Many thanks! Don’t see the “control box” but looking at the up / down arrows imprinted on the rubber bellows it appears to have the type of control I need. Will give them a call for sure!

Purchased 11 months back, as stated the air seat leaks down in about two minutes & ride then becomes unbearable. Apparently during assembly hose barb fitting was over tightened cracking the plastic housing of the control switch. Dealer has supposedly been trying to find a new switch but claims...

As title states, I’d like to add Dynamat style insulation on floor and hopefully in roof of my LS built Boomer 55. There are 4 nuts on on upper roof that appear to secure it to the cab structure; could roof removal be that simple?

Thanks alwaysworking, went to local NH store & owner suggested same steering wheel trick but couldn’t say for sure if they still extended. Back home I turned my silver center a bit, then pulled it off steering wheel, underneath was the large nut holding wheel on; guess telescopic column is a...

Traded my 2012 Kubota L4740 & as you might expect some operator adjusting needed. Major points are the two pedal vs treadle hydrostatic pedal, and seat to steering wheel placement. Feel I can adapt to the two pedal but after about 4 hours with boxblade yesterday I think I prefer the treadle...

No! Car actually WAS owned by (not so old) grandma who did occasionally race the car. The grandson was showing/selling the car for her.

Not tractor related but around 1971ish friend went to nearby city to look at 1968 Chevy SS396 that was advertised in newspaper as owned by “my grandma who only drove it to church on Sundays”. Friend did purchase the car, it was pristine, & title WAS in grandma’s name! After a little questioning...

Cabbed L4740 having a power loss problem that is driving me crazy. Feel it is fuel system related, & so far I have drained & vacuumed tank, replaced fuel pump, air bleeder screw, MANY fuel filters, fuel filter assembly, all hoses. Cracking injector lines produces same miss each cylinder. Now...

Never had a tractor with loaded tires, flat land, soft ground that is wet much of the time are big factors for me. Do agree the M is a better choice for most, just not for me.

Looking like I’ll be trading my L4740 for an MX6000 so adding couple points to an old post. Primary use (80%?) is rotary cutting approx 15 acres with some box blade & plowing. *M6060 is in the neighborhood of 1100 lbs heavier than MX6000. This was a big factor in my decision to eliminate the...

Life is hard when you’re stupid John Wayne

I’ve used Eastwood’s Rust Encapsulater for many years on many items, mostly on the frame of my “over the road” 2007 Kenworth. Very satisfied & continue to buy & recommend it, especially after seeing other eighteen wheelers the same age or newer with so much more damage from road chemicals. It’s...

Years ago couple of sightings on good friend’s farm plus his neighbor losing a couple of calves, game warden & biologist still claimed extinct around here, (and in almost the same breath said shooting one would put you in deep doo-doo). More sightings & couple of close encounters later they...

Those deer must have gotten into the same stuff as the armadillo another poster was having problems with. IIrc he was having to shoot them with big game weapons. [emoji13]

Maybe one year ago had a cracked wheel on my Kenworth T800, local tire shop I usually deal with sold me an Alcoa 11 x 24.5 Durabright, mounting my steer tire on the new rim & installing on the steer axle. They then used my old steer axle rim to replace the cracked rim that was on my rear drive...

Eliminate their food source & they will vacate (usually over to your neighbors [emoji57])

Very concerned!! Over here in south Lousyanna one can generally cancel a dillos lease with a head shot or maybe two body shots using a .22 rimfire. Body hits will usually have them moving like a bottle rocket for a ways then they layover & die. If we get some of those “Super Dillos” moving in I...

Also loved his (post Watergate conviction) comment that as a convicted felon he was not being able to own any firearms, HOWEVER Mrs. Liddy owned a whole lot of them.

In 1999 I purchased a used low hour NH 1715 with a stuck clutch that had slept outside most of its life. The tractor came with a parcel of land that the previous owner had purchased, & he was only interested in the land. New Holland dealer that replaced the clutch noted that (1) clutch had not...

In 2013 wanted to buy a (new) cabbed L4740 with dealer added rear remote from a salesman who had previously sold me two lawnmowers, GR1860 & a GR2120. They did not have an L4740 at their store but could trade for one with a dealer in a nearby state if I wasn’t in a hurry for it. Along with the...

