Looking like beautiful healthy trees, congratulation.

Mine is almost new and same issue…

Cristal clear !! Many thanks. Per chance are you familiar with the plows Kubota sells for their RTV 900 ? Do they have the same problems?

So , can I conclude a basic LP STB series plow is not an optimal tool for an uneven dirt road because it misses the « pickup « system ?

For those of you who use a snow plow on your FEL, how to you handle that ? Float mode ?

Thanks everyone for your answer. I forgot to mention both my RTV and tractor are open station .

Hi all, I am a glad owner of both a Kubota RTV 900 and L3800 and I live in Canada, just north of Maine’s border where there is plenty of snow. I feel as if my snow removal setup is not optimal. Actually I always use the tractor to remove snow, either with the back snowblower and a back plow...

Thanks. Great size, twice as large as our, just north of the Maine border. Those small rough fields are good deer and turkey food plot candidates !!

Always a pleasure to read Gordon. You seem to own a very nice place. May I ask how large is your land ?

i like the whole thing…very nice.

Very nice. I wish I could do the same but my sciatic nerve put me on the sideline for sometimes!

My spouse sometimes complaints because I have removed to many trees and the likes around our buildings. At the end of the day she still prefers that than mice inside. Keep the environment around as clean as you can. If they don’t live around, they can’t get in !!! A space where they can go like...

Cable changed, pretty easy task. This cable doesn’t seem to be meant to be lubrificated but spring sure is. My no mechanic feeling.

That’s why Vicegrip worked …

Fisrt time it broke, I could grip the wire with a vicegrip and pull it. This time it seems the wire is cut at the level attachment and has slipped into its envelope. Didn’t find an easy alternative solution yet…

Thank you very much, I appreciate a lot.

TKS

If I understand your point, I’d say it breaks lever side. How to know if I have the correct version ?

Anyone has a solution for this cable I will have changed twice when the dealer receive it next week. Not very fun, I was working in the wood, tried to engage the pto to winch some fir logs, nothig … With a snow storm coming… TKS

Thanks John

Very nice, I learned something too especially the wedging techique. I have a question which is not exactly into the subject but related, about the tractor. Instead of those wedges I tend to work with my forestry winch and pulleys when I need directional falling help. Hence I often use the...

Very very nice. How many taps ? I guess a couple hundreds? Trees looks like very healthy, red or sugar ?

Fine advice, tks.

Good to know, thanks.

FYI I made a few tests, it seems this slusshy dirt is only the very 2-3 inches road surface. Now the question is how to remove this .

What do you think, is the Boss V plow really an issue for the RTV 900 front suspension?

For sure could be an option. How about the attachment system to the RTV ?

Thanks, for the time being I´m still searching for a dealer around.

I’d had that my primary need if for our 1500 feet gravel road, from the public road to our cottage in the wood.

Hi, Can we talk about it ? What are your experiences, advices, brands, attachment type ? Should I go with Kubota brand, hydraulic, manual ? My X900 has a winch on it. Thanks all

Oh yes fully agree

Yes 3 pts hitch back blade.

Close to north Maine border. Good advice I think.

This is my guess, drainage can be improved for sure but years ago this road wasn’t becoming that slusshy after minimal rain like today. I’m actually wondering what the impact of a back blade would be. Once you beging and create a mess you have to handle it !!

I don’t think so, my guess is it’s coming from the air: yearly leaves fall, small twigs, and so on over many years.

Thanks all, I forgot to mention this road has a ditch on the side the water is coming from. It is really looking like as if the surface is now composed of too many composted material and it becomes Jello like with very little rain on it.

I am getting tired of my wet wood roads. I cut plenty of wood on each side to allow the sun to dry them but it’s like if they never dry out. It seems there is too much black earth accumulated on top of them. What should I do with it ? I thought about using my back blade to drag it out and...

Interesting. So you live in a region with a good snowfall. What is the plow setup that you had on your RTV 900 ? Thanks

Sorry for this question I saw the answer above.

So you have a roof top and a front windshield and it is just fine ?

Have heard that if you install a winshield you almost also need to have something in the back to block air backdraft. Any thought/experience about that ?

Are your windshield foldable ?

Hi all, Summer just began but I am already thinking about what equipments/accessories I could add to my new RTV in order to maximize its utilization. I live in a place where winter is tough. I am thinking about a front windshield, a roof top, a back windshield and a snow plow. Although my...

As for finance let’s not forget 15 K in 10 years is worth how much with inflation, interest rates ?

Thanks, good to know. Is it doing a decent amount of job without chain or not really ?

Hey, seems like a couple of us have the combo L3800/3901 and X900 !!

After 2-3 days, still very impressed by the machine and I realize how an improvement is a UTV over an ATV. Much more versatile and pleasurable. The only « negative » thing I have to signal is the shifter. A litlle bit tricky so far.

Ok I share my first impressions with the machine. First off, I’ll confess I took a terrible chance. I didn’t even saw it before I bought and obviously didn’t started it nor test drived it either !!! I fully relied on Kubota’s reputation and on the information I could get on the net and...

Thanks all. I suspect my wife is going to use it very often indeed. She likes to have a small outside fire burning and she hates using a trailer to bring firewood. We also have numerous holes to be filled in our trails all across the woodlot. She is already planning to give a hand about that...

Done, Worksite model. Added a winch. Will arrive friday.

