kubota l3800

can I run R14 on front and R4 on rear of my l3800 hst 4wd

Embarrassing. I flipped my L3800 doing some dirt work. After figuring out I was OK I starting turning the ignition key off and on and off trying to get engine to shut off. No luck. It ran up and down and finally shut down after about 90 seconds. I was still turning the key but not sure that did...

I have a 2013 L3800 (gear) with a loader. I would like to add a remote to it. What do I need to buy and how much should I expect it to cost?

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

Currently have a L3800dt and I want to acquire a backhoe with a hydraulic thumb. The bh77 lacks the hydraulic thumb option and I don't want to purchase a HT kit and deal with the hydraulic system. The BH 90 has what I want, but everyone says it to large for my tractor, despite fitting the...

While lubing the HST zerks which seems to have cured my starting problem though only time will tell, I came across this: I've been under there dozens of times, but I don't remember this. Reason I'm asking, I had it serviced last fall to include topping of the Tranny lube. Doing maintenance...

I have a Kubota L3800 HST, 2011 model. In the last year it's been giving me fits with one problem. It sometimes, won't start. Battery reading at 13.7. Turn the key and all the little lights in the dash come on, but nothing. No clicking, no sound whatsoever. I changed out the Seat Safety switch...

first time poster thought I would show how I fixed th terrible seat on my kubota.

2014 L3800 HST about 500 hours. Starter won't always engage like there is an issue with an interlock. I would tap the forward/reverse pedal a couple times and it would start. Assumed it was switch related or a loose wire or connection. Now it sounds like it isn't fully engaging the flywheel...

Hi, I know you guus have heard this before. I have a l2800 with a backhoe and I need the hitch kit that will work, no salvage yards have them, I have read on Tractor net of other guys buying other kits that ended up working for them. PLEASE SHARE THE LINK Dealer wants to remove my testicles and...

What the heck am I doing in a Kubota thread? Well I've got a Mate, outside of Canberra (Gundaroo, to be exact), who asked me to ask the august members [that's you lot :)] of TBN if there is a part number for a (2018) L3800, open station, right-hand fender grip/hand-hold. Apparently his...

Our property is on the side of the hill. Some of it is flat but even driving around the house I get a queasy feeling going around one corner - and the grade there doesn't 'look bad'. At first I thought of wheel weights (that much $$$ !!!) and then filled tires. I finally decided to go with...

I am planning to use the left rear running light hot lead at the light to power a relay coil. The relay contacts will then switch on my new LED rear work lights. My wiring diagram for the tractor does not call out the colors of the wires :( Because there is little slack in the wires there it is...

Since my neck fusion it is uncomfortable for me to turn around in the seat to view my rear implements. I just received a 9" car monitor with two cameras to make life easier. I would like to mount the monitor directly above the tach on the plastic cowl per the image. There is a 12mm bolt...

I admit I am a total novice when it comes to hydraulics. There is also no project big or small I won't take a whack at destroying. I have a basic understanding of an open system, power beyond port and how the valves are daisy chained. That's it. I don't have a clue on fittings nomenclature...

Pretty sure it was run out of fuel. Tried the bleeder near the fuel filter and cracked the injectors. Any other tips?

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...

How long will the axle last! :dance1: Adeptec steel spacers. Spendy but a quality part - nearly a press fit. BONUS - it's a built in wheel weight too! :laughing: 8 year old L3800, spends all her time on hills.

I am replacing my 1985 L2550DT with a L3800. Is there an issue with putting my BL4690 backhoe on the newer machine. The 3800 should be able to handle it since it痴 bigger than the 2550

My bro-i-l has an L3800. This is his first winter with it that he's lived where he needs to plow snow. His first lesson is that he wanted a plow instead of a bucket. The second lesson was that sometimes the plow was not usable for drifts 5 feet deep or more. The third lesson was that he needed...

Any tried and true, long lasting fix for the sticking cable issue? I've lubed mine with the best lube I can find and I'll still have an issue if I don't use it frequently enough. Stronger spring, different cabling routing? The problem is certainly compounded by the lack of accessibility to...

I'm considering buying a 3pt log splitter, but I'm unsure of what the available hydraulic flow would be. Tractordata lists my hydraulic flow as: pump flow 6.3 gpm, steering flow 3.8 gpm, total flow 10.1 gpm Does this mean I have 10.1 gpm available or only the 6.3 GPM? My tractor is set up for...

I was out grading my road and repairing storm damage to it this afternoon. When I got through, I noticed the Fuse Box Cover was gone. It sits on the left side in plain sight above the clutch. My Drive is 1/2 mile long and I walked it twice looking for it but never found it. Could have lost it a...

This is the second time this happened to me. I was out in the woods off our dirt road and I notice the tire is flat and the valve stem is gone. This is time #2, the 1st time I went to the local tire shop and got it fixed. This time was bad, off in the woods with a load of wood on the skid...

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...

Would someone kindly post a pic or let me know the wire colors that correspond from the tractor harness to the seat switch harness? The wiring diagram only references the tractor side. The switch side colors are not depicted.