After Hurricane Laura dropped the tractor shed onto the roof of my cabbed L4740, I repaired / modified the roof, replacing the damaged lights with a 30” Superbright light bar. All the light I need for nighttime pasture mowing. Don’t remember the lumens or amps but it’s the double row Super...

Kinda sounds like a refrigerant loss. Rather than spend $$$$ on set of gauges, many parts houses & Wally World carry those 16 oz refrigerant cans with the hose & gauge that fit ONLY on the suction (low pressure) side. Before you dispense any refrigerant notice the reading on the gauge. Not real...

Fall of 2000 going to work early one morning, deer jumped onto wife’s car, landing on the windshield & roof; that afternoon dealer called to tell us her new (ordered) car had arrived. The following week when leaving my workplace, I nailed a nice nine point with my Dodge p/u. The rut was on in...

Beat me to it. Years ago a good friend with an immaculate 1978 Bronco found out he had waaay more winch than that Bronco had frame. We hunted a lot in the swamps of the Atchafalaya Basin. Quite often winches were our best friend, & this guy was no stranger to the game. Only good tree was at a...

Probably get hammered for this, but ol school pipeline maintenance guy advised a mix of 2 oz glyphosate, + 1 oz 2-4-d per gallon water good squeeze of Dawn to top off the tank. Been using this for years, works great. I’ve had pretty good luck using RM 43 along parts of my fence line where “tye...

Recently purchased ff assembly from Kubota for my L4740; $57.00 (Iirc) & it came with a filter to boot.

MANY years ago I jokingly told SWMBO that purchasing our first tractor would not only be used to maintain our 2.78 acres 😜 but also help to keep me from bar hopping, riding my Harley, chasing women, (in no particular order). Years & four tractor purchases later as I look back on many of my bad...

One can is used but still good (synthetic) motor oil. #2 is Marvel Mystery oil #3 is new 20 wt synthetic oil. As an O/O pulling a tank trailer I sometimes haul new motor oils. Draining residue after unloading will net me a gallon or two. This stuff is also fantastic to lubricate slides on 1911s 😉

+1 with a mud dauber concern. I have them inside and out, so constantly fighting the pests. Things such as seldom used air tools with 1/4” quick couplers have to be taped / plugged shut or they WILL be mudded shut. In my tool box I constantly check my smaller sockets wrenches, etc. I hate...

Assuming you are referring to the tanks on your M series tractors, while I am discussing a zero turn. But interesting point as the reason I was given for the check valves being there is to prevent fuel from leaving one tank overfilling the other when mowing on slopes. Guessing that Kubota...

Thanks for the reply RjCorazza, for some reason can’t open attachment, message says I don’t have permission to perform this act. ??? Just a comment on your choice of fuel filters if you performed the modification. The secondary filter on my eighteen wheeler (C15 600 hp) is a 1R-0749, for a...

South Louisiana flatlander wanting to modify the fuel system so they will draw down equally. Thinking of removing stock setup from tank valves down, saving in case of resale; then mount a filter / water separator setup same as my L4740 so just have to stock one fuel filter. Haven’t looked at...

Can’t find anything on proper adjustment of the control cables, was hoping to find something before I started. Kinda tight with cab. Just gonna set the bucket down on level surface & try to get a good adjustment there. Thought I had it correct when I replaced the cables, but apparently not...

Correct, I should have used proper terminology.

Just traveling on flat ground & raising bucket will affect power, slowing engine speed.

Thanks Hay dude, suspecting an injector, but loosening lines one at the time produces a distinct miss which to me means the injector is working, perhaps not under load though. I may have to pull them & bring them in to be tested. $7000 for injectors is a big OUCH imho!

Thanks for the reply JWR; fel = front end loader. The cables resemble sleeved throttle cables, threaded on one end allowing adjustment to let the joystick control function properly. Have been using Pen Ray brand of algae treatment which local heavy duty parts houses offer. Seems to work pretty...

Sorry for long post, 2013 cabbed 4740, HST+ with 1100+ hrs. Experiencing power loss, engine bogging & slow to recover especially when shredding. I’m over the road O/O, wife mostly cuts pasture & had been complaining about power loss. Approx year back, two things happened when my job was really...

Although I think the Milwaukee is a better grease gun, like Tinhack I use a Dewalt because thats what most of my other cordless tools & batteries are. For me the variable speed trigger is handy when greasing U joints on my eighteen wheeler. Pushing the grease in too fast usually results in...

