    Seeking: spreader bar / load control shaft

    So I'm finalizing the installation of the belly mower on my L3010. As background, it came as part of the deal (and was actually my hot button for purchase) but I only learned after the fact, the fellow was including it, and his photos showed it installed . . . . . . but in point of fact it...

    The RC72-29A driveshaft clocking mystery

    So I bought a used 30hp tractor last year in large part because it came with a mid-mount mower deck. This, in addition to a 5' brush hog. Anyway, what I especially wanted (my hot button) was the mid-mount belly mower. By the way, in this photo, the mower deck is merely held in place with...

    L3010 float mode ?

    I hear about float mode in reference to the bucket attachment in front, which my L3010 doesn't have. Is there float mode for my 3-point? Wondering because I'm getting a flail attachment and watched a video where the guy said float mode was a life saver.

    L3010 & 2-post lift to access mower deck blades?

    Hi guys, Would you use a 2-post lift to raise the front of a 30hp L-series? I'm thinking to wrap a pair of 2"x10' tow straps rated at 6600lbs vs lifting straps to do the job. This, because tow straps don't stretch whilst lifting straps may stretch up to 30%. Specifically, these tow straps. My...

    RC-72A missing link, a brief how-to

    I purchased my Kubota L3010 HST second hand last year. Came with a well used 5' brush hog and an RC-72A belly mower whose wear appeared to closely match the ~600hrs of the tractor. However, the seller cautioned me he'd not used the mower deck, and principally relied on the brush hog (in this...

    Is a 60in flail mower too much for a 25 PTO-horsepower?

    Inexperienced tractor owner wondering . . . is a 60in flail mower with hammer blades (like the ones offered by Betsco) too much for an L3010 with ~25 PTO-horsepower? BETSCO: https://betstco.com/product/60-commercial-centered-flail-mower-with-hydraulic-offset-fh-fmc155h/ And yes, I know my...

    Is the PTO shaft coming off Kubota and JD tractors common 1-3/8?

    Basically trying to learn about PTO shafts. Assume I know nothing (because I don't). I think my L3010 uses a 1-3/8" shaft with 6-splines but I understand these things vary, so 21-splines is used on some equipment. That, and shafts may be larger like 1-3/4-20 splines, etc. Would someone kindly...

    Recommended brush hog for L3010?

    I've spent 20 years mowing 5 FL acres with a zero-turn type mower. Recently added a 30hp Kubota with a 72 inch belly mower to the mix. Love it, you'll pry it from my cold dead fingers! So now I'm thinking a 5 foot brush hog would be useful for the occasions when life interferes and the grass...