First CUT buying decision. Looking for a tractor to level and clear some land, build rock walls and move some dirt. Basically retiring and want to play in the yard. Maybe the occasional removal of 3 feet of snow from my driveway after a large storm. I have a John Deere X320 with a snowblower...

I Purchased a 2-14's set of plows for my L3800 and after setting them up I plowed a new garden spot for the fall season. I test plowed a food plot for sil with minor success (more adjusting) and all was ok. For some reason I got the Kubota manual out and it stated the tractor would pull 2-12's...

How She Going Biiiiyys Im looking for information about a problem with my Kubota backhoe(BH77) on my L 3800. I have a leak on the right ram that moves the hoe to the left. I believe it is the psi relief valve on top of the ram thats weeping fluid. I did double check and add more hydraulic...

I have a 2013 Kubota L3800HST with LA524 FEL, ever since I bought the tractor new the FEL has had one side of the loader that is slightly off from the other. When I use the loader without anything on it, no forks or bucket, I notice a bit of slack in the right side lift cylinder with the left...

I broke one off and have been trying to use an "Easy-Out" to remove it, but it's not budging? (I greased that fitting and then broke it off trying to get the grease gun off the nipple - Doh!) If I don't get it off today, I'm think about covering the hole with silicone or JB Weld to keep out...

I'm wanting to run a 21 GPM 2500 psi pump off a L3800 PTO. I'm reading significantly varying numbers on the power required. On the low end I can do it. High end I won't be able too. Should I take it down to a 16 GPM? I really don't want to because I'm running a 5" bore cylinder and it'll be slow.

When I purchased my L3800 I also got a backhoe with it. Subframe installed by my dealer. The hydraulic connection for the backhoe is installed on the right rear side of the tractor. The Problem is with the Backhoe off and hose connected to recirculate, when using 3pt. implements the...

Anyone find an alternative to that stupid little knob that acts as a travel stop for the 3-point lever? Maybe it's just mine, but it sure seems like it should be easier to turn.

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

My son has an L3800 (I think that's the Model #). It has the quick detach FEL. What would be necessary to install a log grapple, besides the grapple itself?

Despite my best efforts to prevent it, my PTO cable is starting to stick. Anyone have a sure fire lubricating process to keep this from happening? I've periodically shot some white lithium in it. Might have to squirt some Kroil down the jacket to get it freed up again. What a crappy design.

I have a L3800 (I think 2014) that I'm having a couple issues with. First, I usually always turn the throttle way down to start the tractor. However in the past I have accidentally had the throttle up ad cranked it. It used to crank with no problem. Now, I MUST have the throttle way down for the...

We bought a used (239 hrs) Kubota L3800 HST last year from the local Kubota dealer. The tractor runs well as long as we are not using the mower (King Kutter 60"). Within a 30 minute space of time mowing one of the horse pastures, the tractor will overheat. We've changed the thermostat...

Hey all! I'm new to this forum but have been doing some searching. Currently have a JD 855 w/ FEL that has served me well but I'm looking at purchasing a 2014 Kubota L3800 HST 4x4 R4 tires with LA524 FEL (quick attach bucket) with 75 hours on it (haven't actually seen it in person but looks...

I was mowing the other day and decided to try the cruise control. I noticed that it doesn't hold it's position and slowly backs off as you drive. Anyone else experience this? I have the shop manual, so I'll see what it says about adjustment. Seems like it should just be a simple tightening...

Hi Kubota Owners, We are liquidating our inventory of turn signal protectors that were originally made for OEM purposes for Kubota. We stopped working with a distribution company and have this remaining inventory available dirt cheap. We have one auction on Ebay ending tonight: Impact...

Hello all, I have a Kubota L3800 that over the course of this year has been having issues with power loss combined with a whitish smoke. These symptoms are sporadic in the time it takes prior to seeing them after the tractor has been started, but will eventually show up every time I run it...

Does anyone know if the wheel spacers from a Kubota L3800 will fit a L3301? Have a good deal from a fellow member and I think they'll fit but we both want to make sure before shipping. Thanks Lenny

My 4 year old L3800 Kubota has recently started to lose power above 2000 rpm. The rpms will cycle up and down by 100 rpm at a 2300 rpm setting necessary to run the pto at 540 rpm. I think its due to either 1) bad fuel, or 2) clogged air filter. I can't find my manual and Kubota's website does...

For some, buying new tractors can be like wanting an old sports car of our youth. My old tractors can still do the work but never having anything with HST until buying my JD lawn mower, I now want a tractor with it as well. I know after reading this site for months I can get good opinions either...

I own a 2005 L3830 with a FEL 4x4 love it! But found a 2012 L3800 with like 90hrs on it with a FEL also and 4x4 mine has 800 some hrs but was thinking about moving up in years but looking at this newer tractor nice but doesn't look as well built as mine both hydros but still the L3800 just...

Hi All! My name is Dave and after lurking on this site for a few days and researching all I can find on the topic of adding rear remotes to a Kubota L series tractor, I still have a few questions for the experts. I'm planning on adding a 2 spool valve with one spool float capable. The valve that...

