    Hydraulic Top Link

    I have the referenced cylinder from Agri-Supply on my L3301. I chose not to add a check valve, because I use float in several applications. When I installed Pat’s quick hitch system, I had to cobble together an extension for the attachment point at the tractor. I would not be without a...

    Operating with Brakes Applied - How durable are they?

    My neighbor has a BX. He had a very bad habit of always running at full throttle from the time he started it to the time he shut it down. He also had a very bad habit of leaving the brakes on. Understandable since we are in the mountains. A bad combination because when he stated out at full...

    Kubota BX 2360 top link

    https://www.amazon.com/Compact-Tractor-Assembly-Category-VPL5006/dp/B00ZQ9DONK This top link will probably fit with some minor modifications. Read the reviews. You could also get one from Kubota; but going to cost more. Jack

    Looking to buy a new L3902HST or the 3902DT….opinions?

    I have the L3301HST. The ONLY thing that I don’t like is the treadle pedal and brake pedals on the same side. The new L series solves that issue. In my younger days, all the tractors I drove were manual transmission. For me, hydro is the way to go. But, it is definitely personal preference...

    Really professional job! Very nice looking, and most functional that I have seen. The process of modding your tractor to fit your needs is off to a great start! Jack

    Officially now waiting in line!

    Nice. I would like a grapple, but still have not come to grips with paying and waiting. You have more patience and trust than I. Jack

    New season, hummingbirds back

    Our hummers are just now coming back. According to my birder friends, they just finished their nesting season when they had to feed their young with insects. That is apparently why they don’t feed from the feeders for a while. Jack

    Where do you keep your small money?

    My wife and I are taking advantage of the I-Bonds. You can invest up to an additional $5,000 each by applying any refund due to you from your federal tax return. Jack

    She Did it Again!

    Obviously - YOU put the bucket in the wrong place. AND - YOU parked the car in the wrong place. She will get you trained-up yet.

    OK has anybody

    We put 2 feeders out a week ago. We are at 4400’ in the Western NC mountains. Saw our first hummingbirds today. We now have 4 feeders out. 3 days ago we saw our first rose-breasted grossbeak. Very pretty bird! Jack

    Anyone have experience with a rock bucket for a L3901??

    I have an L3301. I live in the mountains, and “pick” a lot of rocks. I have a toothbar mounted on my bucket, and find that this helps a lot in “digging” out the rocks. The obvious advantage of the rock bucket is that you get less dirt. I do not have an “expert” opinion on what size dirt...

    Kubota Top and Tilt kit #L8388A

    The bad news is that Kubota doesn’t seem to care. The good news is that you will probably get the parts cheaper from a supply house or hydraulics shop. Jack

    FS: BT1000/BT1400 Control Valve

    Just out of curiosity, what did your new valve cost? Jack

    Size doesn't matter? Since when?

    Good morning bsd, I have a Kubota L3301. I find that it is adequately powered for every task I have needed it for. I also have a backhoe (BH77) for it. Very capable combination. If you have a backhoe, you will not need to rent a trencher. The main downside I see to a tractor backhoe...

    Homestead Pinnacle Series Root Grapple (72 inch) Review

    Very nice and thorough review. Timely for me, as I need a grapple, have the same tractor as you, and have already installed my third function. Like you, I am unwilling to wait for EA. I don’t like the idea of giving a company my money, and then waiting 6 months to get my product. I was...
