    Advice on buying Kubota to replace old Cub Cadet?

    L3901 Armrest / Draft control

    Anyone know of any armrest that will work on a L3901 the dealer claims there are none listed for it but the seat looks there are 3 points on each side of the seat for brackets. I'd also like to know if a draft control is available for this machine I couldn't find anything on Messick's parts site.

    Trying to get both features in one tire

    I needed good traction in the mud because I have a wet lands area on my property and I ended up trading the R4s in for the R1 tires but I went with the Radial galaxy 320/85R24 rears for extra traction in the mud. I have the rear tires loaded and the front tires foam filled it pulls around in...

    PTO speed for finishing mower

    I pull a Land Pride 35-90 behind my L3901 and have always run it at 540 pto speed on the tach haven't had any problems yet. Owners manual says run at 540 I doubt you're saving much fuel unless you're running it much slower and I wouldn't think that would be to good on the mower or tractor.

    Measuring hyd oil

    I Cerakoted mine in the E-120 (Smoke) color and when I wipe it off I use a paper towel with brake cleaner it dries instantly and when you put it back into the oil it almost lights right up where it's on the stick.:)

    Tire width

    I don't see the difference in your chart they appear to be the same height just a different width. Ok I see it now I didn't understand the numbers the 85 stands for the height based on a percentage of the width. According to Carlisle tire's website the 14.9 mounted diameter is about 6"...

    Tire width

    I know what you mean I wouldn't think the 14.9 width of the rear tire would change that ratio as long as the diameter (height) is the same as the 11.2 or am I thinking incorrectly here?

I am curious if the tires and wheels for the L4701 would fit my tractor it's listed as...
