I just traded a 2001 L3000dt and bought an l4701dt last September. for me the decision to trade was based on 1) what the dealer I ended up going with offered me as a full package deal and 2) an aggressive work and weekend schedule that was going to limit my time to show and sell my tractor. i...

What’s the best way to clean my radiator after bush hogging crp ground. I’ve done a water hose and leaf blower/air compressor before. I also have a pressure washer. Also which direction do I go with it. Out the front or toward the engine. i have an L4701 thanks in advance

I have ordered a set of bucket hooks. many tips on where and how to install them. i have an L4701 I’m assuming just use a quality drill bit and it’ll punch through easy enough is that right? Also I am considering just mounting one hook in the middle of the bucket rather than 2- on either side...

Hello, Wanted to share a rookie lesson I learned in case it saves some other poor souls a coronary- I’m not new to tractors but I am new to new tractors as the recent owner of an L4701 gear drive which has all of “the emmisions stuff”. i was doing some fairly heavy crp bushogging which tends to...

When bushogging, should I set my telescoping stabilizers so there is no play or should I put it in the notch that allows a little movement. I’ve never had telescoping stabilizers before. My tractor is an l4701 thanks in advance.

Thanks for the input. there are a couple reasons- one is thatI trailer my tractor a lot and I have the rear tires on the next to widest setting so I was thinking I’d have a little more even line when loading. The second reason is that I understand the conversation over the pivot points and...

Woth R1 tires Is it safe to swap sides with my front tires so that a wider stance is achieved or will that mess up the front end. I would keep the tread in the right direction by switching sides but the wheel disc would be mounted to get the wider stance.

are bolt on bucket hooks reliable and also does drilling then weeken the bucket in any way? I don’t have or know how to weld and id rather not go to the trouble of finding a welding shop thanks In advance

I just got the call from the dealer that the R1 tires have come in for my L4701. i have been reviewing the manual for how to widen them on the rim but find it confusing. right now I have r4 on it and I would like to mirror that width with the R1. Which setting on the r1 rims mirrors that. I...

Great. Thank you.

Hello, how many gallons of ballast does it take to get the following tire sizes ballast to 75% 14.9-24 17.5-24

Tiller just because I normally plant food plots in late August and ground is hard and dry. The tiller cuts better than the disk in those conditions for me. I still have a 7’ disc and like it fine. Cheaper for sure just not as good under my most usual application

I just purchased a 4701. In my area the mx was hard to find just do to inventory snd the one I did find was around 3k more which was a red line for me. The other issue for me with the mx was the weight. I have a 7000lb trailer and my land is an hour away. I trailer a lot. With the loader...

Understood. Thank you all again.

In follow up the specs say my 4701 has 39.3 hp at the pto(gear drive) An 84” mower should require 35hp at 5hp/ foot. Am I thinking about that right or is that cutting it to close. I sure don’t want to break anything

Thank your for the replies. That rule of thumb is very helpful

They do. All expenses on them. So I’m ok with how it works out except that I don’t have the tires yet lol. I just thought it was odd and didn’t know if it was localized to my dealer or not.

Fortunately there was no damage. The put R4 on and wrote that when they get r1 in stock I get to swap out at no cost

The top of the fender is where I understood the issue to be. But the dealer framed it as a Kubota issue. Seems odd.
