kubota l5740

Haven't seen it in person yet, but owner says it runs well, etc. Looks in good shape. Says he has the maintenance records. Really like the loader capacity for lifting, dirt work, etc. which is a big reason I need the tractor. Its HST. Assuming good maintenance, how many hours can be...

First off I am very familiar with Kubotas, Hydrostatic transmissions, and their "normal" noises. Unfortunately this is not one of them. My L5740 has a rattle, bad bad rattle, like ball bearings being shook in an empty 1 gallon paint paint can. When starting, push the clutch in, start the...

I have a 12 year old L5740 running the original R4's. I just got a flat on a front tire while plowing snow, and the tire came off the rim while I was moving up to a spot where I could park without blocking my own access. This tire has 2 patches already and I'm guessing one failed. I am...

We are looking at a used L5740. Is there somewhere we can find out any information on the tractor via the serial number? I've Googled, but come up empty. Serial number is L5740D71855. Supposedly a 2003 model.

Was wondering if anyone has moved big round bales with the fel and how much did they weigh. These are around 1500# . Don’t want to find a ssqa bale spear and be disappointed. Thanks

Unique hydraulic question for the group. On my L5740, I have added a 4 spool electric solenoid valve body plumbed into the backhoe hydraulic loop, and I also have 2 factory remotes. I am looking to add a compact loader valve with float function, it will be a great way to control 2 separate...

I've got an L5740, and There's 2 green wire harnesess under my seat. Both appear to be powered 12v when the key is on. What are these for? What are they fused at? I'm looking to add an LED lightbar to my ROPS, and wasn't sure if I could just use one of these, and switch it for my lights - or...

If you ever get into your L series (mine is L5740) and you turn on key and nothing happens, as if the battery had been removed, read on. On the positive battery post connector there is a small spade. On the main fuse box (top cover is marked Main, Keystop, Alternator, Glow) there is a short...

My L5740 would not start because the battery was dead because a switch to an attachment was left on...or so I thought. When I went to hook up my jumper cables so I could unload it off my trailer, the positive cable was loose. However, even after hooking up the jumper cables, I could not get ANY...

The front tires on my L5740 are pretty worn out, and more of a problem is that they are under rated for the loader capacity. These are R1 tires, 9.5x16 6 ply rated for 1390 lbs each. Rounding up, that's 2800 lbs for the axle. The tractor & loader weigh about 5200 lbs excluding the rear wheel...

I was out working the tractor hard clearing brush and honeysuckle with my root grapple on. About 1 hour in, I'm working an area that's facing downhill. Seatbelt on and being very careful to not tip. At one point, I went to backup and the engine tried to stall. kept doing it. I set the brake...

Got such great advice on the M7060 issue that I thought I'd ask the following: Anybody ever had their air conditioner drains clogged? How did you unclog them? I noticed a small amount of water come out of one of the air conditioning vents (they are in the ceiling of the cab) and my wife...

I’m always looking for ways to limit my time spent using a weed wacker! I’ve got 10 acres to maintain, 2 streams, many banks, and a tree line around the entire property. I’ve been looking at ditch bank flails, sickle cutters, etc etc. I’m looking to run something on my L5740 w BH92 backhoe...

I was in love with her yesterday..... today I'm not so sure.... feels like she dumped me. Parked the L5740 in my shop this afternoon and the puddle of condensation from the AC caught my eye, then "What's that?" Several drops of black oil. Coming from the clutch weep pin. So looks like...

We have noticed a smell that resembels stale water in our cabbed L5740. My wife mostly uses this tractor. I figured I'd replace the cab air filter. Today I noticed a "tumor" in the headliner. I don't recall seeing this bump before. I'll be really embarrassed if someone tells me it is...

Trying to see if there is anyone out there who has done anything similar to what I am thinking. Also, please let me know if there are any flaw in my plan. So, I have a 5740 with 2 factory rear remotes (neither are float valves), and I added a diverter valve for the loader. I'm wanting to add...

I hooked up my wood chipper, ran it briefly to check everything, then drove tractor to my neighbors. Engine was running, started PTO while sitting on seat, PTO indicator was on but PTO did not turn. Messed around and eventually made the mistake of shutting off the tractor. Now it will...

I bought my L5740 without 3 point hardware. I have since sourced everything, minus the top link. I've decided to go with a hydraulic top link, seeing as I have 2 rear remotes. That said, I have no idea what the original top link length is, and if that same measurement is preferred for a...