I have a Kubota L3800 HST and a Ford F150 truck. I'm wanting to buy a trailer for my tractor and don't know what sort of trailer to buy. 16 or 18ft? 10k or 7k? Help me out. Also will my truck with the Triton V8 motor pull it ok?

I've had my 2015 kubota L3901 since the end of September and I've done a lot with the stock QA 66 inch bucket but I'm wondering if anyone has ever put a larger bucket on one of these tractors. I'm considering buying QA 66 skid steer style bucket that's long and low for being able to move more...

Anyone use their L3800 (or L3901) to move round bales with a FEL bale spear or a 3-pt spear? I'm not planning to move them far, just unload from a flatbed and put out in a feed ring, traveling over flat ground.

Starter stayed engauged, i disconnected battery, pulled starter off & then put back on, still engauged, what next?

I'm going to downsize from a L3800 to a B series. Tractor is a L3800 HST w/30 hours and a Kubota FEL. The tractor is a little over a year old. Also have a Woods 60" finishing mower to go with it. Cruise control, right side handle, and the extra air filter added. What would be a fair asking price?

The bucket on my L3800 (less than 50 hours) is significantly unlevel. I mean like 2-3 inches. I've been doing a little research and it seems like I need to check obvious stuff like tire pressure and the tightness of the frame attachment point, but I don't know if there's enough slop in both...

For some time now I have had to wiggle the forward/reversed pedal to start the tractor. Now it is really struggling to start...if at all. I just replaced the hydrolic fluid as it has 407 hours. Also for some time the seat safety switched has shut the tractor of if I get off the tractor when...

When I lift my 3pt, all is well until the last inch or so. At this point it sounds like the hydraulics are either 1) dumping pressure or 2)straining. The real symptom is the loss of power I feel at the front end loader. If I back off the 3pt position control lever, I can hear the change...

it starts great and and you can drive at slower speeds but once you push it down it shuts off

Does anyone know where I can buy 2 inch cylinders for my FEL LA524 or the P/N of Kubota 2inch cylinders that will fit?

This may be a dumb question, but How do I check the hydraulic level on my L3800?

I will be purchasing my first tractor in the very near future. I have 13 acres (hilly) and will be maintaining 4 acres (garden, mowing, driveway, etc) with the plan of planting an orchard on the rest once we get settled. I was considering a Kubota B series but am concerned that I will want to...

Pulled the trigger on one of the last new L3800 HST's I could find. Equipped with FEL, BH77 backhoe and landpride PHD. It'll be delivered on Monday. I looked long and hard at the newer L3901 that replaced the L3800, but in the end, with the exception of the engine (direct vs indirect) and the...

Hi Guys I am looking at buying a Kubota L3800 or L4600. I previously owned a L3250 which I was very satisfied with so similar capacity would be OK. Anyone got any advice. Thanks Merniga Sydney Australia

I have a walk behind trencher that we are converting to mount on a tractor. My question is if the current trencher hydraulic motor has a case drain, then where is the best place to route that line to the tractor. I know that it can not be routed to the outflow line. Any help would be appreciated.

This is my first post. I have been lurking for a while working on my 8n (thanks for the help on that), but I'm starting to get a bit tired of tinkering with it constantly to keep it going all year round for bush-hogging, plowing, and skidding logs. I was in to my Kubota dealer (I have a b2320...

I've been brush hogging some heavy stuff and in the past two months, I've knocked off the fuel filter housing and needed to replace. Both times, I was able to shove a stick into the hose to keep the fuel from falling onto the ground until I could get back to get my fuel can, and then let the...

Case Farmall DX33 vs Kubota L3800, which one??? I have been planning on buying the case DX 33 for a few weeks now it is all set up through a local dealer near me, The dealer was good enough to confirm parts are not an issue for the older tractor and he was able to get some financing for me...

I have a L3800HST with about 165-170 hrs on it. I recently had a 3rd function valve installed. When I took it to the dealer to install that 3rd function valve, I was told it was low on fluid, so they put almost a gallon in it. I had to take the tractor back because they installed the valve...

Price Check 2011 L3800 400 hrs.? Still under warranty. Got the loader, auger, brush hog, box blade. Well-maintained. Can someone here give a rough blue-book cost? Thanks! Chuck

I have been doing some brush hog work at a local park. Mowing some brush and some I root out with my loader. I apparently hit my fuel bowl with a stick as it was leaking, I turned it a ways and it kind of skipped, still leaked, then I turned it a little more after the skip, it stopped leaking. I...

I am getting a land pride 3rd function valve installed on my L3800. It shows in online installation instructions to hook it to the power beyond ports. Where exactly is the power beyond ports on my tractor? A picture or diagram if available would be great. Also, is there a bolt or fastener of...

I recent ordered a Land Pride SGC1060 grapple and a Land Pride 3rd function valve kit (380-153M) to go with it. Both will be going on my Kubota L3800 HST tractor. I am pricing the installation of this valve and have a question. Looking online at the installation instructions, it says they were...

I have a 2011 L3800 with a BH77. I has almost 600 hours on it. I am thinking about trading it in on a L60 Grand, 4760. I'm trying to get an idea on what trade in value would be. The reason I am moving up is that I want a stronger FEL and BH. The Grand has the option for the BH92. Also, what...