Went thru all the infos I could find on the machines. Checked what is available around. A nearby solid Kubota dealer has one new RTV 900. I have tuff work to be done on my 100 acres property. Sleep on it….

Have the 3800, the only thing I hate is the transmission noise

What about the Kubota ? My L3800 is giving me a good work. There a very good dealer around.

I reviewed every dealers websites around. No kawa available, just a few Polaris.

To complete my question, I want an UTV mostly for our 100 acres wood lot. So I’d say for light duties farm work such as moving firewood, dirt, and so on. I also have access to a very large piece of land located at a few kilometers where I will go to explore and deer hunting. I had discard Kubota...

Hi all, I have done my researches and almost came to conclusion the UTV I want is the Kawa Mule Pro. The problem I have is the only vehicule I can find around is the Ranger 1000. It is not a bad choice either but I have like a feeling it is not as reliable as the Kawa. Any thoughts on those...

I have the same tractor and do the same thing but i know with some implements I cannot do that at idle and need to increase a little bit. My bushhog is a good example.

Hi all, All my fault, got a brand new chain, but had to adjust the binder at full in order for the chain to be under strong tension. Ok, then I tried to shorthen it, f...now it痴 one link too short ! What are my options ? Possible to have two removable links on the same chain ? Tks for your time !

Hi SOL Members, Can you please share your thoughts ? I知 mostly satisfied with my tractor but went thru some issues that make me thinking about upgrading, but being like a beginner, expert or more knowledgable views would be appreciated. First I have no complaint with the pto power. It strong...

Hi all, Went thru kind of disappointment yesterday. Had my Farmi 351 on, chained two 26 feet long firs, 18 inches diameter butts. Tractor couldn稚 lift the package more than a couple inches. Butt side was by the winch. What do you think, mechanical problem or was asking too much ? Isn稚 it the...

Hi all, My new 28X32 garage dream is progressing... I am wondering what you guys think about insulating it or not. I live in a Canada region where we have long winters ! Anyone wanting to share its thoughts would be much appreciated. So far I'am leaning toward insulating the place and heating...

Hi all, I am building a 28X32 detached garage on my property. It is located on my woodland but this is also where i have a cabin and spend a lot of time. So i don't want a luxury siding one would pick in a city but i am looking for something durable with a good look. Roofing will be with red...

Hi all Any thoughts on which log grapple trailer would perfectly fit my small 38 hp tractor size ? What are the metrics I have to look at, size, independant hydraulic, lifting capacity, weigth ? I am at the beginning of the process, tough to see what I need. Thanks

Hi all, Bought a 20 acres field loaded with christmas trees which will be cut next fall. My plan is to converse most of it into a nice deer food plot. The question is what to do with the stumps ? Leave them rot would be a solution, but how long would it take ? Probably a problem to work the...

Hi all, I'd appreciate your thoughts on the following. I have a L 3800 hst, bushhog Sq, pallet forks, 2 420 honda atv, rachet rake, on a 100 acres land with sugarbush and a mix of soft and hardwood. I have many mature poplars and firs to harvest. So far i made my way hauling some on the snow...

Hi i started a post under a different name this morning but moved it here under a more representative name. In fact i was looking for the oil inlit on my l3800. Could not find it but now i realize there iscan oil hose firmly screwed right in the inlet. The dealer installed this hose, it goes to...

All, It will sound weird but the newbie to tractor that i am can't find the place to add hydrau liquid on my 3800. I looked everywhere, could the dealer used this filling hole when they installed oil hoses behind so now there would be a hose connected there ? Help cause they are closed and...

Hi all, I am having good time with my fairly still new l3800 and am now considering what I'll do for snow removal. My property begins with a 1000 feet pasture, very windy so not a lot of snow there in this part of my road. Rarely more than 1foot. Then it enters into a sugarbush for 500 feet...

Hey I have this probably idiot one. For pto it is pretty obvious where to set the rpm (written in the dash) but what about the rest of work? For example, does the motor rpm have an impact on the loader lifting capacity or it is 2 completely different things? Is there a "standard" rpm level...

Hi everyone, Have never seen any post on it. Well I did some mud work with my tractor. It is really muddy, even the 3 points parts are covered with mud. I am wondering how you clean it when this happen. When I say muddy it is muddy, hardly can figure out how to remove it if it is not with a...

Hi all, Haven't received my freshly ordered L3800 yet but it's coming. I realize I may have missed an important issue. I took for granted that the bucket could be removed very rapidly being kind of a Kubota "trade mark". After a little bit more internet yesterday, I finally understood the "skid...

Hey guys, Almost pulled to trigger on a K L3800 HST, R4 tires. The dealer has Bush Hog SQ. A SQ 148 measures 52 inches wide and a SQ 160, 65 inches. The sale rep was recommending a 148 but many here seem to privilege a 5 feet for that size of tractor. What are your thoughts ? I don't want...

Hi guys, What about the 35 B ? It seems to be a very good option. I was looking hard at Kubota L3800-3200 and maybe MF but I met a Case dealer who is giving me a good feeling. Looked at the specs it seems good, the price too. As safe a machine as any "big" brands ? TKS

Ok I am in market for my first "machine". I am fortunate I found TBN, read many many threads, it is very helpful. Here's my situation: - 100 acres, mainly wood - Began doing small food plots and want to continue - Already have chain saws, brushcutter, ATVs - Small sugashack. My land include...
