    3-point implement hook up problems

    I ended up solving this for me by removing the cotter pins from the clevis pin that attaches the telescoping stabilizer to the lift arm so I can quickly detach the telescoping arm. Get full motion of the lift arm and then put it back. It’s not ideal but it’s way better than the killing myself I...

    Rotary mower size

    I’m interested in opinions on minimum hp to run an 84” rotary cutter. I recently purchased an l4701 up from an l3000 dt. I ran a 60” on the 3000. I see some Kubota packages putting a 72” with the l4701 but wondering if I can go 84” without problems. I’ll be mowing around 40 acres of crp per...

    R1 tire availability

    Hello- I recently purchased an L4701. I wanted ag tires but it had R4’s on it. The dealer told me that there was a problem between Kubota and their R1 ag tire supplier and the tires currently available rubbed the fenders and that as soon as the problem was resolved they would call me and swap...

    New 4701 pto kicking out

    Thank you. On my tractor now, the pto is in a turn knob instead of the clutch and lever version I had on my previous tractor so I’m not sure it will work the same as your describing. But I’ll take a look. I appreciate the help.

    Thanks everyone. When I get home from work this evening I’ll compare my set up to those pics and if I need to I’ll check my tiller to see if there is room to flip the pins. Appreciate the help

    3-point implement hook up problems

    Hello- here is my second I’m new to this tractor question On my l4701 it seems like my sway bars will barely open wide enough to get around the pins in my 60” tiller and 60” bush hog. I do have the pins all the way out so the sway bars will sway freely. Is there another trick or do the lift...

Coming from an older l3000dt I’m sure I’ll run into several questions and appreciate all help in advance this evening using my bushog for the first time I found that after working for a while if I’d stop to move or maneuver the tractor for some...

    Help on changing sizes

    Right- I wasn’t thinking about the fact the other mfgr gear ratio may be different. Thanks for that. What I’m hoping to gain is superficial. I want the tractor to look bigger. I think the tires on it look to small. And it’s a solid tractor but because it’s a bit older I can’t sell or trade it...

    Help on changing sizes

    I am considering trying to beef up my l3000 dt a little by adding an FEL and larger tires. It came with 7-16 fronts and 11.2x24 rear. I am thinking about going to a 13.6x24 rear. (All ag) and maybe an 8-16 front. I assume that ratio of the 13.6x24 and the 8-16 will work because that was on...

    Problems with preassure and ballasted tires

    At 12 o’clock it seems like it continually pushes fluid and air mixed. So I need to drain some. Could that be why I can’t get a consistent psi reading?

    Problems with preassure and ballasted tires

    I know there is a similar thread recently but I have some additional questions and did not want to hijack that thread- I need some help understanding tire ballast and air preassure and how to apply that. I have a Kubota l3000dt with the front and rear tires ballasted. The manual calls for...

    3 Point hitch stabilizers keep bending

    Hello, I may not be using the proper part names- but I will do my best to describe the issue I am having- I have a 2001 L3000DT tractor and I am finding that I go through at least 1 set of the threaded turnbuckle stabilizers that you tighten to control sway on the 3 point hitch arms. I do...