I was working with my L3800 and it just slowed down and shut off. If I try to start it, it stars but will only stay running for a few seconds. I pulled the fuel filter out and cleaned it, put it back on but it still will not start. The fuel gauge read 1/4 full, but I put another 5 gallons in...

Hi Everyone. Finally became a member of your great commuity, looking forward to contributing what I can. I have a questions regarding the differences between the L3301 and L3800. The L3800hst has a list of $19,300 vs. the L3301hst list of$19,600. I was wondering what the differences were...

I feel like John Thomas. :laughing: I've had my L3800 for 2.5 years now and have done most of the major stuff that I've wanted to do. It only has 160 hrs on it. I put 50 hrs on it in the first 6 months, then 100 hours in the next two years. I'll be using it for some box blade work this...

I posted on the repair forum and got no response so will give this a try. Tractor: 2012 L3800 HST 4x4 My power steering isn't as powerful as it was or should. When stopped or moving slow ( engine speed 2000RPM) the power steering dosen't give any assist past half cut. I have checked the...

What in the heck is the shiny metal thing that sticks out the bottom of the L3800 near where we do our lubrication for the pedals? It hangs down and is always loose and can be pushed up... Thanks! Chuck

I can't seem to find this info anywhere! Does anyone know what the volume of a Kubtoa L3800 SSQA bucket is? I need to move a specific amount of gravel and think calculating it by number of loads is going to be the easiest. Thanks.

I read a lot of posts about the different ways people move firewood around. Based on those, I built a pallet style carrier out of some 2x6 material to try it out. The carrier is 5' wide by 4' deep by 4' tall. It may sound like a ridiculous question but am I asking too much from my tractor to...

Hello, I was wondering if anyone has purchased the new L3901. I知 looking to buy one or the other (3800 OR 3901). Local Tractor Place by the house has both, and would like some advice on the new L3901 from its owners. I know a bit about the emissions but not enough to brag about. I have also read...

I have a Kubota L3800 with a Landpride QA & Rotary Mower. I need to get/make a set of check chains to help keep the mower deck at the right height and I was wondering how/where others have secured them? I've been manually "eyeballing" it and usually do OK but sometimes I lower it too far and...

Due to my negligence I lost a 3PH link (attached photo) on the field last weekend. I went to the dealer to get the new one and there are two types: older one and a newer one. Surprisingly new one is ~ $124 which is ridiculous price for this simple piece of metal and an older style is ~ $25. I...

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...

Good Afternoon I was using my Tractor today with the forks in together to dig out rose bushes the wife wanted removed. I would drive in, get under neath and pop the roots up, it was going swimmingly well, making short work of the bushes and without a drop of sweat!! Then on my second last...

Hello all, I am considering an L3800 with a FEL and back-hoe attachment. I have a few question for you that might have experience with this machine. 1. What do you think about that combination in general? 2. Is it a big enough machine to be pretty useful around a farm? 3. Is the hydraulic...

Hello, I'm new to this forum, have been looking and reading on here for a couple weeks now. I am looking into purchasing my first tractor and these are the two I'm looking at right now. I've narrowed it down to Kubota just with the dealer near me and they seem to be tried and tested. The L3800...

They delivered the new Kubota L3800 yesterday. I took a few pictures of the factory rear remote setup from the dealer. We traded up from a B7510.

Welcome any comments or advice regarding buying a Kubota tractor. Looking at a used L3800 1 yr old with 160 hours, warranty left, loader with quick detach bucket and direct drive transmission. Asking $15,000 vs. a new B3300 with a quick detach loader and hst. Price $16,000.

Has anyone tried to use skid steer type attachment with a Kubota Quick Attach? I know my Deere 110 TLB is interchangeable. I offered my to help my brother move and having a set of pallet forks would sure help if my skid steer forks would fit his L3800 quick attach.

The hydraulic hose at the rear of my L3800 sprung a leak, exactly where the 3PH upper arm tends to hit it. It needs to be replaced. I made an emergency patch with some silicone and electrical tape, but that was just to get it back into the shed... The rear end of the hose has a...

I am going to finish up my order this week on a L3800HST with loader, box blade and tiller. I went with R4 tires and quick attach loader bucket as I move square bales I thought the pallet forks would be useful. The price seems very competitive but I just won't be happy without some haggling...

Brother closed escrow Friday on an old pioneer homestead and I went over Saturday with my ride on Craftsman mower to lend a hand. Seven hours later I had the 30" high grass around the home and outbuildings cut and had to refuel 5 times! Found I could make the best headway by taking 1/4 passes...

Hello All, Last night I was loading a #650 log splitter into the bed of my pickup with a strap and my QA forks. My loader got to a height where it wouldn't go any higher eventhough there was plenty of cylinder remaining; couldn't even curl forks for additional height to clear the truck's...

Some of you may have read my other threads talking about getting a Kioti CK27. Well that didn't pan out. Couldn't get financing through agri credit for some reason. Anyway, I ran across a 2011 Kubota L3800 HST with fel with only 203 hours on it for $15,300. Great looking tractor. Filled out the...