I was greasing my new to me 5740 before a long day of earth moving. While greasing the 2 front axle zerks, I noticed half of an o ring protruding between the front axle case and the axle holder. In the drawing below, the part is 070. I'm assuming the o ring is there simply to hold the grease...

I am looking to add a diverter function to my front loader, on my 5740. I fully understand the difference between a diverter and a third function in both installation and function. What I can't be sure of, is whether or not a diverter will function properly on my machine. It looks like others...

I tried to shift my tractor out of 4wd after spreading some dolomite. I put gentle pressure on the lever and turned slowly to relieve the pressure on the drivetrain. The lever came up fully, but the front wheels are still engaged. The lever does nothing and moves with very little resistance...

I just picked up a nice L5740-3 with BH92 backhoe. It's clean, has 800 hours, no service history so I will be going through everything this Summer. First off, are there downloadable manuals floating around anyone could share? I like to get my hands on every service, parts, and operation...

I have got a line on a nice L5740 with a BH92 backhoe. The issue is, the 3 point hitch hardware that was removed to install the hoe has been lost. Anyone know the cost to buy everything needed from Kubota? Minus the missing hardware, this unit has everything I need. Thanks in advance, it...

I知 in the market for a used Grand 40 series. I found what appears to be a clean one about an hour from me, but it has no remotes or third function. On the third function, it looks like everyone likes the WR Long kit that costs about a grand. Is the factory Kubota setup cheaper or better in...

I just received these Euro weld-on hooks from Fit Rite Hydraulics. Brian was great to work with and the workmanship is 2nd to none. The home-made trailer mover/weight package shown was always a killer to remove and install. I can't wait to use them on the rest of my 3-point attachments. They...

Good Morning, Looking at some purchase options and wondering if this is a viable set-up: L5740 4WD hst w/FEL using a 1600 lb twin spindle 8 ft pull type rotary cutter. Terrain is 40 acres, clean/cleared pasture (1-2 ft) grass, rolling hills, nothing too steep. Will the 5740 handle this, at a...

My 2013 L5740 won't start. It is a cabbed model. I turn the key and get "Error-40". It won't even turn over. I looked this up in the shop manual and see it says: Input voltage to sensor from ECU is failed. Probable cause is Sensor input voltage drop below 2.6 V for 0.1 second or more...

I've got a L5740 and I normally move round bales around without issue (prob 1k lbs). However, I'm looking to get some rubber arena footing in 2000lbs super sacks. They can send on a semi with or without a gate. I keep a barrel filled with concrete on the 3pt as my balast, as well as fluid...

So the wiring(4 wires) leading into my OEM Kubota third function on off switch(but not the open and close buttons) got torn loose from the joystick taking half of the switch body with it. It's a 3 amp latching illuminated switch, so i bought another switch with same dimensions/functionality and...

my L5740 started with a small exhaust leak on the front cylinder after BH this summer I am in the process of removing it to replace the gaskets. its turninginto more of a job than I thought due to egr cooler and turbo inlet. the manifold is pretty rusty any else had problems with exhaust leaks?

Recently my loader is not holding the bucket position. I find the bucket fully dumped within a few hrs of shutting it down. Lift and curl feel fine when operating and i can see no leaks on the cylinders or hoses or connections. Fluid is correct level and no contaminants I am thinking there must...

Hello all. 2010 Kubota L5740 HST3 with 350 hours. Fueled up and moved some dead trees for about 30 minutes. Drove up to the pole barn to top up before putting away and noticed smoke coming from under hood. Popped the hood open and notice what I thought was hydraulic all spray and realized it was...

I've been researching tire sizes over the years trying to find a front R4 tire to fix the front to rear lag ratio present on this model (and several others) as they come from the factory with the 10-16.5 front and 17.5L-24 R4 tires. There is a -.43% lag condition with the factory R4's, which is...

Hi, I've read through the various threads on this topic, but couldn't get a clear answer on these tires in place of stock 9.5-16 R1 tires. The particular Michelin XM108 is the 320/65R16. The rolling diameter is the same, but width is 12.2" vs 9.5" on the Goodyear DuraTorq 9.5-16 that are on...

I would like to add third function hydraulics on my l5740 dealer wants almost 1000 dollars just for parts seems high to me. Where is the best place to purchase a kit ? Thanks

Two wires with female spade adapters inside the cab in the rear up close to the caution lights...what are they? I put a volt meter on them with the front lights on and the flashers on.....along with the key switch on...not voltage.

