I never tried replacing my existing bucket, but I need to dig a wire/water trench and would like to make a smaller mess. Is the main compatibility point the size pin holes? So as long as pin holes are the same, I am unlikely to need to make any modifications? Thanks

I am starting to shop for a dump truck. You can usually find one not for much more than a dump trailer, and my Tacoma can't tow that much, and a dump truck is more manurable. I need it to be able to haul my Kubota L3430 (about 7k lb with backhoe, plus trailer) and a load (gravel, dirt, wood...

Similar to one I made for firewood, but less fancy as it's not right next the house Less than $1000.. half in roof metal sheets.

I always had trouble with these, but always with attaching (had to occasionally resort to clamps as I couldn't overcome pressure) Might be time to replace. Any pointers how to decouple?

Where do you reommend I use for source of 12v for a wireless camera when ignition is on? L3430

I was digging a trench uphill and tractor lost power and won't start, seems like a fuel issue as it turns over, but maybe there is some safety shutoff I am not aware of? I've run into something similar before when tractor drove into a ditch with rear wheels, but it recovered after a bit...

Dear Forum, I am not sure how to describe it.. Steering feels like it's not 100% responsive, as if when I turn the wheel it feels catchup here and there, like skipping a tooth. The steering is not "hard", just isn't smooth anymore. Any keywords on what I should search this forum for, or any...

Can anybody share suggestions for high traffic areas and maintaining grass/turf? Flood area, so carpets are not a good option.. Stone will likely get washed away too.. Last year we randomly mulched, unfortunately if floods don't take care of washing it away, sometimes heavy rains can. I am...

Hi Forum, A while ago, I got a 57″ Standard Ditch Bank Flail Mower, FH-AGL145 Via asking this forum and digging through to documentation, I determined that I need a 4-way hydrolic control. I was advised to contact my dealer , but unfortunately our local dealer(Winchester Equipment) never...

I have a river front property, and get a large pile of debris (mostly trees) every year as it's low lying flood plane. Initially I wanted a mini-ex with a turning grapple.. But that 40K idea will have to wait (it has other potential uses on my property) I do have a grapple for my L-Series...

Or should I just use the backhoe attachment to dig up bushes (need to create a private space by moving some bushes around from other areas of the property)... Maybe the backhoe + grapple to move it is "good enough"... but I do need to harvest and move about 50 bushes.. Tractor is 35hp Kubota...

So the other day I was was driving down the hill in 2wd with a bucket full of stone, tractor started to slide, and in panic I slammed down the 4x4 lever (which didn't work yet produced that unhappy gear sound, I eventually stopped by dropping a bucket) At the bottom of the hill I...

I have a front remote that gets used for grapple and plow. I have hydraulics in the back for the detachable backhoe, but the backhoe controls are on the attachment itself. I have a little switch that let's me redirect the hydraulics from front to back. Can the front remote also control the back...

Edit: sorry about typo in subject. Meant "flail" First, I don't enjoy mowing. Unfortunately I own some property that requires mowing. I have a commercial older 60" Zero Turn (ZTH 6125 KOA), and even with glasses on I gets tons of stuff in my eyes and nose which keeps my "unhappy" way beyond the...

I have rolling shelves on wheels/rails. The rails may not have been installed properly (as they were re-purposed), and I am hoping to avoid trying to remove the shelves and try to re-install the rails. The wheels hit a gap in the rails and the shelf gets stuck. I am looking for some filler that...

I am considering using a combination of plastic pallets and warehouse racking for firewood stacking. We actually don't burn that much (last year we burned about a cord, and that was primarily bc we had issues with the minisplit), but I'd like to have firewood at hand for emergencies, and we can...

I have a Woods BH9000 Backhoe. I am in need to create some trenches (wires, pipes, etc).. I expect a number of projects over the next few years. I looked online, and anything decent used is $2000+, including any attachments to the tractor. In addition, our ground is VERY stoney. One of the...

