    Well here you go, ill start 35, I have had a tractor since I was 20 something but it wasn't orange. Only green in our family until my uncle jumped ship and went orange. I followed a few years later and wish I had done it a lot sooner. My dad still cant get over it, just the other day he...

    Problems with Yellow Finches in garden

    I always plant sunflowers along with my vegetable garden and never had a problem with them other than in the sunflowers. The first year I planted the sunflowers I took a walk out thru them and it must of been 500 of them took off all at once. Wish I could have gotten it on film, it was pretty...

    Kubota 3300 or Deere 3038e ?

    It goes without saying that the JD is not going to get much support on a Kubota forum, try the JD talk forum and I'm sure the opposite will be true. I did quite a bit of research before I bought a new tractor and I went orange, I'm never going back. After it was suggested to me that I take...

    2013 L3200 HST fuel bowl guard

    I broke the fuel filter body while brush cutting. There's a thread in here about it somewhere. I had planned to build some type protective cage for it but never did. Please post some pics if either of you decide to make one.

    So I decided to prove my R1s would not get stuck..

    The mud in my neck of the woods has no bottom, its all old river bottoms. Once you're stuck you're stuck! Got my 2wheel drive JD stuck in it once, with no one around to help me get it out. Ended up have to use 2 very long tow straps and a come a long while the tractor turned the wheels in 1st...

    L3800HST Safety Switch Wiring

    Okay, I had to try and lift the seat with the PTO on and it did not shut off, but when I leave the seat down it does shut off. Why is this? Clearly I don't understand how the switch works, can someone enlighten me? Actually, I'm glad it works now I can get off while mowing and not turn off...

    Hodge Stabilizers on L3800

    I had planned to buy a set from Hodge, and I still may, but when I put the quick hitch on I don't really have to adjust them anymore unless/when they loosen up. Before the QH it was a pain to get in there to loose and tighten them up every time I wanted to change implements. So I guess if you...

    L3800HST Safety Switch Wiring

    Balvar and yourself are stating the same thing but how does that work? Isn't it doing the same thing when you get up from the seat, moving the position of the switch up, as it would if you get up then flip the seat forward? I'm not saying it doesn't work, don't get me wrong, I guess I'm just...

    l3800

    Mine came with a bungee to keep them together, but bluegill is right. You'll want some weight on the back for FEL use. You should have turn buckles, that might it be what they're called, they should pretty much hold the lower arms in place. When I first got my l3800 I was using a category 2...

    Pto clutch with HST L3800

    I use a 6ft tiller with mine and haven't had any problems, I tilled a little over a half acre last year, although I did plow it first. You'll be able to go as slow as you want with the HST and that's the same way I engage the pto.

    L3800HST Safety Switch Wiring

    Are you getting on and off with PTO engaged? That's the only time mine will shut down, otherwise I'm on and off mine while its running all the time. The gentleman that put my JD back together would not do so unless he could install a safety switch so that it wouldn't start in gear. A kid of...
