Woods BH80X backhoe, pto hydraulic pump, Kubota L3400 subframe. Located in Durham NC. $5500

I have a Woods BH80X backhoe mounted (with subframe) on an L3400 Kubota. It has a pto pump and tank. I want to replace the filter on the pto system but can’t find any identifying numbers. Anyone have an idea what filter it takes?

Installed top n tilt system on my L3400 a few years ago. 3 spool valve (just use 2), and cylinders with check valves. System worked fine until a week ago... Top cylinder will retract fine, but won't extend. I switched the two hoses for that cylinder at the valve connection points, and it works...

I just completed a sleep study and CPAP titration study, and I expect my Dr. to be in touch with me in the next few days to recommend that I go on a CPAP machine. I really dread it, since I don't like the idea of being constricted, and the CPAP was not too comfortable during the test. Just...

I really enjoy playing with google earth... Zooming in to spots around where I live, as well as places I have visited, etc. it's sort of like being able to fly your own airplane around the world! My question is about how often the views are updated, or if there is a way to get real time (or at...

I have 2007 RTV900 with only 130 original hours on it. I obviously don't use it a lot, and it is in excellent condition. Lately it feels like the parking brake is on when driving... just sort of drags, and seems to need higher revs to get up to speed... also doesn't seem to have good pulling...

I have two stick welders... a Miller Thunderbolt AC/DC and a Miller Maxstar 150 that I bought used from a welding pro. I find myself using the Maxstar more and more, simply because of it's size and ease of setup. The original owner had put a 35' #2 wire on the electrode lead, and a 12' #4 wire...

I was digging out a 10" stump with my Woods BH80X (done it a hundred times before), when suddenly BANG!... the cross tube on the cylinder end of the dip stick cylinder had broken off. The weld didn't break, but it actually pulled a plug of metal out of the cross tube. I am thinking I can clean...

I'm replacing some rotten porch steps for a friend, and I'm going to use some "choice deck" from Lowes. The bottom of these boards have three deep groves which run the length of the board. These are very visible when you look at an end cut of the board. The steps will have these end cuts...

OK... time to change the oil in my Kubota L3400. owners manual says use oil class CF for High sulfur fuel, or CF, CF-4, CG-4, CH-4 or CI-4 with low sulfur fuels. I have 3 unopened gallons of Delo 400 LE, API CJ-4. The label on those containers shows it "compatible" with CI-4plus, CI-4, CH-4...

I have a log splitter which I built 25+ years ago. It has a 4x24x2 tie rod cylinder manufactured by Energy Manufacturing. It has been dripping around the wiper for the last year or so, but has started to leak really bad in the last few weeks. Energy manufacturing didn't have a seal kit...

Hope I don't ruffle anyone's feathers... just an observation. As with any large group, TBN members display a large variety of personalities. It is just really interesting to me... some are the types that make you say to yourself "now that is one really nice guy/gal... the type of person you...

I purchased a dedicated grapple for my new tractor, and I'm selling the W.R. Long bolt on bucket grapple that I had on my LA463 loader. If there are any TBN'rs in the central Carolina area that may be interested, I am asking $350 firm for it. Good working condition.

I have a 28 x 36 metal building with two 10x7 insulated garage doors and one walk in door. The inside is open to the peak of the roof which is about 16 high. The building is insulated with a thin foil/bubble wrap which is white on the inside and foil against the siding/roofing. I heat it with a...

I recently traded my gear L3400 for a HST L3400. I finally made the change after using my friends John Deere Hydro, and realizing how much better the Hydro was for loader work. The JD has 2 pedals side by side... one for forward, and one for reverse... both are operated with the "toe" end of...

OK... traded my 5 year old L3400 gear tractor for a new L3400 HST. The new loader has a bucket which is 6" wider than my old one. I kept my old Markham toothbar which is now 6" too narrow. It is configured with 7 teeth... how would you modify it to make it fit the 66" bucket? I'm thinking...

What % fee would a tractor dealer typically pay on a Visa or Mastercard transaction... I had always thought around 1.5%, but don't know if that is accurate. The number comes into play as I run the numbers for trading up on my tractor.

I have a 2005 L3400 gear tractor with 274 hours, R4 tires, LA463 loader... excellent condition. It has been well maintained, and had the three point hitch valve changed out when new to eliminate the "jerky" three point hitch problem on the early L3400's. I want to trade it on a new L3400...

