What brand grapple was it you bought from Kubota?? There's a Kubota/new holland dealer about 5 miles from me. Never thought of stopping by. Might be time. I have LS MT352 same tractor and the NH and made by LS.
Good time to make friends over there.
If you have a wood lot like me maneuverability is a thing. My tractor is 63" wide. I'm going with a 60" grapple - great thread thanks I've been on the search for a year now.... getting tired of chains and my bucket to move brush and logs.
Now glad I didnt pull the trigger on an EA in January.
I get a squeal when I start up my tractor in the cold. Makes me extremely nervous. I had a knock a while back but it was my crank shaft position sensor. Threw codes and went into limp mode or shut down I forgot which. I replaced the sensor and everything back to normal.
Have you looked at your shift lever behind the dash?? I'd start there before splitting the tractor. On my shuttle shift F/N/R lever there's a pin that holds everything together. It gets dislodged sometimes and has even fell out making the shift lever inoperable. I'd look there first.
Get a neighbor to plow it for you first time thru with a 15-18 btm plow or moldboard plow. Thats what we did.
Then you need to work on the soil health. Clay is ok once you add in soil organic matter and that takes some time - a few years.
Can add in some local manure and then till that in...
For folks with LS tractors and regen issues. In my case the only time I had a regen issue was when I bought cheap diesel at a local out of the way gas station. I had a few issues regen and a lot of smoke and limp mode.
After that I never buy diesel other than at our local Over the Road...
We have an MT352 with cab and shuttle shift. The lift height is no problem I could still FU and dump a load on top of me if I wasn't careful.
We push snow here with a 1000' driveway asphalt onna mountain side with a small incline but its enough in heavy snow that we need to plow WITH the...
Zero turn has a pretty low center of gravity with a +50" deck hanging off the bottom of the frame. We have a few 25 degree banks I mow with my ZT - it's sketchy at first until I figured out the safest way to mow the banks and each one is a little different.
Most of the steep slopes its either...
This is what we do. I do the main trails with a rotary cutter and and also use a zero turn around the trees - that lot isnt all that big. We've go 15 acres of woodlot that is mostly cleared under the trees. Mowing it 3 or 4 times a season keeps it clean and walkable. Can raise up the blade if...
FYI My neighbor had a similar tractor similar year - check your wiring underneath the complete harness - his tractor burned up the whole harness and he's a diesel mechanic. Some of the wiring could be soy based insulation + rats = fire hazard.
My 4wd lever in on the floor behind my foot on the left brake side
My shift lever is on the console left side of the steering wheel - this is the one that will disable your tractor when the roll pin falls out I just had to tap mine back in the other day it worked its way out again. I duct...
