What is a good grapple for the L45? I picked this Caterpillar brand 72" grapple up for a deal but it really is to heavy. The build quality is excellent, greasable pins, 1/2" steel, good cylinders but 1050 lbs. If I could get this quality but with 3/8" steel it would be 200lbs lighter allowing...

See the pic, the instructions state the hose with the red tape....neither hose has red tape and both hoses have the same ends and are the same length. I'm assuming the "out side" is the return, how do I determine which is the return at the block? And does it really matter when both hoses are...

I had my heart set on a nice 135 but in looking at the next series (235, 240, 245 mainly) am finding it easier to find nice low hour tractors. Some of these, like the 245, span through the purchase by AGCO and makes me wonder if quality changed any. Would there be a reason to purchase either a...

I am wanting an 84" to 96" rear mount finish mower but need a tractor to run it. I have my L45 for loader and backhoe work but it is down on PTO hp and the loader isn't removable. Price point, the less expensive the better. $7k is about max. Diesel is highly preferred. 2 wheel drive is fine but...

Bought new in 2014 and used exclusively on our personal property. Properly maintained and stored indoors. Currently has 136 hours and has a fresh service; air cleaner (inner & outer), fuel filter, oil filer, oil, hydraulic filter, hydro-stat filter, Super UDT2 hydro fluid and blades. Have all...

I've seen the sales brochure for the L45 state the front 3rd function can be used for more than just a grapple, that it can run a motor up to 12 gpm. I am wanting to run an auger / post hole digger off the FEL. Has anyone run anything other than a grapple off the front of their L TLB using the...

Changed the front axle fluid on my L45. After filling, operating and rechecking noticed there was an obvious build up of pressure in the axle. I looked at the parts diagram but there is no mention of a vent. Does kubota not vent the front axles?

I have an L45 with the v2203-m-et13 engine. I know the v2203 series has been used in many applications. I'd like to find an exhaust manifold that has the outlet pointing down vs up on the L45. Any help?

Picked up an L45 a couple weeks ago, two days before our 20th anniversary cruise, just now getting to servicing it and correcting a few issues. The tractor has 850 hours and runs and operates as it should except for the Auto Throttle Advance. There are no leaks but the fenders, hood and grill...

Anyone running a tiller behind their L45? Wondering if it will power a 6' since it only has 32 PTO hp. How about a 6' bush hog as well?

If all goes well I will be picking up a new to me L45 in the AM. It is one owner, 850 hours and has the hydraulic thumb. Other than the obvious (operation, fluids, leaks, play in the pins) is there anything in particular that needs to be checked, anything specific to the L45?

If so, do you mind posting a picture of where the shift linkage attaches to the trans?

Just sold my 13 JD 1025R TLB in hopes of getting a larger tractor. Came across a 16 CK3510 TLB for $19k. On paper this is a much more capable tractor than my 1025 plus, again on paper, it is much more capable than the Deere and Kubota of the same size. In particular, loader lift capacity...

I wanted a ZTR for my 5.5 acres and dad's 8. I read and read and almost let reviews and people talk me out of a 72" deck and diesel but that was what I wanted. After several demos I purchased a left over ZD326H a month ago. This evening I got the mower up to dad's and cut his pasture. Was a...

I admit it, I have a sickness. I love diesels and I love modifying diesels. My car, truck, tractor and my son's car are all diesels and none are stock, so why should the new ZTR remain stock. Anyone know how robust the hydraulic drive system is? The 326H comes with an 1105 series engine...

After weeks or reading I have narrowed my list down to two aerators / pluggers, the EA v2.0 and the Landpride CA15. Whichever one will be used behind my Deere 1025r so I am limited to about 600lbs. I have two main questions about aerators in general that night manufacturer has really answered...

I can't take credit for the idea, another user on another forum did this first. I purchased the John Deere PN Bw16074 single point and installed. There isn't much to tell about the install as it pretty easy. I still want to tweak the mounting bracket some to bring it a little closer in to the...

This is to document the installation of John Deere kit LVB26207 which is a diverter valve and oil line kit to make the hydraulic lift independent of the loader valve. A momentary switch is installed on the dash and when it is pressed the deck rises. For my application, a tractor with power...

My brother's erosion control company has been asked to till 100 acres around solar panels. He needs to offset under the panel and back towards the support mast. He will by a tractor if necessary but has tractors ranging from 40hp to 225hp. So what is the most offsetting tiller available? Is...

1025r & H120 Lift Capacity - Underrated? Everything I've read says the 1025r & H120 has a lift capacity of 836lbs. So I was rather surprised when I put in 10 JD Quick-Tatch (R127764) weights in the bucket and the loader operated (curl, rise, lower, dump) just fine (minus the DBS of course) at...

Was delivered Wednesday evening. Between work and life I've only gotten two hours of seat time but should be able to get several hours Saturday. After setting up the deck correctly I cut the grass. What a great cut.now to dig out a couple of stumps.

Like the title asks, is John Deere the only SCUT (1025r) with position control?

It seems the dealer and I have struck a deal with his last offer but I want to make sure the price is right. 1025r FILB 60" quick connect drive over deck w/ hydraulic lift $21,300 OTD Dealer offered me $7500 for my NH TZ25Da w/ FEL and 60" MMM mower. I think it has about an $8,000 retail...

