    Glyphosate cost through the roof and beyond.....

    So I was in my local TSC in CT yesterday and just about walked into an end cap when I saw the cost of 2.5 gallons of 41% Glyphosate concentrate priced at $129.99. :oops: I normally pay about $50 for the same item there. Fortunately, I still have a jug and do not need another one yet. This may...

    L3901 Loader Float Position Problem

    Checking in to see if anyone has had a similar issue and/or can offer some guidance. Attempted to place the loader on my Kubota L3901 into the float position, but was unable to due to significant resistance with the joystick. Never has been an issue before. This happened when it was very cold...

    Longest Original Tractor Battery Life?

    There has been an ongoing joke between my dad and I for the last several years about the lifespan of his Kubota battery. He bought his B7500 new over 19 years ago, and never changed the original battery. I changed the battery on my old L2250 3 times in 15 years, and his just kept plugging...

    Rear Blade  Rebirth of Rear Grader Blade Project

    So I finally took the time to take a stab at revitalizing my old and rusted grader blade. After grinding the rust off, I applied a few coats of primer followed by spraying on two top coats. For my first implement refinish project, I'm fairly satisfied with the results. As I primarily use the...

    Help Remove Rusted Out Lower Link Pins

    Starting a rehab paint project on my rear blade and figured while I was at it I would replace the lower link pins. They are loose and the nuts are stuck due to rust. Tried using various lubricants to no avail. I also have no means of heating it up other than a small torch which did not do...

    Adding Telescopic Stabilizer Kit-Worth It?

    Looking for some feedback on the benefits of adding the telescopic stabilizer kit option to my my Kubota L3901. I already have the Pat's system on the lower arms, so wondering how much of a benefit it would be. There are times when I have to adjust the turnbuckles which can be a bit of a pain...

    Need Ideas for Spending "Free" $

    Guess I have what could be considered a "good" problem.:dance1: When I bought my L3901 last spring, the Kubota dealer was good enough to throw in a gift card to be used at the dealership. It can be used for any purchase or service there and they are also a Napa and Stihl dealer :) I have...

    PTO Shaft Extender Issue

    So I attempted to hook up my brush hog to my new Kubota L3901 this morning. Knew I would need the PTO extender that I had on my L2250 as the Pat's EZ extended everything 4 inches or so. The extender has a bolt through it that went through the L2250's pto shaft. Problem is the L3901 has no...

    L3901 Deck Mats

    So I made the first mod to my brand new L3901. I thought it would be a good idea to cover the deck with a mat to protect it as well as to reduce any potential slippage......plus I thought it would look better:cool: As they do not make any factory mats, I picked up a small stall mat at TSC and...

    Farewell Tribute-Kubota L2250/Welcome L3901

    Kubota Dealer % Discount vs Rebates

    I have seen a number of posts that have covered the age-old question of how much you can expect to negotiate off from the MSRP on a new Kubota, which have been helpful. Seems like anywhere between 10-15% is considered a fair to good deal. Geographic location also seems to play a part in the...

    Price Check  New Kubota L3200 Pricing

    Been thinking about upgrading my manual L2250. Just came close to buying a 2010 L2800 HST with 450 hours, but figured the asking price of $14,500 was a tad high and the seller was not willing to come down. He sold it anyway so it is not an option. That being said, there do not seem to be too...

    All excited to use my brand new Pronovost Puma 64 snowblower that I bought after last winter(wasn't planning on being unprepared ever again!!) on the 12 inches we got last weekend.