I almost agree with you totally, IF the fuel taxes would be applied to our highways I would have no problem with that or any reasonable taxes. I drive for a living & know how badly money is needed for the highway system. Years ago our politicians have successfully managed to get a great portion...

Down here in Lousy-Anna I recently read where some politicians were pushing for an annual EV flat tax of (at least) $60. Before the bill was voted on, some were already arguing $60 wasn’t nearly enough to compensate for the tax loss at the gasoline pump. You can’t make this stuff up.

Adding a little to what Big Bubba & Captain Dirty previously stated; Make sure the oil meets the engine manufacturer’s specs. The “API” (American Petroleum Institute) specs are posted on every container of motor oil for that reason. As an owner / operator hauling base & lube oils to different...

Don’t know what area of the world you’re in but here in south Louisiana lots of hurricane downed trees & limbs were shredded & compost was given to whomever wanted it. Many people spread it over their lawn, then the termites came…….

Especially with stainless, I often use either t-tape or a paste with PTFE as a thread lubricant, the sealant property is a plus.

Apologies for the hijack, but looking to replace my old BB 72, was hoping to find a dual tail wheel rotary cutter with a galvanized or at least powder coated deck. Interested in the new Land Pride, but paint or powder coat? Is it built as well as the Woods? No one seems to powder coat or at...

No grazing animals on my </> 10 ac pasture; Wife likes to keep it looking like a lawn so strongly considering a weak glyphosate mix to do a “burn back” as a fuel ($$$) saver.

My NH 1715 went to the dealer for clutch replacement; the NH TC 33DA that replaced the 1715 & my 4740Grand L that I now own have never been back to the dealer. Both dealers are less than 12 miles from me. If I have the proper tools / equipment I try to do everything myself to save money &...

Wish I’d had this advise when I bought my 48” forks! Cabbed L4740 & haven’t found a body position that allows me to see the fork ends when trying to grab a pallet off the ground. Couple of other considerations, I might be better off with 42” that don’t extend so far past the pallets, plus the...

Been down that road with my Bolens G152. Excellent little tractor, until I needed parts.

Got out of 3/4 ton Dodge diesel into Jeep pickup, sometimes feel intimidated by the bigger pickups however I am an owner / operator & imagine that some may feel intimidated when I’m rolling down the highway in my big rig. Just saying, people paying more attention to their phone than their...

In process of purchasing ZD1211. As an afterthought I inquired about the air seat available on the 15 series, dealer measured, confirmed that it will bolt on, getting price & contacting Kubota as to where to access power. Wondering if any of you guys went the air seat route on your 1211s if so...

2012 GR 2120 48" deck Yesterday afternoon wife began cutting grass for first time this season, noticed that deck not in normal lowered position, barely cutting the top of the grass. Came home last night, checked hydraulic raise / lower deck action appears to be normal, the round numbered deck...

2012 GR 2120 w/48" deck Wife pulled lawn mower out of shed, (first grass cutting since winter) & noticed that the deck is elevated even when using the hydraulic lever to put it in the lowest position. While working the hydraulic lever you can see the deck raise & lower, but at lowest position...

2012 GR 2120 w/48" deck Wife pulled lawn mower out of shed, (first grass cutting since winter) & noticed that the deck is elevated even when using the hydraulic lever to put it in the lowest position. While working the hydraulic lever you can see the deck raise & lower, but at lowest position...

L4740 with fel, presently have the forward cab lights only, would like to disconnect them, and hook up the hood lights instead. Bout the only thing I do in dark is shredding, and the dust on the windshield make the cab lights useless, I actually see better with them off. Think it would be better...

Just curious if anyone has ever built a 3 pt mounted, or pulled weed wiper that works, & doesn't leak, drip, etc. Have about 9 ac of pasture, thick with different weeds but also some grass.

Did a search, couldn't find any posts, wondering if I am the only GR2120 owner with this problem? Did fifty hour service, fairly sure I got all the zerks, even greased the service manuel in the zerk search process. IIRC, creeping began shortly after, greased linkage zerks again at maybe seventy...

After visiting the local Kubota dealer and looking at the air seat on one of the M models, I am seriously considering going with a Grammer. I remember sometime back someone (think it was 4 Shorts) had posted an excellent thread with pics about modifying the seat pan on the L. Doing a search, I...