If you recall, my 2012 L3800 was taken in for it's initial service at 53 hours. Afterwards, it had lost power and would bog down, suddenly going from 2200 rpm to 800 or so. When it would do this it would smoke and cough but never die. I could engage the clutch and it would ease up some and do...

Thanks to everyone that shares their knowledge on here. After 2.5 years of reading on tractors I am about ready to buy my first one. I checked out the Yanmar LX4100 and it was too big for my needs...also seemed a little jerky. Also looked at the Kubota MX5100, but it was about the same size...

I am seriously looking at a 2013 L 3800. Price with Shuttle shift, QD Loader and backhoe w/ thumb, loaded tires (ag) is $29,000 delivered. Being in Upstate Vt. I don't look for smoking deals like people get down South because they rarely happen. So what sort of deal is this to you...

Started working on my food plots yesterday. This tractor is the perfect setup for small food plots while navigating around trees. This was my first time using a tiller behind a tractor and I was very impressed how deep it actually digs.

Hi I'm thinking of purchasing a Kubota l3800 has any one had problems and comment on the l3800 appreciate

Hi all, A great, fellow TBN'er sent me the Kubota Whole Goods Catalogue, so I probably have the answer already. But I just wanted to double-check, because this catalogue appears to be for 2013, and I'm looking at 2011-2012 machines and older, and I wanted to be sure there weren't conflicting...

Well walked in to buy a backpack sprayer and ended up buying a L3800 HST Quick Attach loader - Ag tires - and a 5' land pride hog . Got a cruise control in the mail for it . Gas'n up at the local CO-OP on the dealers dime Got it home . Sent from my iPhone 5 using TractorByNet

Just bought a new L3800 with a FEL a few days ago and got her home on my hilly farm in SE Ohio. I got the AG tires for it and have them set out as far as they will go so it will be as stable as possible on different terrain. Anyhow I was wondering just how stable is this tractor? What kind of...

Hey folks. New here to the forum and I just bought a new Kubota L3800 with FEL. I haven't got to play I mean work with it yet but I'm getting excited. Anyhow I was wondering what size trailer I need to look for to put this tractor on with the FEL and a rotary tiller. Also will my Ford F150 with...

Took my L3800 in at 53 hours for the initial maintenance. After I got it back it just isn't the same. 1. Power is down. 2. It bogs down. Revs will suddenly drop from 2100 to 1700 to 1200 to 700 and if I clutch it, revs come back immediately. It's almost like the transmission bogs it down. It's...

Did my first oil change yesterday and was a bit taken back afterwards. I drained all the oil from both drain plugs on the bottom of the pan, removed oil filter, and let it all drain until empty. Put back in the drain plugs, new oil filter, and put in 7.5 quarts per the owners manual for oil &...

Does anyone here have the Horst HLA 1000 series quick-attach snow blade to go with their L3800? What width did you end up going with, and how's that working out for you?

Can someone advise if this BH I located for sale would fit on my L3800? I had a set on remotes installed on tractor when I purchased it. Thanks.

As the title says, I'm looking for a Rotary Cutter for a Kubota L3800. Most of my work will be cutting woody brush (small stuff) honeysuckle and grass. I dont have a large area to cut maybe 3 acres that have been cleared with a bobcat forestry cutter. But have a lot of other area's that need...

Found a great deal on a nearly new fx90. Any concerns with operating the 800# unit on a L3800? My tires are loaded and have the 66" front bucket. Thanks for your thoughts.

Just thought I would check with other L3800 Owners as to the fuel consumption per hour, since I refill my tank out of 5 gallon jugs mine is more of a guesstimate of about a gallon per hour. What are you guys seeing out of your tractors?

I have some questions on the L3800 HST. -Are all of them interim Tier4 that are currently sold. Meaning that Kubota plans to discontinue the model when full tier 4 is enforced? If I buy one out of state, I don't want to show up and find that it is Common rail with DPF. -Where are they made? I...

My father bought a MF 243, unfortunately just a few short years before he became too sick to use it. It belongs to my brother now and the only thing he uses it for is mowing and dragging off the occasional fallen tree. It has a Massey loader and came with two remotes that have never been used...

Planning on a purchase next July and starting to do my due diligence. What do you guys think of this package deal from a dealer over in Alabama? L3800HSTL Kubota LA 524 Loader 5FT Bush Hog 5FT Box Blade 18 ft trailer Cash price of $22,000. I haven't talked to them about financing so I...

I have a 2012 kubota l3800. It has 52 hours on it. I was using it today and the fel wouldn't lift. It would lift and curl but not lift straight up. The backhoe won't do anything. I noticed a na soundng from under the tractor that stops when the wobble stick is engaged. Could this be...

Just bought a Kubota L3800 HST 4wd with a FEL, Box Scraper, and 5Ft Rotary Cutter. Starting a business up in Northern AZ doing residential grading, driveways, acreage mowing, etc. Finally changing careers after 20 years of telecommunications and doing what I love most running equipment. My...

Greetings, TripleR, (And the following is also addressed to any and all who'd care to contribute their opinions, experiences, etc...). I have a question about your Grammar air ride seat. I may be moving into the L's (perhaps an L3800-class machine), because all my searching for a low-hour...

