    another buying advise question.L2800 b3300su or ct230

    I have the L3200, which is about the same as the L2800 - about 2 hp more at the PTO. It will do everything you've asked for, and then some. The L series appear to have a stronger rear axle than the 3300 although I've never heard or seen a complaint, and can pick up a bit more at the 3 point...

    Re FEL

    It looks GREAT to me! How much does it weigh, if you have any idea?

    TSC lawn roller

    I work the steel wall to be around .09" Probably 12 GA. When you toss in the handle, it works out closely. If you are moving slowly on grass or gravel, it should do fine. If you are clipping along and hit an abrupt rock, it will probably dent. There is no telling how long the drum shaft...

    FEL Problem

    Eric has a good point. If your pressure relief blew you would not be able to get any appreciable pressure on the lift valve. When you curl, it blocks off the hydraulic flow through the valve neutral, and directs it to one side or the other of the curl cylinder, creating pressure. The lift...

    FEL Problem

    It sounds to me like one of the valves is stuck. In order for the bucket to lift, the oil from the lower side has to go somewhere. Using the curl function allows that. So I would think that the curl valve is not allowing free flow when it is in neutral. Does the curl function work end to end...

    LA463 vs LA524; 60" pin-on vs. 66" QD

    This has been bothering me ever since I wrote my first reply. I have added spacers to my rear wheels, so they are 66" wide. When you are working with the loader, it is nice to have the bucket as wide as the tractor or you end up driving over the edge of your cut path, which makes the tractor...

    Bush hogs

    I had a L185DT with about 13 PTO horses. I had a 60" bush hog, and found myself in low gear if it was really heavy grass or brush. I did feel, however, that if the tractor could run it over, the bush hog would cut it down. You have way more horses, but I'd be leery about the size and weight of...

    need to hook up to my L245 hydraulics

    The block is the same size, but fatter - maybe an inch and a half thick. I'm many miles away from my place, or I could send a picture. I believe it was called an auxiliary hydraulics port. Kubota dealer should have the info. Anyway, if you make a block, drill it through and tap one side for...

    New (to me) 2550DT

    My tendency was always to let the tractor idle if it wasn't going to be off for a while. I don't recall reading anything that promoted either solution. My new 3200 swallows gas like crazy, so I tend to shut it off... Backing up the hill is a pretty good idea. The FEL will help hold the front...

    Hour meter on B7100HST

    I wouldn't change tynes until they break. I change one or two about every time I use my tiller, but leave the ones that are merely worn down a bit, They generally start out with about 2-1/2" blade depth, but don't break off until they are about 1/2 that. As long as they have a cutting edge...

    power beyond

    Wherever your hydraulic controls are for the FEL, you need to add an additional hydraulic 3 way valve (extend, open, retract - in the center, open condition it needs to allow fluid flow through the valve, and have both control ports sealed off). Find the return line from the existing valve...

    L175 Issue

    While the ignition is "on" your alternator is in the charging mode. You have a rotating coil - the rotor, within a stationary coil - the stator. As the rotating coil rotates its magnetic field crosses the poles of the stator, generating alternating current in the stator. Diodes in the...

    Question for L3200HST owners

    You already have a L2800DT. Horsepower of the 3200HST is about the same. If you aren't having HP problems with the 2800, you probably won't with the 3200. The 3800 will allow you to turn a bigger mower, cultivate with a bigger tiller, and maybe pull a bigger plow through the ground. Your...

    weight for l175

    The L175 is 2WD? Started out weighing about 1800 lbs? You are needing steering stability? I'd go for about 200lbs, for no really good reason other than I just put about 260 lbs on my new L3200DT, and that helped a lot! You can click on my name and somehow get to pictures. What you do...

    LA504 Question on B3300SU

    Re-read this as to the LEFT and it makes sense... It is because I'm right handed and left eyed that I get all confused with this simple stuff.

    BT 1200 Loader for L245DT

    Woops! I thought the $140 was for the whole cylinder, not just the kit. Sorry to have bothered you with drivel.