L4740 Did 50 hour service some time back, looked in the owners/service manual, could not find how to reset the service reminder, and wound up forgetting about it. Now up to 94 hours, climbed in cab and for some reason, that was the first thing I saw when I turned on the key. How DO you reset...

L4740 cab, hydro, R4s, approaching 50 hrs. Had some loads of dirty sand hauled in to make a house pad- this formed a levee, and the recent rains helped turn my backyard into a lake. I decided to move some of the fresh dirt, then cut a temporary drain ditch using the fel and bb. As I was doing...

Did a couple of searches this forum, "matching Kubota orange", and "matching Kubota paint". Lots of stuff popped up, but couldn't find what I needed...... Recently purchased L4740, want to weld hooks on fel and Woods bb (painted orange). I know you guys have found the correct color match in a...

My new L4740 w/cab & loader is setting at the dealers; Came in without the rear remote I ordered, and I am tempted to try to install it myself, if it not to big a job. Would like appreciate any input, advise. (I did just go to Tractor Smart and fill out a form.)

Going to list everything I did, as problem seems to be because of something I did. 2005 TC33DA 620 hrs mostly used with rotary cutter. Key switch replaced, due to it not returning to "on" position after starting tractor. While replacing the switch, I noticed tractor was due a service. After...

Wife has put her foot down; she has to have AC, or no more shredding the pasture. Breaks my heart to trade our TC33DA HST. After a little online looking, I figured the Boomer 3050 with CVT was what I wanted, factoring in the hp draw of AC, and wanting to move to 6' tools, rotary cutter, bb, etc...

Wanting to replace my rusted out 5' shredder, and have been thinking about trying a six footer. For help on the front, the 33 is MFWD and has an almost never removed fel. Hydrostat, with unfilled industrial tires for what it's worth. Narrowed choices to the Woods Brush Bull, the galvanized...

I know the battery replacement thing has been kicked around quite a bit here, and now that I need to replace the battery on my generator, I'm intending to give it a used tractor battery. Haven't decided between the Optima, or the Odyssey dry cell for the tractor replacement, and wondering if...

Have about 10 hours on a Kubota T2380, (new purchase); wondering if anyone has issues with theirs. (23hp Kohler / 48" cut (counter-rotating blades) Streaking of uncut grass-especially during turns. Trouble shooting section of manual lists the following possible causes: (a) ground speed too...

Did a search, guess I'm not using the right "key words", cause I know it's been discussed; trying to find info on working the fel control in a manner that causes the bucket to float. Also wondering if there is an easy way to disable the float mode? I have moved quite a bit of dirt around on my...

Looks like the electric pto on my 1529 Cub Cadet gave up (198 hours on machine). After about thirty minutes of cutting, it will turn off, and usually start working again after a "cool-down". Called dealer yesterday, they can order one for $303.51 + shipping and tax. EGADS!!!!!!!! Sitting down...

Since adding a quick hitch to my TC33DA, my top link now appears to be approx. 4-6 inches too long. I leaned the tower on my Woods shredder toward the rear, and am making out alright with that tool, but my box blade is very limited on any top link adjustment, meaning I shorten the top link till...

TC 33 DA on R-4s, with 14LA fel, I have scattered ruts on my 10 acres, nothing deep, just the kind you don't notice until you have bounced over them when shredding with the cruise on. I'm wondering if I could damage anything in the hydraulic system by going over these bumps with the fel bucket...

Will shortly be looking to replace my R-1 tires on my 1715 FWD, & would like to go the R-4 route. Did a search & didn't come up with any help; my concerns are (1) The width of my wheels, if an R-4 is available in the sizes I need. Front = 7-14; rear = 11.2 - 24. I'm afraid that my present wheels...

After pricing around, I bought a couple of new toys for my 1715 Ford from the local Case IH dealer. A friend accompanied me when I went to p/u the attachments, & he was also impressed with their prices, leaving there considerably lighter in the checkbook. The salesman noticed me looking at their...

Friend who doesn't fool with computers, has a 5210 with VERY slow or not at all responding 3ph. Neither of us very "tractor savvy", so was wondering if we could get any advice on what might be the problem. Power steering, & fel are both OK, which we think would rule out a plugged hyd. filter; &...
