Ok.. I’ve been looking all over for a side link and it appears that I’ve totally missed the bus. My fixed side link is 19 or 20 inches depending on which hole I use on the fork. As I understand the use of a side link, it would be best to have 4-5 inches of movement at least…. Some have said...

Yea the rattler is for sure a concern. In 17 years I have only seen one here…. But copperheads I have seen dozens… so yea I watch out carefully!! I used to have a small 5 ft finish mower that used on the little Kubota.. it was ok.. but that mower went to a new home 10 years ago..

Which ones do you have? At 6500lbs I think that is pretty heavy for a small tractor. Thanks!

So I’m struggling to choose between a boom mower, or an offset flail. My tractor has 2 rear remotes and I’ve got a Yanmar yt359C. Yanmar specs say 52hp pto some other sources say 46… Yesterday I spent 3 hours weed-eating where either of these could have made it maybe 30 min or so.. a lot of...

I’m curious. Has anyone here put a GMRS RADIO in your tractor cab? We are fairly mountainous. And cell coverage is not so good… so I’ve considered it… Thanks.

Just a little brush moving and tree jousting! Working on cleaning up some property.

Hello! Many times an issue will hit us and not always does someone find it, and fix it and post it.. so here is mine.. The factory 3rd function on the 359c wasn’t working with a new grapple.. so I wondered if it was a blocked hose, etc After checking everything I could think of, I started...

That’s what I said too.. still trying to figure Retta out

Like this one.. I’m like no way...

Added an auger bit…

Edit— add.. I was told he just added it to his 3 point hitch post hole digger….

Ok.. I saw this auger bit that someone supposedly used on a Facebook post for a stump grinding.. the more question I asked, the more I doubted… To save yall the collective bung output, I wonder have yall seen a bit used for that?

I do like it.. I need to buy a hydro limiter though.. I’d recommend you get one..

What is the thickest liquid you’ve used that HF pump on? I’m considering that for my next hydro change…

Maybe identify the worst parts and do them and just little each spring and fall…

Ok… I was wondering if you made a home made roller for the 3PH.. someone here or on a FB group did that… And filled it with concrete.. it had to be 1500 lbs.

What do you use for a wheel roller?

If it is that rough and painful, why not use a pulverizer or similar and smooth it? If it’s beating you, how bad is it on the equipment?

Everyone has opinions.. what varies is the acceptance of yours by others or others by you. We should all strive to agree to have disagreements but be adults about it..

Well, if you have been watching closely, you’d have seen I recently upgraded tractors from a 34 hp to a 59hp with a cab.. And rear hydraulics.. Its a whole new world.. and many formerly not possible attachments. I will soon be cutting 8-10 more trees.. and I need to just consider spending the...

follow up for all of you.. 1. Yea the deposit is not really a big deal if you know upfront.. which I wasn’t told about until checking out.. yea I get it.. 2. I was told HD in Atlanta lost ALL their HE.. tractor, bobcat x3, mini-ex x2, truck, van, stump grinder x2, so they raised the deposit to...

Update.. rented a stump grinder, used the tractor and dug down a foot or so lower than the current ground level, then ground it.. got this picture of my son helping rinse the grinder before going back to HD.. I’ll likely NEVER rent from them again.. $1k deposit.. and the have a $1500 deposit...

The problem is getting a big excavator to us.. the road is a single lane gravel… and the driveway has switchbacks.. So large stuff is tough… I think the grinding and cover might be my path..

Less than 2 months old.. cut to clear the area for this new ramp..

Yea. I am also wondering if the tank could ever be neutralized… I’m gonna do something unique to spray … I have a hitch packer we sometimes use when going to the beach… I’m gonna throw it on the 3PH Reese hitch and put the tank on that.. then I can use the cabbed tractor….. I was using the...

I should have also said that there is 1 concern… the water line to the well crosses right before the stump near the tires…

I’m actually going to be adding dirt and ramping this..

Well, I am surprised by this… I was cleaning out the back of the shop, and found a 30 gallon sprayer tank and it was tagged glyphosate mixed with 24D and water 40, 40, 20.. it is about 3/4 full.. now the date on that sharpied tag was 2022.. and frankly I don’t even think that date is right...

Hello! I’m working on regrading a bank and removing some stumps. They are all 18-26 inch diameter. Plans are one of the following. 1. Rent a mini ex and dig the entire stump and use the tractor and chain to pull it out. 2. Rent a mini ex and dig it deep, cut it and pull out whatever I can. 3...