In searching for information on diesel oil there were several threads about Rotella, Mobil, and Amsoil, but I found nothing on Chevron Delo 400 LE 15w-40, which is API rated CJ-4. Costco sells this oil for $62 for 6 gallons... does anyone have any experience or knowledge of how this oil performs?

I somehow left the ignition switch on my Kubota RTV900 in the on position... 51 hours later the battery went dead.... I know it was 51 hours because that is how many hours my hour meter racked up! I would have thought the motor would have to be running to record hours, but apparently if the the...

I just purchased a used 20', 12,000 lb. trailer to move my bobcat and tractor. The wiring is good under the trailer, but the wire along the tongue up to the plug has been cut, taped, etc. I purchased enough 12 ga., 6 conductor trailer wire to replace this section, but have not been able to...

I know from previous posts that there is a lot of "building" expertise on this forum, so I'm looking for advice. I'm planning on adding a utility sink and 1/2 bath in my metal shop building. Use would be minimal. Configuration would be all plumbing on outside wall, with utility sink on...

I have a Woods BH80X backhoe with an 18" bucket. I would really like a smaller bucket for trenching for corrugated pipe, laying water line, etc., (something like a 12"), but the cost of new buckets is just too high to justify for the amount of use it would get. Does anyone know where I might...

I have a chance to buy a Bobcat 863 with 895 hours. It has a 4 in1 bucket, and it appears to be in good shape and it runs well. The seller has a service receipt from a reputable local Bobcat dealer showing where he spent $6900 to have the machine totally gone over about 30 hours ago. Most of the...

This post probably belongs in the "construction" section, but I thought it would get more exposure here, and I know lots of the folks that frequent this area are also knowledgeable about skid steers. I have a chance to buy a Bobcat 863 with 895 hours. It has a 4 in1 bucket, and it appears to be...

Found this ad in the local Craig's list. It appears to be a good deal on a 60" JD deck. I have no use for it, but thought someone else might. It is in the central NC area. 60 Inch Mowing Deck From John Deere 4110

The LA463 loader on my L3400 gear tractor started acting up today... it acted like it was struggling to lift... very slow and with a shuddering, jerky motion. Three point lift was very slow also. My first thought was to check my hydraulic fluid sight level, and it appeared O.K. I then notice...

Just saw this scrape blade on craigs list. Don't need one myself, but it appears to be a good deal for someone in the central NC area. 3 pt Scraper blade

I purchased 3+ acres last November to build a new house. I have really enjoyed the new house projects of 3RLL, KarolinaKubota, and Hunterridgefarm, just to name a few. I had promised in an earlier post that I would try to document my project... I have been lax in doing that to date, but hope...

I already have a set of forks for my tractor, but just saw this posting... a great deal if you need a set and live in the area.... Masonry and Concrete Mixer / Uniloader Pallet Forks Universal

Has anyone installed telescoping swaybars in place of the turnbuckle arms on a Kubota L3400? Is there a standard part? If not, has anyone fabricated anything... and if so pictures? It is a pain to adjust the turnbuckles, and I would love to convert to a telescoping arm arrangement if one is...

Does anyone know the weight of the Woods BX80-X backhoe? I can't find it anywhere in the Woods literature.

As documented in earlier threads, I have converted my original LA463 loader to the Kubota QA adapter. I positioned the QA plate on my bucket based on some pics provided by tbn'r "wushaw" who had the QA adapter and plate installed by his dealer. Now when the bucket is tilted all the way up, and...

Well, my conversion to QA on my LA463 loader continues.... It took me a total of about 7 hours to get the old brackets off the bucket and get everything ground down smooth and ready for the QA plate to be welded on. I have a pretty good idea of where I want to place the plate on the bucket, but...

I just picked up the Kubota QA adapter for my Kubota LA463 loader on my L3400 tractor. Removed the pins from the old bucket and the new adapter went on the loader arms fine. Now the hard part... I have to remove the old mounting brackets from the bucket so that I can weld on a quick attach...

O.K., I'm ot sure if I have a problem or if I am just paranoid. I have an L3400 that I bought new and it has 95 hours on it. The diesel engine always seemed to have a loud tapping sound, but I just assumed that was the typical diesel engine sound. I borrowed a friends JD 790 to use his...

I just got my bh80-x in yesterday, and have installed the subframe. It appears the clevis at the tractor end of the 3pt sidelinks (not sure of correct term) will be hard to get back on, because there is the head of one of the subframe mounting bolts in the way... did anyone else encounter this...