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...

Demo unit with 91 hrs, full factory warranty, rear remotes, SSQA bucket for 19,500 & 0% for 60 mos. A little late to ask if this is a deal or not since I already put 1000 down. I just started reading the buying/pricing forum tonight and was alarmed to read that I may be required to purchase...

I have an old AC and John Deere two wheel drive tractors now but am wanting to trade the AC 6140 in on a 4WD that is more sized to what we need for vegetable farming. Main use would be pulling a plastic mulch layer for vegetable farming as well as a water wheel trans-planter for the...

I have a Kubota L3800 HST, and I am in the process of adding an extra directional control valve to run a power angle plow. I need to know which lines (green, white, or I forget the third color) are which. I think the hydraulic line with the green tape from the block under the right running...

Hi all, This is my first post (and a long one) having joined the list to better educate myself on the most appropriate tractor for our needs over the long run. I mean that literally, has anyone succeeding in buying a tractor at 50 that met their needs until retirement and beyond? ?r are the...

What would be the maximum weight or a 5' or 6' disc and 5' mower that these tractors would handle. Want to get the most heavy duty ones that I can but don't want to get one to heavy for the tractor.

I think I have narrowed down my tractor upgrade to either a Massey Ferguson 1635 (shuttle) or Kubota L3800 (gear) both with loaders. They have relatively the same HP, but the Massey has less at the PTO but has a more user friendly transmission and more loader capacity. The Massey is also about...

BackGround: Our little John Deere D120 riding lawnmower isn't cutting the mustard, or should I say "It isn't cutting the fescue and ryegrass." The tranny sucks (known problem) and the deck quality equally creates such an oral vacuum. I am on my second deck. I am quite happy with my Compact...

Hello, new member, first post, first tractor, long time lurker. So I have been researching tractors based on the dealers available within about 100 miles. I spent a lot of time looking over the Kubota B2600/2900 and L3200/3800 and finally decided that the L3800 HST would more than meet my needs...

We own about 35 acres here in VT and the wife has a LONG list of work to be done, once we choose the proper sized tractor with a backhoe. I have some close-in work to be done around the house such as removing old porch posts to set new ones deeper, excavate along the foundation on one side to...

Plan to purchase a compact tractor for 8 acres of gently rolling pasture. Will need to brush hog about 5 acres, till 1/2 garden, 300' gravel driveway to maintain, couple cows to feed and other random projects. Please give your best unbiased advice. I'm trying to decide which tractor to choose. I...

My b-i-l bought an L3800 last winter. I got to drive it a little bit this past week. Nice unit, with 23 hours on it now. He lives in Houston, but this went to his retirement cabin up in the Black Hills. Hopefully, the southern boys put in enough additive to keep the tires from freezing. :)...

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...

Needed a little weight when using the RC without the FEL on hills. I am going to build a bumper / tie-rod protector but didn't want it to be too heavy. My front tires are 27x8.50-15 R4's. I used window washer fluid and each tire held right at 6.5gal. That's about 108# of front weight that is on...

I am thinking I need to get a box blade to use behind my Kubota L3800. It is 4x4, HST and has FEL. I will be using the BB for hard packed gravel driveway maintenance (100yd long), dirt access road that runs back into the woods on my property (1 mile long maybe), cutting drainage ditches, and...

Any pros/cons about a L3800? Looking for a tractor & thinking about this one. Any info would be appreciated.

Anyone noticed after releasing the clutch the tractor makes a noise. Sounds like its coming from transmission area. Is this the hydro pump? Thanks

I just got my tractor back from the dealership after my 50 hour service. I ran it about 5 minutes to load it up on the trailer, drove it home about 90 minutes, and then bushhogged for 12 minutes. Then it stopped. Uh oh. It restarted fine, but then sputtered and stopped again. Restarted it. Ran...

I have a Kubota B2400 HST with loader and belly mower and turf tires. It has 335 hours on it. Stored inside. Runs and looks great. I am looking to sell it to upgrade to an L3800. Any pricing advise? I checked tractorhouse.com but there really wasn't much comparable. My searches led me here...

Greetings.... I have a Kubota L3800 HST. Today I bought a King Kutter 5' tiller. It was drizzling rain when I got home, and I haven't even taken it off the trailer yet. Just wondering if anyone else has used the KK tiller with a L3400 or L3800. Question: Did you have to Cutdown the PTO...

Hello! New member here looking for some help and advice on my first tractor purchase. I have been doing some research and looking for a month or so. I am not completely sold on the Kubota L3800 or L4600 but I am leaning hard toward one or the other. We have a local dealer that I really like...

I was set to order a new L3800 HST with FEL, but one of the local dealers has a 2010 L3940 with 244 hrs on it for about the same price. The 3940 also has extra remotes rear and mid. So which are more valuable, the extras, or the warranty of a new tractor? My use will be on a hilly 125 acre...

Its going to be a long two weeks until the new orange shows up at my place, But its ordered! L3800 - Hydro Loaded R4's FEL w/60'' bucket 1 rear remote Cruise RCR1260 rotary cutter Now i just need to source a toothbar and i'll be good for a while.....