It’s been great… I’m at 45 hours now.. will have a regen anytime now… and will be doing the 50’hour fluids soon too…

It’s pretty new…. But earning its keep… it replaces the kubota in the pictures…

Wow… found a box of all sizes on Amazon….

What are those? Never heard that before

Tiller I know. And said that.. I mis-typed. The second part should have said post hole digger…

Where did you get those restrictors?

That’s what I expected for the tiller… it does have a slip clutch.. I’ll have to use it in the next week.. And it would soo much nicer in the new cab tractor

Hello TBN! I got a deal a couple years ago on a RTR1258 tiller and post hole digger.. But since I’ve upgraded my tractor with a 30hp PTO to a tractor with a 50-52HP PTO.. The tiller is rated up to 40HP, so I’ll replace it, but I can’t find a PTO hp rating for the tiller… I figured the wisdom...

So I’ve been thinking about a quick hitch…. I’ve used a Pat’s easy hitch for nearly 20 years.. but lately I’ve changed tractors and got a few more attachments.. and my new tractor has a hydro top link… The top link complicates things a little when switching attachments.. I think my bushhog...

I bought a post puller from titan. It is hydraulic and on my little kubota— 1-2 inch trees pop out easily. I pulled all this stuff out and dropped near by the pulled location then used a grapple to stack.. some I pushed over and a couple I had to cut.

Yea. I moved to an AR-10 due to bears… I walked up on momma and cubs a couple years ago while stretching outside the cab….

What did you use for the “tube”? I need to do that… But I do have a cab, and will keep a couple things in the cab..

I don’t remember who else was looking for info about the Hudraulic Top link for a YT359c… But mine came in.. and was on and working in less than 20 min.. I got it from Agristoreusa .com Top link SKU 06004. 20 7/8 to 31 7/8 I got this length as the 27" max on the factory one was too short with...

Valid comment.. and depends on where I am..or if it’s raining, snow.. etc. it’s not much different using those tools to release versus breaking the seal.. I see both sides.. I see the 2 tools as faster than breaking it loose and tightening..

I didn’t get the tractor in the pictures… But this is the wood moved and stacked today. 14 logs at 10-12 feet each.. poplar and white oak..

I respectfully disagree.. Yesterday’s struggle was on 2 different attachments…. The post puller and the grapple. They were pulled off when it was cold… and it got HOT.. so the hydro expanded… On the Yanmar I have, all the attachment side are male ends with the female ends on the tractor. IF I...

I have lots of shooting ear pro… it gets hot during the summer….

I see all your points.. and yes, always a cheaper way…

Rick…. I’m around the corner… I know the owner of 4x4 and got my 359c from them a few weeks back.. I’ve bought many tools there over the years.. tractor, WR LONG attachments, chainsaws, weed eaters and so much more.. even a Polaris UTV, and snow plow.. It would be funny if we knew each other...

The only issue I have with the factory is no blue tooth!

Question.. has anyone put a vinyl hose On the output fitting to keep from spilling or shooting it everywhere?

welp… after swapping EVERY FEL attachment today multiple times to get work done, when the grapple did not want to connect back on, I got uber frustrated.. Bought the hydro tool from here and found this one—...

I ordered a set of these today.. After nearly pulling a muscle and then getting hot hydro shot in my face… this is easier than a burn..

Yes. I have a tree guy and will be removing 3-4 trees and getting that little tree gone on top of the bank..

After years and years of this bank washing and covering the gravel to the shop… I finally dug out the bank… we have about 5 ft of property to the property line.. and I’ll use all that dirt and then put up a small retaining wall… The new Yanmar YT359c DID GREAT… if I’m right a heavy heaped...

The old bota L3400 nose to nose with the Yanmar…

A few years ago a neighbor told me about how a local contractor wanted $2200 for gravel and grading.. I told them I’d help..leveled with the tractor.. maybe 1 hr from leaving the shop to back in the shop.. took 4 loads on the dump trailer… about 14 TONS.. and spread it and smoothed it with the...

I’m looking at doing those to jockey trailers and not have to swap out to the 3PH Reese adapter.. thoughts?

I pulled the trigger.. they delivered last week. I’m 6.5 hours on it and what a beast compared to my old L3400 Kubota. The bucket of dirt would be 2-2.5 on my bota and it would not lift a heaped load like that.. Glad I did it!

Yep…. Where I live with the hills, without a repeater, no radio will work.