So I am trading a 2004 M6800 Cab and 15 foot batwing for a pre-emissions 2013 L5740 and 12 foot batwing. Both batwings are Landpride. I am looking forward to HST vs Hydro Shuttle. I wanted this tractor (or the L6060) from the beginning and allowed some buddies to talk me out of it. I was a...

For the past two years I've been searching for a ~60 hp hydrostatic compact Kubota. I went back and forth between the L5740 and L6060. Ultimately I decided I wanted to stick with the non-regen, less emissson controlled model. I also wasnt thrilled with the placement of the loader hydro lines on...

I have an L5740 that the pto switch sticks on every now and then. When you turn it to the off position the pto lights go out but the drive stays engaged with with mid or rear pto. Has anybody had this type of problem and found a solution? I plan on taking apart the panel this weekend and look...

I have wanted a backhoe forever. Had the L5740HSTC for a few years I hesitated getting a hoe for it since I would have to get out of the cab to do any work. I am trying to decide if I should even consider it or look for a dedicated backhoe loader or excavator and skidsteer as a replacement. I...

Looking to buy a complete L2195A snowblower with sub-frame and driveshaft. Please send photos, condition, and price to: email: hwytwoss@gondtc.com Thanks, Paul Cell: 701-740-7433

Good morning, I'm looking for advice from anyone who has a backhoe mounted to their L5740 cab tractor. I have the third function on the loader and one rear remote, installed by the dealer. I spent last evening looking things over, and it looks like the hydraulic pressure comes off the pump at...

Just wondering if anyone has pallet forks on a L5740 with factory loader and with skid steer univ. attach? Can you see the tips of the forks at ground level and when spaced about 30"? If so, do you have 42" or 48" long forks. Thanks.

Running R4's, is there enough clearance (couple inches?) at the rear cab post to accommodate a set of tire chains? Or will I need a pair of small wheel spacers?

What am I missing on the advantages of each? L5740HSTC- Simpler Tier 3 Emissions, Better (more protective) hose routing, slightly lower prices, more used units on the market L6060HSTC- Less smoke, larger cab, newer, slightly more power (insignificant?), slightly less fuel(?) I haven't been...

I'm playing around in my mind about selling my MX5100HST and looking for a low hour cabbed 5740. One issue is that I have the BH92 hoe and apparently only the -3 version of the cabbed L-series can accept the subframe and mount for the BH92. Is there a year or S/N that would signal the...

Howdy, folks. My wife recently traded in my L3130 on a used L5740HSTC with an L2195A snow thrower so I can clear the driveways at our new place in comfort.:) I started the tractor up the other day and read the manual while I checked out every control and display. I could not get the mid-PTO for...

Several days ago while laser grading a softball infield, I stepped out of my L5740 to make an adjustment and noticed lots of diesel pouring out of the fuel filter. There is a small elbow on the filter assembly where the fuel leave the filter going to the pump. That small elbow had just come...

Still love my 5740 but was looking at deals now being offered and the cab on other models like the 6060 look inviting. Any thoughts?

After anxiously awaiting my upgrade from a 5030, I put the new tractor into high gear to drive home and it completely bogged down when I pushed the Hst pedal down. I could only get it to work when the H-DS was in low. I opened up the filters and saw what's in the picture. This debris was in...

So after pushing snow last Monday, I came into my shop on the next day and noticed a puddle of oil on the floor by my right front tire. Figured out that my outer axle bearing went out, taking the seal with it. No big deal on that repair. Separated the hub section, replaced both the inner and...

Just picked up a L5740 with bad wheel bearing took it apart today outer bearing is wiped out axel junk and shim is junk also . Went to local dealer ordered parts don't know witch shim I need ordered all three any one know how to tell witch one I need?

Any one know where I can get a good radio for our L5740

I bought an L5740 Cab HST (AC/heat.etc) in 11/13 new as one of the last new ones around at the time. It has around 75 hours (50 hour service done at dealer), quick detach bucket, Titan grapple, 3rd front hydraulics, R4s and weighted rear wheels. My place is VERY hilly and I just find myself...

Hi folks. I'm looking for some possible solutions to a new problem on a new to me tractor. I recently bought a 2011 kubota L5740 HSTC. The other day I had a woods 5' bush cutter on the tractor and was running down the road from my field to my home as I wanted to wash the bush cutter off after...

Did all my servicing a couple weeks ago. New hydraulic fluids and filters, fuel filter, air filter, oil and filter. Cleaned everything and greased everything. Ran great for a week. Did some weed tilling for about 20 minutes today when tractor started running rough, rpm swinging from 300 to 1400...

