So I have some stuff in my fuel ( Kubota L3540) , I tried to siphon it out to no avail and I really dont want to pull the tank so I was wondering of I could vacuum it out with my shop vac??? What do you think?

Kubota 3540 diesel.. Ok, my manual sats when I need to bleed the fuel system, I need to open the breather valve on the fuel pump, start the tractor and let it run about 30 seconds then shut the air release valve. So I do exactly that and it will run for about 30 seconds or so and then die, and I...

I have an L3540 Hydrostatic 4 wheel drive tractor, have had it maybe 8-9 years. This problem seems new or has been slowly getting worse and I'm just starting to notice it.. When I have a mower on and either going on flat land or downhill it seems to be fine, BUT on even a slight upgrade I seem...

I picked up a new fuel filter and cleaned the outer air filter and reinstalled them both. The manual says to open the airbleed on the fuel pump and open the petcock for the fuel bowl/filter (I have done this many times without issue) Today I went through the bleeding procedure but, here's the...

So when I first bought this property it was almost all woods with some trails, I wanted a mower that wouldn't stick out so far behind my tractor for the tight turns on the trails. I bought a Caroni Flail mower for just that reason, seemed to work fine although you had to go pretty slow with it...

Ok, I have a Kubota L3540 HST with loader. Changed the trans/hydraulic fluid and filters today. Followed my manual to the letter, drained the system, R&R both filters, the book says it takes 11.1 gallons of fluid, I put in 10 gallons and the dipstick says I'm quite a bit overfilled. Let it run...

So I have a TM1900 Caroni flail, I've had it 6 or 7 years. Seems to go through a lot of belts! I've been using Gates B43 Hi-power ll belts and getting ready to install a new set..again. So my questions are, does everyone use this belt or do you use another, and what tension do you set it at? I...

So I sold my Harley of many years and bought a new toy, at least its a convertible! Getting older and the Harley was not getting any lighter, and more and more idiots out on the road!! So now we have Big Red, and Little Red!

So the wife mentioned she was thinking about getting me a wood lathe for Christmas , Hmmm.. do not know much about them. I played with them in high school but that was almost 40 years ago! I do have a pretty much complete wood shop, in fact I have 100 acres with lots of trees, a sawmill, and...

Didn't know we had a video section..

Ok so I've had this mower for 6 years now, hard to believe its that old so I had to look it up to be sure, anyway... It only gets used maybe 2-3 times a year to mow a couple fields and a few trails through the woods. I have never really done anything to it except grease it and keep it clean, oh...

Alright, time to start on my shooting deck! I have backstop berms set out at 100 & 300 yards and now I need a place to shoot from so I'm building a deck out in the middle of nowhere. I'm also planning a second story deer blind up on part of it which will allow me to hunt this whole field. Like...

I've posted parts of this over in Tractors and wood but thought I'd try to just post my little project. I've a 34x40 barn that is so full I can hardly do anything out there without moving something or tripping over something and something needed to be done! I have a little concrete pad out here...

So I just got a new pair of front tires for my tractor. They are 10-16.5 R4 industrial/loader tires going on a Kubota L3540 with a FEL. My manual says inflate to 20 pounds, my old tires had a max inflation pressure of 45 pounds, these new tires have a max pressure of 75. The tire guy says not...

I'm in north central South Carolina and our "dirt/soil" is sand.. not sandy dirt but just sand.. like on the beach! Been here 5 years now and cant grow a food plot to save my soul! I'll get everything disked up, add nutrients as needed plant, tractor-pack (cultipack) , try to get all that done...

OK, question on a leak on my tractor. Background: L3540 with hydrostat and about 900 hours. So under the tractor there is a little loose pin I believe used for draining water that gets caught up in there somewhere. You push it up and it will release the water (from where I've no clue) anyway, I...

So how do I reset the "service inspect" on my dash, I know I've reset it before after service but I cant find reference to it in my manual OR shop manual!! So If you know how , tell me, and if you know where it is in my manual let me know so I can highlight it, Thanks!

So I don't have a cultipacker.. someday maybe.. So I devised my own method on my food plots...TRACTORPACKER!! So I disc if needed, harrow, seed, and then just drive back and forth till I press all the seed into the soil , ok maybe not soil, more like slightly dirty sand And here's a...

So I'm still looking for a decent mower, the 425 I was looking at seemed too much of a gamble , so I have 2 different ones I'm looking at. A GT225 with a bagger for $1700 (waiting to hear what year and hours), and a X304 without bagger for $1800. The X304 is a 2014 with 316 hours. I mow maybe...

Trying to find a used mower, I mow 3-4 acres, mostly flat but with lots of obstacles. I have an inground pool so I'm also wanting a collection system to keep stuff from blowing in the pool. I found a JD425 all wheel steer with 20hp liquid cooled Kawasaki a 54" deck and the powerflo bagger...

So I have a Toro Proline 220, its older and has been doing fine but lately seems like its getting starved for fuel. It will start up and run, I'll start mowing then it decides to stall out... If I choke it however it'll run again for a bit, then does it again...finally I'll have to keep it...