I was wondering .. what has everyone done for a radio? Factory? Or some third party?

The new tractor — a Yanmar yt359C has the ability to set the PTO speed outside of engine RPM. It’s really slick

I missed that.. likely a new sport.. speed tilling…

I went to a higher HP.. not a lower…

Good evening! I just upgraded in a major way.. Kubota 2006 L3400 to a 2024 Yanmar YT359C. So 29 HP PTO to 52 HP.. I have a 25-40 Hp tiller— and RTR1258. I don’t use it a lot.. and it has a slip clutch… A few people have told me it will work fine.. but one said no.. don’t do it.. What’s the...

Well I went and drove a YT359C around the lot today.. that’s is gonna be a real muscle memory change.. 18’years on L3400… and the things I could feel a power reduction didn’t phase that tractor.. I’m 99% sold.. I’ll have to replace my tiller.. and box blade and maybe my landplane… Maybe get...

What has better resale value? And what about maint costs?

I’m looking.. and asking opinions…. Hit me with em…

Update. Today I was down in SC doing some property clean up.. I had 1/2 to 3/4 tank of fuel.. after 2 hours or hard work, it starting bogging down.. on flat ground… I remembered the lift pump note here, and went and filled the tank.. BAM.. no more issues… so I think the lift pump is it! I...

Compared to all y’all I’m the new kid! But 2008… now I don’t know if my member number is the new one… or the one I started with as my ISP went belly out and I had to get Muhammad to fix it… I was even the member of the month once… got a hat and some stickers somewhere!

I got my post puller last week.. still haven’t had a chance to try it…. The weather hasn’t cooperated!

Update… Yesterday I ran down the drive and back up.. nothing added to the fuel… it bogged down… came back to the shop.. this afternoon I added bioclean to the tank.. the bottle says it treats 100 gallons.. I added maybe 1/8 of the bottle … more than a splash… less than a pour.. Nothing...

I have never changed the width of the ags, so if there is an adjustment… I had no idea!! I’m gonna look in my manual now..

I’m looking out about 6 months for a plan to change out my L3400 tires. Currently have R1s and I’m considering R4. I’d think the R4s would better handle sticks and brush than R1s. I know R4s will require new rims, and I’m sure that this will be a pain. So questions- 1. Will the R4 make the...

I just checked and it appears they are less than $100…. When I get back to the property I need to check the fuel level and see if I can reproduce with less than a full tank.. maybe even pump some out and try it.. and then fill it and try it.. if it is reproduceable, just order it.. maybe the...

I just did some googling and it appears that there is a lift pump in it.. and one thread said it is common for it to fail…

I can see that… in my case I’m clearing small trees out.. there is 50-100 I’m gonna do.. in this case if it works well.. I can pull it.. back up drop it.. then later use the grapple to stack them, for eventual dumping at the mulch yard or landfill.. That would be a tiresome process if I had to...

First time I added bioclean to it and waited 2 days, changed fuel filter, added normal diesel additive and then filled the tank.. and then let it idle 10 min before working it hard… I think that was extreme… now I admit it doesn’t get run like it used to.. maybe 3-4 hours a month.. where it...

What size tractor is that? Does it really work that well?

Good/bad? What size tractor have you used it on? From the reviews it seems like my L3400 should be fine pulling up to 4-5 inch small trees.. mostly poplars I have to deal with..

So I got a little work done at the property… And I decided that the many small trees might be best handled by the titan post puller.. https://www.palletforks.com/skid-steers/forestry-equipment/post-and-tree-puller-for-skid-steers-universal-landscape-tool/198110.html Anyone else have one?

So— today we met a man that USED TO RUN this exact saw… and strangely he still has the motor for it… It is a McCulloch 2 man saw….

I’m pretty sure I’ll find lots of other stuff… check this one out..

Well we are exploring a property we have purchased and are finding lots of really old and unique items… This particular saw body is one of them.. today I was in a hurry and just grabbed this picture… but zoomed in it is some kind of chainsaw … I’m told bow saw, brush chain saw.. but I’m not...

Yes it is 18 ft with a 2 ft dive tail. Bushhog is 525( from its spec sheet) Box is about 415 from its spec sheet.. Putting me about 4300 with bushhog 1700 lbs under max ~72% of the Trailer capacity at 6k Tractor weight was 3800 with loaded tires, and box and grapple.. took it and weighed...

I was looking at that… but decided to not load the truck to max.. The trailer is 16+2 dove.. effectively an 18… Also I really don’t want to “tempt” myself pulling anything but this tractor.. no Skid-steer, no mini ex..

