I like the ratchet type better myself, but the only time I trailer mine is when my buddy needs me to do work for him and its his set up with the break overs and his trailer, so I just go with it. We do seem to be able to get it pretty tight and I've not noticed any looseness in the chain when...

I don't recall exactly how many hours but wolfman is right, it depends on what your doing. I can tell you that the tank holds a majority of the fuel toward the top of the tank. So the gauge doesn't reflect the actual amount of fuel in the tank. Wait until it shows half a tank on the gauge and...

I stopped by a coworkers friends house after work yesterday and his L3800 with only 8hrs on it makes the same noise as mine. Ford man says it's the over run thing, still curious what that is exactly. Anyway thanks Mike!

What's the over run thing?

Not that I want to get into a HST VS Gear debate, but it does appear to be something to that, according to the responses so far. Thanks

Thanks fellas!

Thanks, that's exactly the same situation I have. Ill keep you posted with any addition information I get.

Thanks for the reply, there is another dealer that I'll try and get by as soon as i can. A I said, you can only hear it at very low rpm. Also I should be able to listen to another model tomorrow. Thanks again. Funny side note, I recorded a video with my phone trying to capture the sound...

Thanks for the reply, I did look to see if they had another tractor like mine or the L3400 on hand but they did not. A coworker of mine has a friend with the same model and I'm going to listen to his on Thursday or Friday. I try to never assume and it did come across as them trying to get me...

It's hard to describe a sound but I have a rattle or slight ticking when the pto is engaged. I can only hear it at very low at low RPM's. It's coming from around or below the PTO area. I know this is vague but does anyone else have a similar sound at idle when the PTO is engaged? I stopped...

Since I'm rounding up it down it's still at 53 years young. Looks warmer back in SI than it is here in FLA. Hope that trend continues when I get home tomorrow. Headed to the UFC tonight should be some great fights.

I welded hooks on my bucket, we pull up to the front of the trailer connect the chain to two of the hooks and on each side of the trailer, then back up a bit to tighten the chain. On the back I have a clevis on the drawbar, chain thru that, then we use a lever chain tightener. It seems to...

I appreciate you guys taking the time to reply. So at this point with 107 members reporting their age we are at.... 53 YEARS YOUNG!! We finally had some decent weather last week here in Southern Illinois, but its rather cool this week. We have had a couple frost warnings for the folks that...

I don't think you can go wrong with either. I went from an older larger in stature tractor to the L3800, so I thought I needed the extra horsepower. After working the l3800 for 160 hrs so far, it has more than surpassed my expectations. If you're working up to one of these tractors from a...

I have used a small piece of 4" pvc pipe in the past for a cup holder. You can go smaller but with 4" you can still use a huggy to keep your favorite beverage cold. My L3800 came with a cup holder already made into fender.:)

The fuel gauge misreading has been brought up a few times in here. The tank is shaped like a fat number 7, so it holds most of the fuel at the top of the tank. When the gauge reads half full you probably only left with 1/4 tank of fuel, I noticed right away that the second half (on the gauge...

I like the mud flap idea, especially the cost. Might try it out this weekend.

I believe another member did that last year, number 9 maybe, haven't seen him on here in a while. Anyway I need to go the same thing. The paint is wearing on mine in a few spots. Are you doing the step too ?

You hit on the head behavioral, there's plenty of sh..heads regardless of race. But you guys are right you can't anything against anyone or you're a racist. It's a easy cop out for stupid people or politicians.... If fact and I hate to get on a rant but a lot of folks are too sensitive anymore...

Did you drop the n word or any other derogatory remark with in ear shot of the person or persons calling you a racist? I have a soft spot for kids with sh..head parents, they didn't get to choose their looser parents. I always wonder if they will follow their parents lead or learn what not...