Does the L3800 have two air filters (inner and outer) or just one? If just one which replacement do you buy? Thank!

Just purchased a L3800, waiting(and waiting) on Ag tires to arrive and be installed. We have steep slopes so, I'm considering increasing the width for stability. 1) how can width be increased, and by how much? 2) currently tractor is 60" wide, I purchased 65" box scraper, should I move up to a...

Although I bought my L3800 last May, I didn't get to use it hardly at all last year. (So far I've only put 10.2 hours on it:) But after spending half of that time cutting brush yesterday, I now realize it's too small. And without sounding like a wuss, I would be happier with a cab. To...

Hey Gang, looong time lurker in regards to my old '78 JD 2040 and first time poster. I've been trying for a few years now to upgrade my tractor situation- the weather here in the winter is pretty much the worst in the country- feet of snow, 100+mph winds, drifts like you wouldn't believe. So...

Hey guys. Great site. I am really stuck. I am looking at two new tractors and I am having trouble deciding. JD 3520, Power Reverser, 300x loader, R4 tires, fluid filled rear tires $23,600 Kubota L3800, HST, heaviest loader, R4 tires, fluid filled rear tires $21,900 Any thoughts? Both...

Put chains on my rear tires, almost no side clearance and they clank and rub a bit on the frame. I've heard of people setting their rear tires wider. I don't need much more clearance, how hard is it to do? Any cons to this? I figure another plus would be better stablility on hills. I don't...

Well I dropped in one of those long white plastic fittings from a fuel container into my fuel tank. I can't see it now but will maybe once I burn some diesel off. Is it destined to spend it's life in my fuel tank? What tool would you use to get it out? I thought maybe all you smart guys here...

Finally got enough snow to take tractor out!

Hey guys...new to the forum. I narrowed my new tractor purchase down to 3. Out of the 3; Bobcats specs are the best (most features, weighs most and fel lifts most). Also, they are at the lowest pricepoint. My concern is that resale and eventually service and parts are going to take a hit. I...

Thanks to folks on this forum I have been directed to Kubota jerky 3 pt problems that have frustrated some owners. Does anyone have any experience with an L3800 jerky 3 pt. The dealer says they are not aware of any issues on this tractor.

Does anyone have rear hydraulic remotes installed on their L3800. My dealer say they can install them for me, but I'd like to see a picture of what they would look like. I don't want them kludged onto the tractor. pictures of any dealer installed ones would be appreciated.

Anybody got one?

I have a 2012 Kubota L3800 HST. While plowing (all wheel selector engaged) through a hard spot and the tractor starts to spin, the right front wheel does not spin. Is this normal?

I'm looking at Kubota L 3200 and 3800s and was wondering what Mahindra had in this hp and size tractor. Also Id like to here what you owners think of Mahindra? Thanks for your help.

Discovered a bit of coolant under the tractor last weekend. Apparently happened after parking it. Poked around a bit looking for the source and discovered this: Tractor is less than 100 hrs and it's the unmolested stock hose & clamp - which besides being installed askew was also under...

On the gear drive model what is the difference between the way the 2 PTO work? Would the L3200 work with things like pumps or a PTO gen set, tools that are PTO driven but do not require the tractor to be moving? Thanks,

It's come down to this. My local dealer is finally offering an acceptable deal, but only on 3032E machines and 3038E. Originally I thought these were great for the money, but I started researching Kubota and it seems maybe they offer a lot more tractor in comparison to JD. I want to pull the...

Hi, I've been reading this forum for over a year now, and am impressed with all the information contained within it. I know that this question or one similar to it has probably come up, but I personally would like to know the pros and cons of a Kubota verses the Kioti. I look forward to your...

Long story short, I'm trying to determine how reasonable it is to improve an L3800 for hillside (side hill) work within a reasonable budget ( a few/5K). In other words, how much can the L3800's (4x4 HST, currently with loaded R1s) stability be improved for side hill work without compromising...

First let me say that I've done a lot of searching in the forums in order to see if this has already been answered. While I've found a lot of general information, I don't feel confident that I can piece it together to comfortably go make some purchases. I have a 2012 Kubota L3800 (hydro, so...

Not too bad for someone who doesn't know how to weld. There's about 10 hours of fabrication and painting in it. I spent $30 at the scrapyard for parts. $35 in hardware from lowes. And $25 in spray paint. Btw I think that Rustoleum "Lobster Red" is pretty dang close to Kubota orange.

Been having problems starting the above. It's hit or miss but when it's having problems starting we move the HST peddle forward and back a few times and that does the trick. We checked the clutch peddle safety button and that is working just fine. Any help appreciated Any help appreciated

The only available L3800 shop manual from Messicks is an L3800 DT. I have an HST... Where can I go to get the L3800 HST manual or will the DT one suffice? Thanks!

For those of you who may be interested, I just made this deal: $20,150 to purchase: L3800 HST with cruise control, a canopy, R4 tires, fluid in the rear tires, LA524 loader with quick attach 66" bucket Land Pride rotary cutter RCR 1860. The 3 Kentucky dealers I contacted and asked for...