Looking for a basic seeder spreader to put on my L3540. Using it mainly to plant and maintain several food plots and small fields. 3-400 capacity is probably fine, spreading seed fertilizer, and probably pelletized lime. I see some have the option for full spread, and left or right spread...

So where I live its like living on the beach (only my 2nd year here), everything is sand! Just pulled out my Toro Pro line 220, went to sharpen the blades and holy camoly were they worn down. I sharpened them mid way through last year and only mow a couple acres every few weeks but these blades...

So finally getting ready to order tires for my 220, having trouble finding front ag style tires . My tires now say 20x8-10, everytime I google those it it changes the number to 20x10-8.. will they fit? Xfaxman... help! ;-) I really want the ag tires cause my traction stinks! Thanks.

So I'm having a concrete slab removed from an addition we tore off of the house. Expensive to have that concrete hauled off so I'm wanting to dig a hole to bury it. I've never tried to dig a hole with any of my tractors, but I'm sure it can be done, right? I have a Kubota 3540 with the 724...

Looking to buy (maybe) a pole saw. Gas, probably adjustable length, $500-$600 ish price range I guess. Brand names I'm thinking are Stihl, Echo, and Husqvarna in that order probably as those are the ones I'm familiar with. I've 2 Stihl chainsaws, and one Echo. Never owned a Husqvarna but I've...

Ok, Kubota 3540W LA724 loader, owned it about 6 months. 450 hrs Look at the pics cause my terminology is most likely wrong :eek:. You will see the pivot pin working its way out of the hole, this is the second time I've had to replace the bolt holding it in. Granted I replaced it with probably...

So I had about 7 acres cleared out of my pine woods to turn into my own private hunting field, trying to set it up for turkey, deer, and quail. Just got my soil test back and it recommends 4700 pounds per acre of lime!! Holy camoly!!!!! Thats right at 33,000 pounds or 16 1/2 tons of lime... I...

So I'm working on a deal for this 6 foot rear blade, I have not seen it in person yet, just these phone pics. No markings on it as to who made it that the guy can see. Looks like it is an offset blade by the front half moon, also looks like from the rear it will angle up and down as well as...

Well. seeing that there is no way to list something for sale in the private party ads section, thought I'd put it here... Work Shop Manual for sale for the L3010 Kubota series, Genuine Kubota manual, covers 3010, 3410,3710, 4310, & 4610. Also included is the WSM for the LA481 loader which also...

So I bought this old Proline 220 mower and have been nursing it back to health, thought I was about done! Well I went to do some mowing the other day and the PTO drivebelt gave way.. RATS.. I ordered a new belt, it is on its way, but I can find no reference to how to change it anywhere.. nothing...

I've found a Linebach Line box frame disc, screw adjust, locally, slightly used for $1200, or new for $1600.. Right size for my L3540 tractor, how's the quality on these? anyone have one that they've been using for a couple years? how does it hold up?

I'm having difficulty with the breakout force on the bucket on my Kubota L3540 with a LA724 loader with the QD bucket system. Just got the tractor back from the dealer, they went through the whole hydraulic system and also turned the pressure to max specs.. the problem is still there. The...

Well my Kubota is in the shop, so can I ask a lawn mower question?? Ah, good... here goes.. Troy bilt wide cut walk behind, 8 1/2 hp Briggs... old!! I've had it about 17 years and it was used when I got it! Billions and billions of miles!:D So when I go to use it, turn the key on, choke it and...

Well looking for my next implement a disc... found a nice Howse 8' unit used for a good price, but I'm wondering if its too big for my Kubota L3540? Mostly sandy soil, not much in the way of rocks or clay. Also, a guy has a couple 6 footers that fold in the middle, so the rear gang of discs...

So I picked up a Woods GSS72 Grading Scraper (Land Plane) yesterday to do some roadwork (new roads) and level a new field (http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/attachments/341417-field-cleaning-thoughts.html). I got the unit home, unloaded it, and took it out to play a bit. Tried it on my gravel...

Sorry ,I have a couple other threads on here about the same thing.. having trouble making up my mind! http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/attachments/341482-box-blade-roll-over-box.html http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/attachments/341417-field-cleaning-thoughts.html Now.. I'm leaning towards...

I just had a couple fields cut out of the woods (http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/attachments/341417-field-cleaning-thoughts.html) and I'm needing to smooth them out along with some new "service" roads, I keep coming up with new ideas and thoughts on how to do this. Box blades are easily...

I just had 2 fields cleared out of my woods, one about 7 acres for my deer hunting field, and another a bit over 1/2 acre for my shooting range. It was all a pine "plantation". Had the timber company come in and take the trees, then a guy with a dozer and a track hoe to get the stumps out and...

Kubota L3540 HST/L724 FEL Having loader problems. All works fine except seems like there is no breakout force! I can pick up a bucket full of wet sand (plenty of power), leave it raised for hours with no bleed down to speak of (no internal leaking) , but say I use my grapple to pry a big root...