After doing much research on this site, I ordered a Woods BH80-X today for my L3400. I got the PTO pump, 4 point hitch, and an 18" bucket. I shopped several dealers and all said I would be happier with the performance of the PTO pump vs. the tractor hydraulics (flow issue). Does anyone with...

I had my L3400 gear drive tractor in 4-wheel drive (wet field)... I then asked my helper to drive it to my next job which was about 2 miles away. I forgot to take it out of 4 wheel drive and he drove it the whole way with the 4 wheel engaged... on dry pavement at top speed (4th gear, H position...

I need to replace cutting edges on two PHD augers... one is 18" and the other is 24"... I have no idea who makes the augers since there are no visible markings on them. Can anyone give me an idea where the replaceable edges can be purchased? I would like to find a good online source.

I just purchased a used Rhino HPHD post hole digger with 6", 18", and 24" augers for $300. I did have to spend another $95 for a new pto shaft since the original was missing. I need to replace the cutting edges on the 18" and 24" augers. Can anyone direct me to an online site that sells...

Has anyone ever seen, or fabricated, a 3 pt. attachment that could be used to edge landscape beds? I'm thinking some sort of a small plow that would cut a "v" shape about 4" deep, and turn the cut sod towards the inside of the bed. It seems you could mount this attachment in an offset manner...

Does anyone know if there is factory installed wiring to be used for rear lights on an L3400? I want to put 2 - 55W halogens on my ROPS, and don't have a wiring diagram for my tractor. If there are wires already stubbed up somewhere in the back of the tractor for adding lights, I would be...

Take a look at the video at the url listed below. It is a long video (8 min plus), but near the end it shows a closed system hydraulic setup for a top link. The concept looks great, and it doesn't appear to be too complicated. Has anyone built anything like this? Comments and thoughts from...

When I was shopping for my tractor I remember 2 stage air filters being standard on some Kubotas and not on others... The L3400 I decided on did not have a 2 stage filter as standard. While traveling a while ago I stopped in a Kubota dealership just to look around... got talking to the parts...

May be a stupid question, but I have just noticed that when I turn on my directional signal, the chosen side will flash while the other side will lite up steady. Is this the correct operation for the turn signals?

Has anyone tried to use a cone type fertilizer/seeder spreader to spread sand for ice management on drives and parking lots? I am wondering if it would feed all right or if it would freeze, clog, etc. Anyone have experience?

I stopped at a forklift repair shop the other day and purchased a set of used forks for $30. I wondered if anyone else had fabricated a setup using forklift forks attached to their FEL and if so, could you share design, pictures, etc.? I hate to re-invent the wheel when there is so much...

I think I need to invest in a cutting torch, guages, tanks, etc. The sawzall is great for lighter metals, but I'm looking at a few projects that will involve 3/8 steel and thicker. My question... since this is a hobby for me, and I might only do some cutting 2 or 3 times a year, I don't want...

I purchased a used king kutter rotary cutter. I don't know much about rotary cutters, but apparently the top link needs to have some flex in it so that the cutter will travel over bumps, etc.? I am missing the piece that I believe provides this flex... it is part number 16 in the attached...

I just installed Pat's quick connect system on my L3400DT. They really make it easy to hook up my 3pt attachments, but I have found that my top link is now too short to make the necessary angle adjustments on my BB and scrape blade. Has anyone else found this to be the case... and if so, what...

Does anyone have a quick attach mount on their FEL on an L3400 or L2800? I have the LA463 loader on my 3400, but it doesn't have a quick detach feature. Does anyone know of a good quick attach available for my loader? I would be interested in trying to use a front boom pole, forks, etc for...

I've read with interest the post regarding a valve upgrade for the 3pt lift on the L2800 and L3400. I have an L3400 and I have noticed some shudder when using the lift. Has Kubota made the "good" valve standard on new units? If so, when was the change made (beginning with a certain serial...

OK guys... looking for some help here. Will a kubota L3400 with FEL and Box Blade fit on a 6.5" X 14" landscape trailer? I know the weight is OK since I have dual 3500# axles, and I know the width is OK, but how about length?

I am shopping for a small tractor to use in my landscape business... mostly moving mulch, topsoil, and some grading with box blade. I have looked at the following, all gear drive with FEL but before tax: Deere 790 - $14,945 Kubota L2800 - $14,530 Kubota L3400 - $15,300 Mahindra 2615 - $13,990...
