    L3800 grease fitting on front axle not in manual

    My L3800 has two grease fittings on the front axle. The one in front of the axle is in the manual. It is the front axle support and requires the removal of the breather plug. On the back side of the axle is another fitting where the shaft connects to the axle. This fitting is not shown in the...

    Lanyard for keys

    I was half way home from the camp the other day when I realized I didn’t have my tractor keys. I ended up finding them a few days later between my seats. I need to get a bright colored lanyard so I can avoid that frustration again in the future. I was thinking a bright colored neck style...

    Service life of hydraulic hoses

    So, how long do hydraulic hoses last? I’ve got 300 hours on my L3800. My tractor stays out of the weather and my hoses aren’t showing any wear. Will they last another 10 years? My time is limited these days and I’ve thought how a ruptured hose would ruin a weekend at the camp.

    Removing clumping bamboo with a stump bucket?

    I’ve got some dense clumping bamboo stumps I want to remove from my yard. It’s not a project I want to start any time soon but I’m evaluating the removal options. I tried digging them up with my loader bucket but it was like digging into a brick wall. I don’t own a stump bucket but I’d sure buy...

    Plywood to prevent rutting? FOLLOW UP

    I‘d like to use my L3800 on a drainage project in my yard. I don’t want to create more work for myself by creating ruts that I’ll have to repair. The ground is soft where the work is needed but not soupy. I have ag tires and it could get ugly quick. I had the idea to lay down 1/2” OSB sheets so...

    Wheel removal and reinstallation (loaded tires)

    I had my rear wheels reconfigured to the wides position. I had the same concern As you do in addition to no helper. Took it to the dealer. $85 OTD. I’m sure adding spacers wouldn’t take hours. Just a thought.

    Hurricane Ida

    I‘m in Mobile, AL and we’ve got eyes on it too. Where it’s going to hit is just a guess now. When Sally came though in 2020 it hooked to the right a the last minute. Caught a lot of people off guard and unprepared in my area. Stay safe.

    Will I notice the difference without the loader using a Grading Scraper?

    When I remove my bucket my L3800 doesn’t rock as much when I go over bumps. I always drop the bucket when I’m disking. Dropping your loader could give you a smoother ride if your grading over bumpy ground.

    Trailer for an L3901 with LA525 loader

    I have a 2016 Tundra and a L3800 with a FEL and filled tires. I haul it and one implement on 20’ trailer with two 3500 lb axles. Never any problems. I only wish I had taller tires on the trailer as the jack will sometimes scrape At odd angles.

    equitable way to purchase and/or share implements with neighbor

    I keep a pad lock on the pins of all my implements to prevent my brothers and others in the camp from using my equipment. It’s amazing that some people think a 5’ bush hogs was designed to chop down 4” trees. Been there and won’t be back. It cost me more to acquire my own stuff but I’m much happier.
