Love to hear success stories. These online forums are the absolute best part of having the interwebs!!!

The answer is a Mother Trucker. And that is what I think about removing the factory installed HST filter on my L4701. I had to use a 12" strap wrench with a 32mm box end cheater extension, laying flat on my back with both feet against the tractor frame giving it all I had. Mother Trucker.

Been using the tractor quite a bit in the last couple of weeks and 50 hours snuck up on me. I happened to be driving by the dealer today so I picked up the three oil filters (Really? $40+ and $60+ for hydraulic filters?). I found hydraulic fluid at WalMart that is compatible with Kubota's UDT...

That is what Rears recommends. Low rpm to engage then speed it up.

I borrowed a nearby farmer's rock bucket and have been picking up the rock I pulled to the surface with my grading scraper (grading blades removed). It is slow going but I am getting there. I plan on finishing this round of picking then turn the soil and pick one more time. Hopefully that...

I can't answer that yet. This property had been mowed in previous years with a rotary mower that wouldn't cut low to the ground and had left over apple tree suckers from the previous orchards. (They do a great job popping tires) This spring I started spraying the apple suckers so they would be...

I like it quite a bit. I had it set to mow very close to the ground as I wanted to cut off a bunch of apple suckers I had sprayed. Because of that i hit more rocks than would be normal and trashed a bunch of d-rings and blades. Other than than it was a great operation. The best part of a...

Thought I’d share some tractor porn.

"Don't ask questions you don't want answers to."

Great, thanks. Off I go to Valley Tractor.

I am excited to have found a local farmer that had a rock bucket and is willing to loan it to me. I have an extra Titan adapter plate on hand and will be fabricating some pin brackets to match the older John Deere style bucket mounts this thing has. The holes in the bucket mounts are exactly...

Went to his house and this is what I found. Should be easy to weld some tabs on my steel plate adapter.

I found a guy in my hood that has a rock bucket he is willing to loan me. I haven't seen it yet but he says it has standard John Deere mounts. I am not 100% certain what that means but I do own a Steel Mount Plate (...

I may take you up on that offer. I have two kids in Spokane for college so we are over your way quite frequently. Do you like wine? I make some pretty good stuff. While it's not legal to barter with it.....

My L4701 is around 30 hours and I was looking through my service manual anticipating the 50 hour service. I am wondering if there is any issues with me performing the recommended/required service tasks without having warranty problems?

Scrolling through some old threads and saw your question with no replies. Mowing height is controlled by the roller and the flail is operated with the 3 point in the full down position. Once you set the roller where you think you want it the lower the mower fully and adjust upper 3 point arm...

I get that these will only work on the surface. I have a grading scraper that I unbolted and removed the grading blades so basically it's a 6 foot five chisel ripper. It is bringing more rocks to the surface than I care to look at. I need the rock bucket to pick them up. I figure if I do...

So I have been thinking about a way to pick up rocks for a while now. I have posted a few questions and have received some great answers. I truly believe that a rock (or skeleton) bucket is the right solution for me. I did some shopping and the best price light weight quality unit is from...

Wow....the $730 Rock Bucket became $1200 with shipping. Ouch.

Neither are reasonably available to me. I will have to make multiple trips the the l4701. Oh wel, guess that means more tractor time!!!