Yesterday, I was loading sod with my front end loader and I could hear and feel a chatter. Suddenly, it got a lot worse and the left front wheel locked up. It would not roll at all. When I looked at it, oil was pouring out. Turns out the bearing failed. It must have been bad for a while...

They sure put it in an easily accessible spot. It looks like I need to remove the air filter to get it out? Is that the easiest route? Any other suggestions? Thanks!

Hey there, new to the site and buying a tractor very soon. I'm going to look at a Kubota 5740 tomorrow, enclosed cab, FEL, l2195a front mount 72" blower and around 500 hours on it. What are the major concerns with this amount of hours, and what seems like a fair price? Seller says its in...

Had the third function valve installed over the weekend and used the grapple for an hour or so today. Impressed with the build quality and will certainly help on upcoming land clearing projects. I think at this point I can offer my thumbs up on the unit! Steve

any information on Kubota L5740,what is the narrowest the tractor will go to.want to use in avocado orchard,spraying and mowing.Is it suitable for this purpose.

I just picked up a set of turf tires and rims for my L5740 and when I went to put the rears on, I was left with only about 1/4" of space between the tire and the cab post. I don't think that's enough. I searched for some spacers, but didn't find anything made for my tractor. I will...

I just picked up used 2012 Kubota Grand L5740 cab tractor and I am very pleased with the performance overall. One thing that is not so great is the very poor design, positioning and mounting of the rear hazard lights. I've already broken off two light assemblies while getting to or working on...

Does this look like a reasonable deal for this machine? 2010 L5740 w FEL (144 hrs) 2010 Kubota HS5740 like new 144hrs

I traded my 2009 L5740 open station with about 750 hours for this 2011 Cab with just under 300 hours. My daughter and son-in-law left Sunday night and drove to Tulsa (about 9 hours) and made the swap and got back around midnight Monday night. I've put about 9 hours on it since I got it fitted...

I have found someone locally who has a Kubota MX5000 with some Galaxy 41/18LL-16.1 rear tires and rims that he wants to trade for my 17.5L-24 R4's. He also has turf tires on the front that he will trade too, but I'm not sure of the size of the fronts. I'm pretty sure the bolt patterns are the...

My L5740 has about 624 hours on it now. I bought it with about 475 hours. I decided to change the hydraulic/transmission oil and filters myself. The filters cost me about $130, and 10 gal of oil cost me about $220 including tax from my Kubota dealer. There are 3 places to drain the oil. One...

I am about to order a semi-load of goods delivered on pallets. Each pallet will weigh right at 2000lbs + the weight of the palette. I have a L5740HST /ROP, a QC pallet fork I purchased from North American Implement (?). I don't have wheel weights or filled tires. I do not know quite how to...

Hello, I have a 2008 L5740 HSTC tractor. Today i noticed the brake lights weren't working and the headlights were dim. High beams work, but low beam it's dim. I've checked the fuses and they're ok, check brake light bulbs, they're fine one headlight on high beam is burn out, but I don't think...

Have 5+ years on my battery, want to plan for replacement. Printed on oem battery NX110-5MF, 80D26R, 582CCA. What 'group' number have you guys used as replacement on these models with no modifications? Thanks. Philip.

One of my driveways today. It's been fun getting snow like this. I've always looked forward to "snow days" since I was in school. The toys just got a little bigger :D So far, the tractor has been surpassing my expectations. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQuYDjXtBng

I have a L5740 with the 3rd remote that works fine with my grapple bucket but with the front mount snowblower, I set it to the chute valve and it will not work correctly. When I purchased the unit when you activated the remote the shoot shot up or down with no feather control? I purchased...

Sorry if this is a repeat, but I searched and couldn't find anything addressing this question specifically. I have been considering a new Kubota to replace my well loved, faithful 2001 L4300 and have decided to go for one of these models with a cab. My main concern is if there will be any...

My local dealer is taking in a 2011 L5740 with turf tires, cab, air, heat, FEL and Kubota front mount snowblower. It has 240 +- hours on it for $35,000. I need to upgrade from my Ferguson TO-35. Any opinions on the price?

