I bought an L3560 HSTC (Cab) in August 2019. I am pretty happy with the tractor. I did not get the hoe but I did get the 4/1 bucket for the LA805 loader with the Kubota third function kit. I also did not think it was wise to get the smaller loader. I have not needed to take it back to the...

This is a nice photo by one of the members that is quite helpful. However, if someone could indicate the type of connectors and size/thread, especially the T-Connector, and the connector with a slight angle to it, I would be extremely grateful.

Got all of them out this weekend to do work. Had to mow with the BX 1850, do maintenance (change oil and filters) on the L-3700 SU and fix a leaking underground water line with the BX 24 TLB.

Decided to go ahead and replace my BX 1850 with a mid mount mower with a B 2130 with a mid mount mower and a hydraulic lift sickle bar on the 3 point. Got a price from my local dealer and Messick's and I am waiting for a quote from a dealer about 3 hours away in Virginia who includes a trailer...

Locally, I have found a nice running New Holland/Ford 250C with two 72" flail mowers (one rear and one side that lifts 90%). I have offered 2.5K for it. If he accepts or maybe I'll bump it to 3K then it is a much cheaper option.

I would like to cut under fences and hard to reach places, knock down some encroaching brush (by lifting the mower to 12 o'clock, for example). I have a BX-1850 that I use for mowing the lawns with a belly mower that has unused loader hydraulics . I have a BX-24 TLB which would handle some of...

I own a BX1850 with a belly mower 54 inch. BX 24 TLB L-3700SU with a LA 463 loader and 60 inch brush hog. I need a brush hog for cutting about 4 acres of fields. I need a mower for the lawns. I use the backhoe for various jobs, including removing stumps. The BX24 backhoe is very weak for...

If you start hearing rattling from your MMM, remove the blade pulley covers. The 4 bolts that hold the pulley together come loose, perhaps they did not torque them down correctly at the factory. I heard the rattling and smelled burnt rubber . Stopped the mower and removed the pulley cover on...

I purchased a Ballistic Performance 8 cell Lithium Ferrous (LFr) battery for my 1975 Norton 850 Commando. The battery is about a quarter of the size and about 20% of the weight of the standard battery for the bike. The standard battery, even the "maintenance free" gel cells will never last...

Guess I will have some fun tomorrow. Only 5 inches or so, but it will be the first time with the big Kubota L. The little BX24 had a heck of a time last year with the 18 inches or so. The L should really have an easy time with the 5 inches.

Dealer returned my BX 1850 and my BX 24 with the extended warranty replacement of the cracked floor on my BX-1850 and reinforcement on the BX24 which had an undamaged floor. Great service. Anyone with any of this era tractors should take advantage of the extended warranty even if your floor...

My local dealer (my salesman) came by today and picked up my two BXs (while I was at work) to take them back to the dealership to perform the floorboard upgrade on the BX24 and replacement (for the BX1850 which has a floorboard crack). And, I didn't buy the BX 1850 from him!!! I did buy an L...

I heard my left floor board crack on my BX-1850 while getting on the tractor this summer. I knew what the problem was and sent an email to Kubota just 2 days ago asking what my options were since both my BX1850 and BX24 are out of warranty. This was their response: "Alfred, thank you for...

I have a BX24 and an L3700 and would like to fit a grapple on one of them. I am thinking that a quick connect grapple for the L3700 might be the most practical route, rather than an attachment for the bucket on either tractor. What needs to be done hydraulic wise to get the grapple function to...

Does Kubota cover the known floor cracking on the older BXs after the warranty is up? Just cracked the floor on a pre-mod BX1850, out of warranty. Anyone have experience with this?