Been mowing for years with a troybuilt 33" wide cut walk behind, it finally bit the dust the other day so I'm looking. I was all set to get another big walk behind, but the wife reminded me I wasn't getting any younger. I'll be 60 this fall and seeing as I've been using this last mower for 15...

Looking at one of these sun guard canopies for my Kubota L3540 Kubota tractor canopies One of the reasons I like this one is I can mount it below the top of my ROPS. Both my barn overhang and metal shop have a door that my ROPS just barely clear. I'd like one a little bigger but they all mount...

Background: L3540 with a LA724 loader, Front remote for grapple or whatever,I bought it with 340 hrs, it just turned over 400 hrs. Tractor runs/operates fine with one exception. My loader has plenty of lifting power, curling power a definite issue. Turn the bucket face down on the ground and...

I forget if this is what the guy called it, or rotating, tumbling.. something... anyway.. Its like a box blade, but it can rotate to 3 positions, blade in rear like any box blade, teeth down (no blade on ground just teeth), and blade in front for more of a finish grading (I guess anyway). I'm...

Some may call it a landscape rake but to me its a rock rake. Anyway, we just moved cross country and sold my tractor and implements before we moved cause they wanted too much to move them. So when I got here I got a new and improved tractor ,L3540, but when I bought my rake.. my most used...

So I'm looking to run some electrical wire (and someday some waterpipe probably) out in my yard. My soil here is mostly sand did a search and came up with the subsoiler/pipe layer combo at Agrisupply (see below). My thought was maybe a middle buster/subsoiler combo but cant seem to find one...

Ok, so I replaced a 4n1 bucket with a grapple a while back. But when I did the quick connects were sized wrong to work together. I swaped them out, tractor side and grapple side with the standard 1/2 connects... new ones. The problem I'm having is sometimes its almost impossible to slide the...

Ok Kubota L3540 HST with the LA724 loader.350ish hours All seemed fine earlier today, but at the end of the day the loader did not want to go down. Up, dump, and roll back all seems fine, just barely will go down. Almost seems more mechanical than hydraulic. If I push forward normally on the...

So I know I posted some pics of a little field I mowed when I first got this thing, but I finally got a chance to use it as it was intended,, or bought for anyway. Ooops, its the 73" Caroni Flail mower from Agrisupply. I bought 100 acres in South Carolina, lots of this area is in "pine...

So I bought my tractor and it came with a regular bucket and a 4 N 1 bucket, after a few attempts I pretty much gave up on the 4n1 and it just sat here. well I did some asking and research here and seems to me a grapple would better serve my purposes so I decided to sell the 4n1 and get a...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ok, I have a Kubota L3540 with the smallish Kubota (metric probably) quick disconnects for a end of loader mounted implement (had a WR Long 4 in 1 bucket up there) , anyway, I just traded it for a 4' root grapple...

So my Gen-U-Wine 73 inch Caroni flail mower finally arrived today... and it doesn't work!! I'll get to that in a minute.. So I'm working about the place today trying to clean some stuff up, get some posts in the ground and get a dog fence up... beat myself up a bit and then the delivery guy...

OK, not sure if this is the right place for this, but I'll be using a 3ph auger on my Kubota to drill the holes, and thats an attachment right?..:D Ok, putting up a fence here at my new place in South Carolina, I'm new to South Carolina and to the new soil under my feet. The power company was...

So I just bought a 3ph post hole digger/auger from TSC. Haven't messed with it as of yet.. tomorrow probably. So once I get it on there, how do I go about taking it off and parking it while making it reasonably easy to re hook up? Brushhogs, discs ect just sit there till next time.. this I dont...

So with a lot of urging from folks here, and especially Island Tractor who is very willing to spend my money:laughing::D I called Agrisupply a week ago Monday and ordered a 73" Caroni flail mower. Very excited to try out this new to me device, only ever before used rotary cutters(brush hogs) and...

So I've decided to sell my 4n1 WR Long bucket to try to fund a grapple instead. Yes its in the classifieds, or just give me a shout if you want it... So there are a multitude of grapples out there and I'm wondering what you guys that have them like. First off its going on a Kubota L3540 37hp...

Saw this mentioned somewhere , you'd get down pressure, be able to aim better I would think, ability to reach in better to somewhere. My question is what drives it?? Hydraulics? How much is needed... seems to me this just might get stupid expensive...:confused2:

So I bought a new to me tractor with a WR Long UJ2-62WR 4 in 1 bucket, but with the mess I have in some of my woods I'm thinking a grapple might be a better thing. I've never really used either one, my new 4 in 1 a little but only very little. So what do you guys think? 4 in 1 or grapple?? Can I...

Ok, so this is the first tractor I've bought in about 9 years, I got a Kubota 3540HST. While looking at/for tractors I noticed part of the adds a lot of times included motor tier numbers, could someone explain this to me please? I don't remember seeing this before. Scott

New to here, not to tractors.. this is my 6th tractor and 3rd Kubota, a L3540 4x4 with a LA724 loader and 4 in 1 bucket. Just bought a little 102 acre place here in South Carolina, Had to sell my L3010 before leaving colorado to come here and after lots of looking around found this nice L3540...