I've been struggling with this for a couple of weeks. My local Kubota dealer has a 2012 non Tier IV cab L5740, while my local JD dealer has both open station and cab non Tier IV 4720s. Being an engineer, I've thoroughly digested the specs. The prices are competitive. I will not buy Tier IV...

guys - I was so excited to get my dad the tractor i never thought where to store it??- Of course my Boss(Wife) always thinks of the logical- like where are you going to put it??- Would it fit in a normal garage -the tractor has a cab- thanks

I recently bought a used Kubota L5740. After a few hours working with it, the engine would just die for no apparent reason. After some searching, I have determined that the switch in the seat is not working properly. Sometimes when it would start to die, I would bounce on the seat and it...

Making the switch to large square bales. Bales are 3x3 (800lbs) ideal but could be 3x4(1200lbs?) Was looking at skid steers but the Deere/kubota 60month zero interest financing going on right now got me looking at tractors again. Budget is around $600month I need to be able to unload and...

Does anyone know the approximate weight of an L5740 with a cab, FEL, and loaded tires? I'm trying to figure out if the aluminum trailer I have for car racing is going to be enough to haul it if necessary. It's a Featherlite 18' with dual 3500 lb axles. Thanks in advance..

Hello - Thanks to the all the great folks here who responded to my original post on "Recommendations for 40 acre vineyard" and research from all the valuable information here at TractorByNet, I have decided on a Kubota L5740. I want to get one before they are all gone. I got a quote from a...

Can someone tell me if my tractor has a bypass water pump? I'm looking into putting a heater in the lower radiator hose and they state that a bypass is necessary, I assume so that the heated coolant can circulate and not blow a hose off ?? Also, what is the lower radiator hose size, guessing 1...

Thanks for all the advice on tractorbynet.com from everyone. Today I purchased the L5740HSTC today and should have it next week hopefully. I looked at many tractors of all brands and there are many nice ones out there, but I couldn't beat the deal I got. Tractor, FEL, Quick Attach bucket, R4...

Ok......I've got some great opinions from some here on TBN. I have decided on The Grand L series for my first tractor and am ready to buy this week. The question is, Do I wait for the new L6060 Tier 4 due out in a couple of weeks, or do I purchase the last L5740. Knowing that the L6060 cab...

Hey Gang! I know I posted my forward and rear facing safety lighting before. I realized that when I was backing or pulling out onto a street during snow removal, I didn't have any notification for traffic on the sides of my tractor. Why not a 360 deg beacon? Won't fit in the garage. So I found...

Is that a crazy idea? Kinda like driving a Mercedes to the landfill with the garbage cans in the trunk with the lid up? ;) Just wondering if the HST+ transmission would hold up to a small square baler @ 4-500 bales a year. Local dealer had a L5240 a few years back on the showroom floor. I...

Hi all, I'm wondering how much of an upgrade an L5740 would be from my current 4610 (39PTO HP and LA852 Loader.) Then on the other hand, I'm wondering how much of an upgrade an M7040 would be from my 4610. The thing I don't like about my 4610 is I need more power, both in lift capacity and...

I saw a few threads about L5240 & L5740 hp the only difference is maybe a turbo setting. Does anyone know if thats all it is? Any instructions on how to boost it up as the engines are the same. Thanks

Can anyone confirm the actual capacity of engine oil by experience. I think the book is wrong.:confused3:

I have a L5740 tractor and had the HST go out. It痴 giving me error code 82 HST NG. The problem started by the tractor creeping, then moved rapidly without hitting the peddle and finally barely moving and giving be error code 82. What do you think?.

Have had my brand new tractor for one month and it has been great. I was moving patio/ outside furniture (certainly nothing taxing) with the FEL and pallet forks yesterday. Later in the day I then noticed a dent in the center of the crossmember where this crossmember had obviously contacted...

Can't wait for the morning! Here it is being readied at the dealer today. I couldn't convince them to through the rtv in as part of the package though! :)

Have been looking for an assistant for my tractor and mini-excavator. My wife wasn't too keen on spending the money but took her to the dealer today and had her drive. Whole different class from the Polaris 6x6 she has been using what with the power steering and all. She had the check written...

I have searched all of the online parts manuals with no luck finding this part number. It is the guard that protects the tie rod on the front left wheel. It mounts to the axle case with 2 bolts on top, and one on the bottom. The tractor is a 2007 model tractor.

Would love to hear from any L5740 owners with their opinions and experiences operating one and any problems etc

Can anyone tell me what a third function value is or does and benefits if the option is available to have it? Im refering to a L5740. Anyone have or used a L5740? Is it as easy to operate as the brochure indicates? And brochure specs say it has 59HP

Okay I realize it is January and sun is very scarce especially around upstate NY this time of year but last summer when mowing the horse pastures after work I would encounter the sun blinding me as I navigated around those fields. These Grand L cab tractors don't come equipped with sun visers...