A few notes— 1. Tractor has loaded tires. 2. I moved it before with a borrowed 16ft just the box and loader. That trailer was an overbuilt landscape trailer… it had 3500 lb axles, but brakes on 1 axle only. And the tractor had 10-12 inches to spare. It carried it well… but didn’t like the...

that’s what I was thinking.. Mine is 18 ft with a 2 ft dovetail. Thanks!

That is what I intend… but I have a longer trailer and as someone else said.. a “load stop” in the front. I think yours is maybe 12-14 feet?

Yes. The dealer for the trailer and I are good friends… we talked at length and then measured and I think this will work… With the bush hog sitting all the way forward, and the tractor driven up on the trailer so the loader is OVER the bushhog, with the loader down resting on a platform over...

I will be hauling a box blade on the back… The tractor with the bushhog and grapple is 23 ft long from tip to tailwheel.. 21ft without tailwheel counted.. problem is I have nowhere to store a 22 ft or longer trailer and I don’t think I can get it up my current curvy driveway….

Hey folks— I’m finally going to me moving the equipment on a regular basis… New property is 25-30 miles down the road so I’ve bought a nice 16+2 trailer. 6k load rating for my L3400, did the math and it should be less than 5k with that I plan to move regularly.. But I do have a few thoughts I...

We are buying some land and this is just one of many finds… most of the rest we have a disposal method or ability to sell… right now you can’t even get to the tire due to the over growth… but a bush hog and some time will fix that…. Edit to add—What do you mean about the firing range… that is...

I doubt it… it has some visible damage on the sidewall

Sounds like I’m gonna be in for some serious work.. I looked at removing the tank. Shouldn’t be too bad.. It has about 7 gallons in it now… But what do I do with that fuel?

Good late Friday evening! Got a little head scratcher going on.. My little 3400 is having power loss when going uphill.. It happened before.. and I’m wondering what else I can do.. Last time I was sure it was a fungus growth in the tank.. so I put a helping of bio clean in, changed the fuel...

hey folks, not sure where the regional forums went-- so I thought I would post this here. Sat in Inman SC there is an equipment auction.. there are details and maps at Johnny King Auctioneers - Johnny King Auctioneers for the record-- I am not affiliated or otherwise associated with the...

hey folks, I saw a thread here about a concrete mixer and it reminded me... Down on the old logging road on our property there is an ancient mixer. Right now, I can't remember if the tub was the rotating element or the arms. Which will tell me which kind of mixer it really is.... After...

Hello folks, I've been on here a year and read tons and tons of posts and even posted a couple hundred times myself.. And everyone has been so helpful-- from Curly Dave to Eddie Walker and Bird-- so many more to name.. Thanks to you all.. To that end, I have posted a couple questions about...

After seeing some 8 and 9 year old threads pop to the top again.. I was wondering if there is a way the system can be modified so that the original poster can close a thread? IE I ask about a box blade, and get all my answers and make my purchase. then I close the thread. so that 6 months, a...

hey folks, I have been looking around for a chipper and thinking about it.. I checked out craigslist and found one for $1400. It is a farm all. Does anyone have any experience with it? From other research, it looks like a new Jinma can be had for about $1600. so given those choices, what's...

Today brought a special project... At our new house the lot behind us was excavated about 3 years ago for a house with a basement.. Well, 3 years later the hole is there, the lot is still empty and the hole fills with a dangeours water puddle.. read that as at least 2 feet deep at times.. Now...

It is interesting that I saw the hung trees post pop up on the other sections.. With our recent snow, we had a power outage... As always when we have an outage, one of us will drive the old logging road power comes up and look for a tree down.. This time we found no trees on the power lines...

Folks, I was reading another post and I have a question or 3... http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/rural-living/126141-neighbor-fence-my-land.html On my property the neighbor put up a split rail fence right on the property line... Not a problem for me, I actually like it and may even hook...

Hey Folks, I was reading another post: http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/1380409-post1077.html and it mentioned that Kubota warranty not covering if you used a non-kubota implement.. Now for me that is too late.. But is this true? I never saw nor could I find this in my books.. does anyone...

hey folks, been giving this a little thought lately.. At our new house there are no windows or ways to see the driveway area. We have 3 S-Curves coming up the drive and you can't even hear anyone coming up the drive.. So this has led me to see what is out there.. northern tool has this one...

ok.. maybe the title is a bit aggressive.. But let me tell the story... Let's set the stage: I live in Western NC, and we are surrounded by woods on all sides. There are about 50 ac around us, and only 8 or 9 houses. Of those 6, are in a 10 acre area footprint. We have a flock of 20-30...

