Operating L355SS

[jimczeb]

Hello everyone. I am new to the site and to Kubota tractors. After using farmall tractors in my youth we are now owners of an L355SS. I am new to diesel engines as well. Any tips for operating would be appreciated. Like, is it good to shuttle from forward to reverse without stopping in neutral? Anyone have a pdf copy of the operator's manual?

Thanks,
Jim czebiniaik

I don't have a OPS manual for the L355SS But I do have a WSM for it, I'll send you a link.
It's got a ton of information in it.
You can pretty much just shift from forward to reverse without stopping in neutral.
I will not excessively wear or hurt the hydraulic clutch to do it either, My biggest hurtle is to not use the mechanical clutch when I'm working with mine.

Welcome to the forum Jim. How many hours on your L355? You will soon learn it is a lot easier than you might think and Kubota makes some good tractors.