I know this is a little late, since I actually took delivery of my new tractor back on the 5th, but I thought I'd share some pictures. I ended up getting the L5740 HSTC with the LA854 loader, QA bucket, third function valve on loader, R4 tires (rears loaded), one rear remote (probably more in...

equipped with the FEL854 and third hydraulic function system as illustrated in the attached photo. Just today I finally finished getting the proper QA connectors installed for bucket grapple, snow blade etc, and therefore made the first powered use of the FEL 3rd function system. Upon...

I have a new L5740 on the way and I am planning on running 12-16.5 R4 tires on the front. To keep the correct drive ratio, I will need to run either 16.9-24 or 19.5L-24's on the rear. I'd like to get the whole wheel/ire combo from Kubota and swap out my stock wheels/tires at the dealer. I...

I have been over on the Kubota forum and decided to give some fellas here a chance at explaining my mystery. I have a Kubota L5740 with loader and I just installed a factory rear remote. As a general rule I checked the pressure after I installed just for the fun even thought I knew it had to be...

I just traded my L5340 for a L5730 and I was not able to disconnect the engine kill switch under the seat on the new model. I tape down the button on the right side of the seat. but they have a second switch in or under the seat I have not found. One of the main jobs I use the tractor for is...

Been trying to hold off posting till I had some pix for everyone. Gettin a new Grand L 5740 with every option minus the radio. Boy have I got a lot of flack at the dealer cuz of that. It's kinda funny, especially the service manager is giving me a hard time. I explained that the factory radio...

Well, I went from looking at used equipment to purchasing a new machine. I couldn't pass up Kubota's 0% 5 year financing and full warranty, so I ordered a new L5740 HSTC to replace my L3710. I will post pics when I get her home. I've found a used 8' Fisher plow pretty cheap that I'm looking...

I'm window shopping for an L5740 TLB open station with R4 tires and, maybe, an optional front blade. I would also want full F & R weight packages, 2 rear remotes, third function loader option and swinging drawbar. What kind of selling price should I expect in SE IN? SDT

I was looking at a used L5030 to purchase but have since found a lightly used L5740 for sale in my area. The only drawback is the 5740 has R1 tires, which I'm not really fond of. I'm selling my L3710 with R4's to my brother, and he would rather have R1's. These two tractors take the same size...

Last year i buy brand new kubota l5740 with cab , rear mount pronovost 80 inch snowblower and loader. I used my tractor only for snow removal contract in quebec. Yesterday i buy i brand new john deere 4720 with cab and normand snowblower (front mount). In april i would by able to make nice...

Been shopping for a m6040 (or 5040 or 7040 for the right price) for a while, but recently read the specs on the grand L series. That little L5740 looks impressive. The way I read it the loader is capable of lifting 2500 lbs (roughly same as the m6040), the three point hitch capacity is only...

Brought home my new L5740 9/1/11 I have a FEL on order to be installed. On the way home I came across a used 6ft Rotary cutter, picked that up too :thumbsup: Spent a little time Fri mowing the tops off the weeds nothing heavy as we are needing rain bad. Also towed a 12x12 3 sided shed I built...

I have found a new 2008 L5740 open station comes with full warranty offered 20K they accepted they have agreed to change all fluids/filters and new battery. what about it go for it ???

My L5740 ("Big T") came back today with some new shoes. Kind of funky looking, but should do the job they're design for - saving my turf and my ribs. My loaded Ag's were leaving shallow grooves in my fields. I spent days/weeks smoothing them with disk and tiller only to have them go washboard...

I'e been using an L5740 to mow fields with and once in a while ill get a large vibration that slowly gets more intense until im forced to shut the machine so i can check everything. Eventually happens is that is stops after shutting the PTO off and then back on. What do you think the problem?

Just a question for all L5740 owners. As I have only had mine a week and there are no more on any dealer lots I would like to know if they all act the same at start up when cold. Mine starts great with a puff of black smoke but then goes into a 5 second spell of expelling blue white smoke...

Looking at getting a 5740 cab does that fit in an 8 foot overhead door with R4 tires on it the book says 94.7 with the ag and i hope it is alittle smaller with r4s i have about 94.25 to the rubber seal any help would be great thanks

The autothrottle cable was adjusted from the factory at a pretty high rpm and after adjusting it all the way down the rpm still wants to go all the way to 1900 when the hst pedal is pushed all the way to the floor...which is still kind of high in my book. I was hoping to keep the rpm range...