Ok Folks, I have been reading a lot of threads and my head is about to burst.. I see this thread http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/hydraulics/133623-wr-long-electrohydro-valve.html#post1541033 during all the reading, 3RRL's post about the grapple for his wife was one of the big time list of...

hey folks, I was just thinking about buying some hay to put out in the yard to cover where I am going to throw grass seed etc.. Now I know it is the dead of winter.. But we have had so much rain I was just thinking about it now.. So after a little thinking and some reading on the net, there...

hey folks, It's that time of year.. and I am such a newby... I have read all kinds of posts on here about to use additive, and not to use additives... And well, I just cranked the L3400 yesterday for the first time in a month.. It was fairly cool but not below freezing somewhere 38-43.... Had...

folks, I am finishing up a house in the foothills of Western NC.. And I have a "few" logs to deal with again... For the first 30-40 logs I did not have a tractor and just cut where they laid and spent lots of time moving it all around.. And now, a nice L3400 HST with a FEL.... With about 25 logs...

hello folks, Well today brought a slight panic when I was trying to start the ole L3400.. truthfully she ain't that old---only 140 hours.... Let me set the picture for ya. it just about dark, I was on the tractor wanting to use it to pull by small cargo trailer from the back of the new house to...

hey folks, I am rapidly learning that I need a backhoe. I am not sure if I should go for a tractor version, or a small mini-ex.. Our property is on the side of a mountain, and the L3400 was bought just to maintain the road and do other tasks. However, recently the weather has dealt me a few...

Hey folks, I have been on here for quite some time now and I'm up to 105 hours on the new L3400 HST with 5ftBB, LA463 loader. all the advice on here has truly helped me more than I could ever type here. So kudos to all of you!!!! But I have a couple of questions that I hope to get some good...

WOW, I got an unbelievable gift today- A 4 foot side discharge finish mower. This is going to go behind my kubota L3400, so it is not the ideal width but MAN I could not say no! Now as some of you know, this is my first tractor, and I am not quite to 100 hours yet. With that said, this is also...

Hey folks, It feels like just a week or 2 ago I wrote saying I finished the 50 hour maint. Well, today I topped 89 hours, and I wanted to be ready for the 100 hour maint. After looking at the book, I noticed the only thing I have never done before- cleaning a diesel fuel filter. now from other...

Ok- I think the title may just get a few strange looks.. But I am building on the side of a mountain and there is a mile long driveway with some wicked curves and steep banks on the road sides. So to make long story short- after 4 hours of weed eating, 3 hours of loader work cleaning it all up...

Ok, I did something and I just don't know what else to expect as far as damage.- A little background may help first: For the past couple of weeks, as time permits I have been down at our new home construction site moving dirt and rocks. this week I took a week of vacation to get many...

Hey folks, I have a bit of a weird one here.. not sure how it happened, but after a long day of digging the HST pedal bolts grew loose. and the factory adjustment is not there now. After reading the owner's guide it says not to adjust the bolt on the floor, so I would assume there must be some...

hey folks, I am about to start filling in around the walls of our new house. We used all the dirt we pulled out for road work and other tasks. The goal was to save it, and due to weather and washing and other problems, we had to use it. We are not it a pinch, but if we start now a load or 2 at...

Hey folks, I am looking into a hydralic top link.. But the budget is just not there right now.. So I was over at Northern tool today and ran across this: Northern Industrial Heavy-Duty Ratchet Jack, Model# 2608S000 | Hydraulic Accessories | Northern Tool + Equipment And it gave me an idea... I...

Hey folks, I have a small hydro leak and was wondering what the consensus was on how common this is and a few other questions..... As a newbie and this being my first tractor, it goes without saying I had to ask all of you a few questions. I have read literally hundreds of posts on here and...

Hello, I am a newbie and after reading all the posts here and having gained a little seat time on a very challenging road maintenance project the top n tilt project is looking awefully nice... I have a new 3400 HST with an LA463 FEL. With that said, I found the power beyond port. so I have...

I saw this on another thread and I have to ask what is a top n tilt? It was mentioned that it would be a better solution for changing the tilt on a box blade.... I am really doing alot of jumping off and on my tractor to change this now, so if this thing is not too $$. I think it would be...
