Tractor
JD 345/ Kubota Side by/ kubota ??
Posted in the newb forum 2 weeks ago that I was possibly buying now I have the SN and all the paperwork! I'm gidy as an 8 yr old on Christmas! Its getting the third function put in as well as a blk heater and chain hooks welded onto the bucket.
We have 8 acres that were burned last summer so I have a butt load of trees to move and cut as well as grassland recovery. The fire was so hot on our property that it sterilized the dirt. Weeds aren't even coming back; its just scorched. Next purchase is the wicked grapple.

Congratulations. Those are nice tractors and you know you got a good reliable machine with Kubota. Did you get quick attach on front of the FEL? Pictures when you have them please.

Congratulations. If you have many large Stumps, please remember that your tractor isn't Heavy Machinery like an Excavator or Dozer.

Congrats on the purchase.

Definitely get a Grapple of some type. It'll increase your productivity a hundred times over. Also will make you a very lazy man. My Grapple is on my tractor 95% of the time. I do a lot of timber work. Rarely pick up a tree limb by hand.

Also, with a Grapple you are gonna need some ballast. Load the rear tires with fluid, non corrosive, I used windshield washer fluid. Might want some 3pt ballast as well. I carry around my 1200lb box blade most times, unless in congested timber, then it gets in the way.

That's a nice sized machine. And with the l4060 your get a bit more clearance between the fel connections and the front wheel than the next size smaller which I think is a big deal.

As soon as it shows up you won't even remember it was delayed. Congratulations on the investment.

I recently put rear lights on my L4240 HSTC,yours"may"be similar.Purchase the stock switch from Kubota(fits the pre-wire and hole),tractor should be wired for the rears,mine was taped to the flashers .

Congrats on the tractor. They factory lights are more than bright enough for a tractor. If you want something really really really bright checkout Baja Designs Lights.

I don't think the Kubota rear light kit was too expensive but all you really need is the switch because the harness is already there. The brackets they supply come off the hazard brackets. The rear lights kind of suck and I have been thinking of brighter ones. I think I have the same ones on my m135GX and they won't even light up my implements to work much past sundown.

I cant find an interior switch so the reflection off the back window makes it impossible to see when backing up. Anyone know of an interior dimmer?
