I see you have already had many good replies. Some things to consider... Which are you more likely to use MORE of the time; the rear blade or the front blade? Which one fits your wallet best? If you go the FEL route, have you looked at the Artillian systems? I have several of their components...

I am in the process of replacing my HST transmission fluid and am attempting to find new metal/rubber gaskets for each of the three drain plugs; 1 large and 2 small. See picture. Respectively the approximate ID/OD are 20/30 and 9/17. The local dealer seems mystified by them and does not have...

For no apparent reason my L4330 3 point hitch will not lower, though I have a box blade on it and have adjusted the Lowering Speed Knob full travel either direction multiple times. I have removed the seat to look below and it appears that the Position Control Lever and the Lowering Speed knob...

Greetings all, I am looking for replacement front tires (Firestone 8.3x16 tubeless currently) and don't see a lot out there. Dealer says they now replace with a 8x16 supplied by Farm Bureau ($175). I do see two immediate choices from Ken Jones; one a Goodyear Power Torque (in stock) and an OTR...

Hello, My 2003 Kubota L4330 Hydrostat 402 hours has begun to make a ker-chunk sound in the past day or so and I am trying to isolate the cause. It seems to occur mainly when I am in a tight turn or have just come out of one. This afternoon I noticed I did not hear/feel it as I drove into...

I am considering repositioning my rear wheels with R1 tires, and am interested to hear from those who have done it on their's. One reason is to accomodate chains which seemingly will be very close to the fender, but that remains to be seen until they have arrived and I have installed them...

After some snow and scraping, it is becoming obvious I will be needing chains if I want to get the most out of my Kubota. It seems if you get the V bars, they can tear up asphalt, but also they do better on steep, icy hills such as where I live. That part is gravel, so no big deal. But the...

I am now researching a set of rear chains, and have looked at tirechains.com thusfar. I get the impression from their site that ladder chains are not best for deep tread tires as in my NEW tires. I have considered the duo-grip and double ring. What have you used and has it served you well...

I have been pricing heavier duty rear blades this week, and am coming up with: $970 for Woods HBL 84 $995 for Land Pride RB35-84 $880 Bush Hog 70-07 $835 & $945 for Midwest Equipment RB40-84. Is the Land Pride so much better than the MidWest Equipment version? I have only seen the Bush Hog and...

Rear 84\" offset scrape blade-which one to buy? I am looking at a scape blade for my Kubota 4330, and have considered the Woods, Land Pride, Bush Hog and Mid West models. I like the fact you can add a landscape rake to the Land Pride, but in truth, am uncertain that I have a near need for such...

I have seen these advertised on TBN, but am unable to find any report on them. Does anyone have one? They appear to be the canopy to have, but what do I know? I am seriously considering one, but are there better choices? Thanks!

Hello all, My first post so a little bio may be useful. I live at the end of a steep mountain road @ ½ mile and gravel. Periodically it needs scraping to smooth/reshape and clean ditches. And in the winter, now, I need to remove snow and ice to save the roadbed and to make vehicle passage safer...
