Hi folks - there's a fill plug on my 2014 RTV x1100c that is impossible to get to without removing a bunch of "stuff" (sorry for the high tech jargon). I haven't found info about it either. It is near the oil fill plug and is also labelled "oil" (I think). While standing on the right side of...

Looking for what people use to brushhog (brush mowers) trails -- I have about 9 miles of trails - all accessible by atvs, tractors, etc... but a lot of them are steep; I generally only use a tracked atv, tracked Kubota RTV, or excavator... There are places where wheeled vehicles are either going...

B3200HSD Loader Lever Block and curl control ball link replacement. Big ask -- hoping someone can tell me how to actually replace a failed part. PIA in terms of space and access. The ball link (part of loader lever control assembly) that controls my loader curl failed. The screw that goes into...

hi folks -- in the I am spoiled and lucky dept..... I just traded my KX161 (2007 model) for a brand new KX057-5 model... Can't seem to find manuals for this model online -- I have the KX057-4 stuff but the 057 cab is completely different. Any help would of course be greatly appreciated.. Also...

Hi folks - hope this question is not too far out there. I have a Kubota ZD1211-60 diesel zero turn mower -- awesome btw - I use it to mow about 10 acres of lawns and fields (bumpy but fun). Yesterday, one of the deck side pullies (drive belt contact point for one of the 3 blades) literally...

A quick thank you to all the people who have posted their experiences and knowledge about Kubota safety switches; really appreciated as info found here saved the day for me; my 2012 Kubtoa B3200HSD quit on me yesterday (first time ever in almost 9 years) when I left the seat. I assumed I had hit...

hi folks - I am told that a skeleton bucket is great for picking up firewood. Assuming this is true...if I am looking to load a dump trailer with firewood, any advantages / disadvantages between one for a FEL versus one for a 12K excavator. Obviously, if I am looking to transport in the bucket...

Hi folks - I have a 2007 Kubota M5040HDC (cabbed -yes I am spoiled). The bucket that came with the LA1153 loader is 72" wide and roughly 26" deep and high. A bunch of welds are coming apart so I am toying with the idea of just fixing it or getting a new bucket. If new, I am wondering how big a...

hi - have used hooks on FEL buckets for decades (yes - I am old). now, as I am using a plow instead of a bucket, I am looking for FEL hooks* - I am guessing I could just weld some up - but am looking to learn how others have dealt with this. Another option is to weld a cross beam onto the FEL...

hi folks - ask first / search afterwards :) I have driven tractors and excavators my whole life but have never used a plow on the end of my front end loader (instead of bucket) until today so.... am looking for operating tips - have plowed with trucks (and a side by side) for years. Looking...

Hi folks -- I just bought an 88" Alamo Flail Mower for my Kubota M5040 (with cab). The manual says to use chains for the 3PT lift arms if the 3PT can't "float". Anyone have experience / advice on this matter. Really appreciated. thanks -- josh

hi folks; new to this forum and know next to nothing (okay nothing) about excavators. Looking for mini ex advice. sorry in advance for the long post. I am looking at purchasing a Kubota KX161-3R4AS (2009 750hrs) for 45K from local dealer. Dealer is awesome -- I have 3 other Kubotas from them...

Hi -- I know this question has been asked a lot so I apologize in advance for adding to the frequency. I have a Kubota 5040HDC with backhoe and brush hog and loader. It's great but too big for simple mowing. I am looking for something with a mid deck mower plus a FEL for "light duty". Big...

hi -- another newbie question. in terms of resale value is a Kubota cab worth the extra money? I'm told they have to be ordered with the tractor Are there any good 3rd party cabs for a m4900 or m5700? what about manuverability issues in the woods? other disadvantages? thanks josh