I wrote a review on the L5740HST last year after putting just 17 hours on the machine and I haven't changed my mind now that the machine has 100 hours on it! Outstanding performance and maneuverability...very easy to use. Sbakf, Lostinthewoods, TripleR, TexasJohn, gave me great advice along...

Minnesota cold winters and hot summers, along with retirement, convinced me I needed to replace my tractor. I finally decided on a L5740 equipped: L5740-3 HSTC LA854 loader w/quick attach coupler & 72" bucket Rear wheel weights x 6 (3 per side) Rear remotes x 2 to go along with my existing...

I have looked around and seem to be able to only find this model with pictures of R4's? I wanted to see what it looked like with turf's - I am trying to decide between the 2 tires. Thanks

I got a wiring diagram off of here for my RTV1100 that was great. Does anyone have one in pdf format for the 5740. Need it to figure out the wiring for the stereo. Have to cut the factory plug off and connect it to my stereo. Thanks.

She just arrived last Friday. L5740. What a machine.

This video is of a L5740 140hrs. Cold start (20 degrees f.) This tractor never fails to start but I believe it should start and run smoother than it does cold. What do you think? YouTube - Kubota L5740 Cold start

Hi, After some debateing here and at home with Kubotas 0% / 5years I decided to go for it. I traded my L5030 loader and woods 9000 hoe with 1955 hrs on it on a new L5740 and loader. I really need the spliter in the tranny. I am done removing trees here so I should be good there. Set up skid...

I have just about 70 hours on the new machine. Delivery truck came with pallet of new bee supplies after the ice/snow storm and I wondered how I was going to get them back to the shop. I dug the doors open on the pole barn:laughing: then I tried out the new L5740 4wd in pretty deep snow with...

Very sadly, my dad lost his courageous battle with cancer recently. He fought hard, but what a terrible, terrible, relentless disease that he could not battle any longer. While dad was fighting and in the hospital, mom and dad purchased his dream machine, a brand new L5740 with all the...

I was spreading gravel today and the tractor was fine then an error code of 90 flashed on the display and the tractor wouldnt go forward, it will only go into reverse. I tried to remove the battery cable to clear the codes, but it syill wont work. anybody had this problem?? Any help will be...

I'm loving it. Thursday, I spread 40 yards crushed asphalt and concrete on a parking lot. Friday, I loaded and hauled 80 yards of caliche and filled holes in a truck yard. Today, I cleaned out about 10 inches of blow sand from between a couple of buildings and drug that guys parking lot and...

Im looking to buy a new tractor for the main purpose of moving logs onto a small firewood processor.Most of the logs are fairly small,but in the future i will be selling some larger timber and wonder if i will be able to move those larger hardwood logs with a kubota 5740.I plan on adding a front...

Amazing how big a difference in cooling that cleaning the radiator, screen filter makes in keeping the operating temperature in the normal range. This past weekend while brush hogging in 100+ degree heat, I needed to clean the screen filter 3 times. Each time the operating temperature had...

It arrived. What a day!! Pictures below. :thumbsup: I had to play hookey from work so I could immediately jump on for a day cutting the pasture. :laughing: After 7+ hours of brush hogging, I now understand the benefits of a cab, not that I would want one at this point in the journey ... I...

Torn between a bigger tractor with more strength and bigger engine M6040 vs the convenience of the hst on the 5740. I have 14 acres, organic garden produce and bees and always moving trees for firewood. I'm always moving bee equipment and everything else. I have rented smaller units (40hp)...

We intend to get one of these two tractors. We'd like to start shopping for our tractor. L5740 HSTC - with FEL and probably one or two other items; shredder, box blade, disc Tractor weight - 4233 (Tractor with cab - but dont know weight of attachments) M5040 HDC - with FEL and probably one or...

Wooohooo !!! made the leap, stopped looking, made a selection, bought the tractor. I really appreciate the fantastic help that everyone has offered and the chance to learn from all that has been posted on TBN. After extensive searching and wondering what to buy, we bought from a private seller...

Hi, I have just received my L5740, and love it to bits. The one thing I want to change is the cigar lighter is fused to the engine run bus. I want it on the accessory bus. IE First key position. Looks as though the fuse block/loom is all crimped without pull off terminals. Thus can't...

Gentlemen, I come from a row crop background and my family has been farming within 25 miles of my current location since 1635 on my father's side. We have yet to nail the exact year on my mothers side. In short we were involved in modest acreage(850 acres plus or minus) until 1990 when the...

