I've never had that problem before. If it's tight with the new clamps on it to me it sounds like it's building up pressure in the tank. Check the vent on the tank and make sure it is open.

This is something I learned the hard way. It's much cheaper to get the tractor you need the first time instead of just settling on one that doesn't have the options you want. I bought a rops model M 9000 DT in 02 but really wanted a cab model instead. I was bushhogging one night and while going...

This is a guess but I would say between 700 and 1000 lbs. One thing for sure, if you don't have a loader on it the 3pt will lift more than the frontend can counter balance. My brother had a B 7500 DT. With the loader removed and a 4 ft light weight rotary cutter attached I could guab his...

The diff lock on my L 3000 is really stiff also. It probably will always be that way because I have only used it 1 time in 10 yrs. The best way I know to unlock them properly is after you get out of what you were stuck in is to back up a few feet. I will also turn the wheels slightly from side...

Maybe that will be all that it is. Sometimes it's the simple things that really kick your butt. That would be nice if a simple readjustment would fix you up. Hope you get lucky.

It's a shame how some people treat their orange. My first Kubota was a 77 or 78 B 7100 DT. It had been really abused bad before my Dad bought it for me. I didn't care how it looked. I fell in love with that little orange machine. I was only 12 or 13 then and that was the best gift I ever had. I...

My opinion is that 4WD is worth it's weight in gold. I have use my 4WD while bushhogging more than any other task I do. I don't know how many times I have went to cut across a ditch that looked okay and the bottom fall out. Or go cross ways thru a ditch and the cutter drag just enough to make...

I went back and read over your first post again about this clutch problem. By the way you described the adjustment process it doesn't sound like it's not to hard to get limited access to the clutch. It would be nice to just spray some kroil or some other good penetrating oil in there and let it...

Good idea on the wood block. It actually says to do that for storage purposes in my owners manual. Something you might try before you tamper with the safety switch. Engage the PTO with the engine off. Press the clutch in fully and get someone to hold it in for you. Take a pry bar and work the...

The very first thing I would check is the water drain plug in the bottom of the clutch housing to make sure it's dry. Are you pushing the clutch all the way thru both stages before you try to engage the PTO? It's easy to miss this step if you're not familiar with the tractor. A friend of mine...

If it's been sitting that long I guaranty that it has grown algae in the fuel. After cleaning the tank out I would put about 4 oz of marvelle mystery oil in with the clean fuel to help remove what's left and get the fuel system cleaned up. Even if that's not the problem it won't hurt anything to...

You are correct on the bobcat. They make several models with a Kubota engine. I believe the 700 series machines are all Kubota powered. A mechanic at our local bobcat dealer told me that the rings could be left out of the 743 series and they would still run fine just burn a little oil. He...

My brother and I did a lot of research on them and Scag just does a better job on their mowers. Like I told him though, it's hard to be perfect in everything. I'm sure the Kubota mower would do a good job but it just isn't the best in this case. Oh well, can't win them all.

I don't no for sure about that particular model but you may want to look at this. Don't get me wrong, I love my Kubota pruducts but they are lacking in my opinion in a few spots and lead the pack in others. I think the hyd lift is nice but not a must. The jack system is a great feature for...

I no this mat sound crazy but it happened to me at the beginning of cold weather last year. A little bit of strange trash fell down on my floor board that I couldn't identify where it came from. After doing more investigation I removed the cover that is between the dash and the hood and found a...

The worst case of this I ever saw was about 15 years ago. I witnessed a man take the entire hyd filter out of a brand new tractor and throw it away then put the cover back on without one. He said that hyd filters were a waste of time and would just leave you stranded in the field when they...

I have had this setup for about 3 or 4 years so I don't remember the exact number. I think I only gave around $200 for it and it came already painted orange. Kubota may not make this style for many loaders but it's the only option for the LA 450 S. I do like the fact that there is no need to...

I just now looked to see where you are from. No doubt it gets real cold there. It seems to me that nobody on this site is interested in the benefits of synthetic oil but it may interest you if you are using your tractor in the cold much. I use Amsoil synthetic oil in every thing I own. One of...

Not really sure about this model. My L 3000 holds around 6.5 qts. The fill port plug on mine is also a dip stick. I would say if yours isn't like that it will have a small plug to remove about half way up on the case that will act as a level port. I used the same oil that the transmission uses...

I haven't fooled with a L 35 but I can tell you what I do on my tractors. After the walk-a-round all I do is hit the key and they fire up. I don't use the glow plugs unless it's real cold. I have always been told that the less you use them the longer they will last. I am just guessing but I...
