I'm looking for some advice on what could be causing this. The tractor idles fine, and the rpm's come up using the throttle on the column. I've got a hydrostatic transmission and when I step on...

I just traded tractors and my new one (L5240) has a cat 2 3pt hitch. This is new to me as my previous tractor (L3130) was a cat 1. I'm having problems getting my new top link to adjust. During...

Hey friends, I'm looking at getting either a John Deere 4320 with a 400CX loader (48 hp) or a Kubota L5240 w/ LA854 QA 72" loader (54 hp). I'm leaning toward the Deere because of ease in...

I jumped ship from John Deere and went Kubota. Very nice Tractor and the HST with loader work is great. Even got to dig a stump out. I think Kubota makes a very well put together tractor.

If price was no object (I think there's about a $5,000 premium for the L5240 over the MX5100) is there any reason why I should buy the MX5100 instead of the Grand L5240. Both would be HST and open...

I am in no way bashing the L3400, but the difference is unbelievable. Power to spare and perfect size IMHO. The 854 loader was lifting chunks of concrete far larger than what I expected...