The hardest my tractor works is running the 60" MMM while pulling a Swisher 60" offset mower. The mower weighs about 400 lbs and there is plenty of up hill cutting. Last week it was 94 degrees, full sun and the tractor ran for about 3 hours straight. The temp needle barely got out of the "cold...

Is there a good alternative to the stock NH TZ (or other model) seat? My seat has a tear in it and NH wants $440 for a new one, ain't happening.

Just bought new pads at the cost of $40. Both were falling apart and like this when I bought the tractor at 450 hours.

My plan is for a 1025r with H120 loader and 60" MMM with the drive over quick connect. The deck is where my questions come in. The dealer is trying to steer me away from the 60" and towards the 54" deck. He says no one likes the 60" that it sticks out too far. I currently have a 60" on my NH...

When I purchased my TZ I knew it had been neglected but am now wondering if it has many more hours on it than what the meter shows. Today in doing my PM the RPM / hour meter cable was found to be loose at the engine. Now it is possible the vibrations of the engine loosened it but it has to make...

I've seen several JD threads where some are shimming a valve to get a little more power out of their loader. Is this possible on the New Hollands? In particular the 10LA and TZ tractors? I have been very impressed with the little TZ but would just like a little more breakout force.

I picked up am electric sprayer from Northern. The sprayer wand / handle valve is crap. Any recommendations on a replacement?

MyTZ25DA is missing one of the 3pt stabilizers and the one on the tractor is so bent it isn't really usable. Messicks doesn't show the stabilizer as one piece but the various pieces (turnbuckle, ends, etc) and pricing it all together comes to $240.56 EACH. $500 for these stabilizers seems...

Did / Does NH make a weight bracket for the front of the TZ SCUTs? Would like one that holds the 41lb suitcase weights.

I collect early 1900 electric desk fans mainly 8" but have some 10, 12, 16 inch fans along with a 23". These fans are cast iron motors and bases with brass blades and cages. They are very well made and very heavy. Generally when I find one it just needs to be cleaned up a little and they...

I am sure most remember The Man Who Said No to Wal-Mart | Fast Company | Business + Innovation But now.....Snapper Lawn Mowers : Gardening & Lawn Care - Walmart.com I guess Wier had a change of heart....

I am going to buy a weight bracket hitch combo to use as ballast for my FEL but am trying to decide on which hitch. Both seem to have advantages and disadvantage. I know I could go with a box for much less money but I like the flexibility of the suitcase weights and a few of the attachments each...

I need some rear weight to offset my 10LA loader on my TZ25. The manual gives several options, this is an overview of those options; Calcium Chloride filled tires @ 214lbs (107lbs ea wheel) + 475lbs on the 3pt hitch OR Rear wheel weights 150lbs (75lbs ea wheel) + 475lbs on the 3pt hitch...

The pedals on my TZ were offset from each other when I got the tractor, the reverse was about two inches closer to the deck than was the forward pedal. The service manual states I made this adjustment but now the tractor is much slower in forward and reverse is much quicker, almost too quick...

For those that had their seat pans crack, did using New Holland's repair kit permanently fix the problem? My new to me TZ25DA has the cracks and I'm wonder if I should just use NH's kit or design my own. TIA

Is there a PHD that has the lift arms appropriately sized for a SCUT? On my TZ25DA I had to cut down a top link because a standard one was way to long. Figure I'll run into the same problem with a PHD. Thanks

Picked this little guy up this past Thursday. It's been somewhat neglected maybe even abused but it runs well and is pretty solid. The biggest issue is the leak around the output shaft that drives the front axle. I hope and pray it as simple as prying the seal out and pressing another one in...

Went to my local dealer as it is time for a fluid change and all they are carrying is Warren Coastal Premium AW 32 hydraulic oil. Said they no longer carry the Ambra except in motor oil. That they have had better luck with the Coastal. Thoughts? This is the Coastal...

Picked up a TZ25DA today and somehow missed the output shaft seal leaking. It is the shaft that drives the front axle and the seal's PN is 84400823. Can this seal be pryed out and then a new one be driven back in without any issue? Thanks for the help.

Well, the 50 hour service is complete. Took me a couple hours of fiddle farting around to get it done. I used Rotella 15w-40 and Shell Donax TD trans fluid along with OEM JD filters. The hardest part, the suction side filter was a bear. The suction screen cover and adjoining hose I had heard so...

IT\'S HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My 4410 came in about 7 last night. I was able to play for a couple hours. I attached my 5' finish mower to see how well it worked. This tractor is awesome. I was able to cut hills previously not possible with my 8N. I didn't have much time to do anything else. Hope the...

My 4410 will be here within the next couple days. I am already planing what needs to be done. One questions I have is will the 430 loader or 3 pt lift or both handle a round hay bale? Will they each handle one at the same time? And will it do either safely? TIA

Hi all, Been lurking here along with several other sites for about a week doing research on which tractor to buy. You all have a great site with quite a bit of good information. I am posting this to maybe help others with pricing. I purchased a 4410 w/ 4wd (standard), eHydro, speedmatch...