Anyone know how to adjust where neutral is on the L3800 HST pedal? The tractor shuts down when I get off the seat and I've isolated it down to the safety switch thinking the tractor is not in neutral. Any help appreciated!

On the L3800 to the left of the brake pedals is a steel cover for the neutral safety switch. It's part of the linkage for the HST and I need to access that area so I can clean it out. My 3800 won't start sometimes and I think it's because the linkage sticks. Has anyone done this? Is it...

I just changed all my filters for the first time and ive got a ton of metal shavings in my hydro filter. Im trying to load up a picture. Anyone else get a lot of metal in the filter. My 2nd question is wondering if those shavings are going to be all over my rear end and tearing up seals?

Very interesting site. What is correct operation of brakes to assist turning on a Kubota L3800?

Want to upgrade my b7800 with 5' r/c. I will use this on wild cherry trees and chinaberrys which can be really tough. Also have 7 acre pasture. Will i be ok with a 6'? I really want a 6'. One dealer said 6 is fine another said i would be better with a 5'. I really think an l4600 is overkill for...

New member here. We have a 3-acre pond. I want to mow the most level and shallow edges of the pond--not the dam--with a sickle bar mower. This includes mowing the reeds, etc., that grow in the edge of the water. We have a Kubota L3800 tractor. I have done some research on the Internet and...

There is a "castle nut" with a cotter pin holding it on the bottom of the "knuckle" next to the front tire. I lifted the tractor (L3800) with the front bucket and the front tire was hanging loose but even after removing the castle nut I could not separate the knuckle to replace the dust boot. I...

I have a brand new kubota L3800 hydro tractor with a BH77 Backhoe with only 3 hrs on it. With the loader bucket on the ground, the backhoe boom will not lift the rear wheels off the ground. The dealer told me that it's probably because the tires are loaded. I think it should easily pick up...

I have a kubota l3800 and a big drum full of used motor oil i was wondering about filtering it and mixing if with my deisel fule in my tractor but i did not know if it would damage anything ????

Have narrowed my endless quest to get this right to these two models. They both have the same price. $18,600 with FEL. Loaded tires. Give me your best argument for one vs the other. Both local dealers. Both helpful and informative. What say you?

The L3800 is on my short list. I got a quote this week of $19,200 cash $20,200 finance for an L3800 with cruise, FEL with SSQA, and no bucket. All rebates are already subtracted. Seems a little high to me, what say you? Thanks

Two quick questions about the L3800. 1. Does the cruise control work in reverse? 2. Is the suspension seat a true suspension seat, or is it the type that has a hinge under the front of the seat and two coil springs supporting the back? (My B2400 was like this). Thanks!

My L3800 4x4 HST with 77 hours on the meter has started leaking oil. It is comming from the the seal between the left (range lever side) axel assembly and the center section of the rear end. Have any of you guys had this problem? What did it take to fix it? Is there a flat rate price on...

Hi guys I'm looking for a small tractor to replace my 4010 as the acreage tractor. The 4010 is a bit heavy on the lawn. I do still want a tractor not a glorified lawn mower. Loader work will be a priority as well as some cultivating and re- seeding pasture. I only have 14 acres of pasture...

Anybody have any pictures of rear wheel weights on a L3200, L3400 or L3800. Or a link. Can't find them on the Kubota site? I'm thinking of ordering a set or two, but would like to see what they look like first. Thanks!

I live on 10 acres and plan to use the tractor for landscaping, road maintenance, snow clearing, digging, spreading, brush-hogging, possibly finish-mowing (more on that later), food plots and just general odd-jobs around the place. I've also got a hunting farm (154 acres) a couple hours away...

Hi Has anyone made a grill guard for a L3800? Would like some ideas Thanks Alan

Got a branch stuck underneath and HST pedal was slightly stuck. All debris removed. Now it's fine moving forward but sluggish in reverse even when pressed firmly down. Ideas? Again nothing appears to be binding. Thanks!!!

Did a little playing on it today, to be sure everything worked, to check that the backhoe mounts up, and to check for the DREADED JERKY HITCH. First, I'm really diggin' this hydro thing. I wish I had gone HST 7 years ago. Live and loin. Second, the ride with these turfs and suspended seat is...

Are the differences? If so what are they?

Kind of a silly ? but I just bought a L3800(delivered next week) and never even thought to ask if it had down hyd on the 3 point. Andy

Dealer quote for L 3800 HST, 4wd, 524 Loader pack, fluid in back tires, which i believe to Industrial, was not on the quote but does not matter to me if they are ag. $18250. Seemed like an OK price for just walking in telling him what I was generally looking for. Going back this week sometime...

I have been kicking aroun the idea of trading in my 2011 L3800 Tractor by it self for a Grand L 3540. ( This Jerky 3 point hitch is driving my OCD nuts!!) Just wondering if my loader and backhoe will work on the Grand L, on kubotas website it looks like the BH77 is an option for the Grand L...

After owning the the bx25 for 3 years I`m now upgrading to the L 3800 I would like to thank everyone here that helps people out with the big decision of buying a tractor with all their timely advice and discussions it really helped my decision on what type and model of tractor to buy. My...