My neighbor recommended I keep the backhoe on for weight (as well as to get myself out of a pickle if I get stuck). The weight does seem to help, especially with wet/heavy snow, but becomes a bit of a burden when going uphill. I thought of using the read blade to help manicure behind me, but I...

I have an L3430 Last year my tractor slid and got stuck in our hilly terrain. So this year I decided to get the baddest snow chains they got. I've gotten these chains, Tractor Studded Pattern Tire Chains I do not recall if I consulted the forums. I did get the front chains installed, and put...

All, I understand this is a little off-topic. Coming from a relative newb on a a 35hp Kubota (I think i clocked about 150hrs on it already) I am thinking of building container based cabins and moving them with a forklift into and out of flood plain based on season (over using trailer based...

Good day. We have a river lot, and a small 'harbor' that collects a lot of drift wood, from little to big stuff (mostly little) We need something 20-30 feet long, like a rake to either pull it onto shore or push it back into the river, while not lose the tractor to the soft shore. Any ideas...

I have a ZTH 6125 KOA. It's been made in 2002-1010. Recently with help of neighbor I installed PA-CV740-3126 Kohler engine (last one blew up), today I added a new muffler and followed instructions. The motor started for 10-15sec, but now I don't even hear a click when I turn the key, and the...

Was working on a hill and the pedal didn't fully release from one of the backhoe stops. Initially I thought I had a problem with the lever, but that doesn't seem to be the case (I've had a case of "overpushing" in the past) Quick google didn't turn up anything, and didn't really have yet time to...

We would like to use the backhoe to occasionally lift a portion of the porch that is to be built over a stream during floods (to ease access to the culvert for cleaning). Wanted to know what the lifting capacity is. Thanks.

Still a newbie when it comes to tractors.. So, today I removed the backhoe and tried to attach the rear scape blade, that I previously restored (with some help). I had my neighbor point out the missing parts (some pins were missing).. After running to the tractor store and starting attaching...

Still a newbie. First time plow user. Plow only seems to turn one way (right). How to I diagnose?

My tractor is about 20 feet long, and 8-9" high. I am planning building a garage. It's going into the hill, so it'll get progressively expensive the bigger it becomes. I currently plan on having it to be about 10' high. I plan on making the Garage base width 16 (tractor), 14 and 14 (cars and...

Tractor been sitting for about a month. Today I start it off, try to move, it moves a bit, than something clicks, it loses power and stops. If I keep on pressing the pedal, it shuts off. If I release the pedal, RPMs go back to normal. Same behavior no matter what RPMs I set at, or what speed I...

I would like to leave it in "gear" so that when I start it in N it doesn't accidentally roll while in N, as it can be parked at a slight slope. Manual recommends using N.

I've read somewhere that you can't take stuff out of the river.. not sure where. Does that include all the gravel that washes down to the creek and/or river? I probably have many truckloads worth of gravel waiting for me to put it back on the driveway at the bottom of a creek that runs through...

Newbie question. What are the pros and cons of using scraper blade vs snow plow for maintaining a driveway? The snow plow is a myer fibre blade (7feet) with a steel plate at the bottom. I need to create proper slope on the sides, water running down the middle of the road instead of to the...

How much do those roughly cost? Are they (mostly) only available from dealer? Are they easy to put on/off? The reason I don't necessarily want to fill the tires is that w/o the backhoe I have a chance of being able to tow this tractor with my Tacoma (6400lb) The tractor without the backhoe is...

One of my first projects, I'd like to bury a rain pipe and collect rain water downhill in barrels. I have maybe 40 feet between the house and the side of a hill. The area is only accessible from one side of the house (other side is too steep) Is operating backhoe in a T fashion OK? (is there a...

Dear Forum What manufacturer's buckets are compatible with Woods BH9000 so I could look for them on CL. I would like the smaller bucket so I could clean my rain ditches

Hello Forum. I am absolutely new to tractors. I've recently purchased a slightly used (550h) 2008 Kubota L3430 HST with BH9000 Backhoe and a 72" FEL (and a meyers snow plow) to maintain a property on a relatively steep bank of a river. We unloaded the tractor at the bottom of the hill, as it...
