I’ve put on it. Wish I would have got one many years earlier. So if you’re on the fence about buying one and can afford it, go for it

    Happy Thanksgiving

    Happy turkey day too all and good luck to those that have to travel. I smoked a turkey and carved it with a knife I made recently. Made it out of an old file, the handle ended up being more difficult than shaping the steel. Hoping the next one turns out a better.

    mowing vs landscaping tractors. Do I need 2 tractors?

    I’m all for the one tractor idea. Maybe if I were retired, had money to burn and didn’t mind doing maintaince on two machines it would be different. As much as I love working with my kubota, I have other interest that I like to spend time doing. With that said, and I’ve said all this in here...

    Looking @1 tractor.. advise.

    Buy the used L or a new L series with a FEL, front end loader. Learn to fell a tree the proper way, I’m sure there’s plenty of YouTube videos on how to do it. Never heard of using a the bucket to push on a tree while I’m cutting it. I’ve used ropes before to help guide the tree to land in a...