We took delivery of our new L5740 several weeks ago, and have finally been able to put her to use. Due to rain & work, I had not had much of a chance to even sit in the seat. My wife was actually the first to "officially" use it, as she used the FEL to take a 55 gallon trash can to the dumpster...

Hi, I am going to be upgrading from a BX23 to a larger tractor with cab. I learned from Kubota that the new BH92 backhoe will fit only the -3 versions of the L-series cabbed tractors. I have the opportunity to buy a -2 L5740 HSTC at a good price, and would like to know what would be need to...

I am looking at a used 13' flail. Seller says it is approx. 20 years old, and the MFR is "Flail King". I can't find such a beast on the web to get specs. The exact weight of the mower is not known. I'll do a comparitive lookup after I post. (Seller things it is about a ton). In general, do you...

Mom and dad had their new L5740 delivered yesterday.....Very Nice machine! I only had 20 minutes or so to play with it, but it sure is nice. Mom and dad are gonna love that cab!! I had the AC on and stereo playing.....its as quiet and comfy as a car in there. L5740 w/Cab AC, Heat, CD Player...

Hello, I am considering these 2 tractors, I have a 2004 L4330 and have loved it. However I am looking at getting a cab due to the recent winter. I was pretty much sold on the Kubota from past exp. but my buddy is a JD guy and has been trying to sway my opinion. So I figured for the amount of...

I am doing the 50 hr. service on my Kubota L5740. The manual says to drain all the oil, then remove the filter. 50 hour service only requires replacing the filter and topping off the oil. Is draining the oil required to remove the filter... in other words if I take off the filter is all...

I recently got a L5740 and now have about 50 hours on it. The exhaust is turning the loader arms black. No surprise, as it is diesel, but I am disappointed that Kubota didn't make the turn down turn down more so it keeps things cleaner. Anyone else see this happening? Anyone else have a...

I just got a L5740 and have put about 30 hours on it. I have one complaint and want to know if I am the only one and what fixes folks have done. Every time I get in a bind where I really need to pull hard and step on the differential lock and then step on the go pedal I get too light on the...

We loaded up the last of our hay to head off to central Texas and I must say I was pleasantly surprised with the "little Kubota". The previous bales had been loaded by the buyers larger JD, but it wasn't available when the semi came back for the last load. I had my doubts we'd be able to get...

Guys, Need to hear your experiences. I currently have a L5030 HSTC FEL that has 450 hr.'s and am thinking about trading up for more horsepower and the new 40 series cab. My previous tractors have been hydrostatic (L4310 HSTC and an older B series years ago). I do have many years around the...

Ok, I am new to the site and looking at purchasing my first tractor like so many others on here. I searched for a comparison of these two machines without success. I am experienced as a heavy equipment operator as well as a field lube/greaser/oiler/serviceman (whichever one sounds familiar to...

Hi all. I have an L5740 Kubota with QA on the loader. I have been looking at the stump busters built by Markham Welding, DirtWorks, and High Rock Skid Steer Attachments. Markham Welding - Grubber/Stump Bucket Skid Steer Stump Bucket Attachment w/teeth - eBay (item 120359074261 end time...

Traded my B7800 for a used L5740 with 204 hrs on the meter :D. I am feeding Haylage to my livestock now - the B7800 was not quite enough tractor to handle them. Got the L5740 with 204 hrs for same price as new L4240. Put hay spear on the front QA and was able to pickup the 1200lb round...

I would appreciate two pieces of information from current 5740 HSTC owners. 1) What is the minimum clearance between R4 rear tires and the frame/fenders, i.e. how much room is there for tire chains? 2) What is the maximum height of the cab with the R4 tires? Thanks in advance for your help...

warning, not so great with mecanical terms. I do snowblowing with inverted snowblower pull behind on L5740 Kubota tractor and the arm on right side keeps falling off dropping my blower. This is second year with tractor. Any body else have this problem and why. My mechanic says arms sloppy so...

L5740 -- Can you attach the FEL without taking the front mount snow blower subframe off ? The sb and subframe have not arrived yet so I have nothing to look at. Dealer could not answer question. During the winter it would be nice to use the loader without taking the subframe on & off each...

When I lift up out of the seat of my L5740 to turn and look behind this activates the seat kill switch and the tractor shuts off. Is there a way to temporarily disable this feature. I tried taping down the button and that didn't work. Must need something else done. Thanks.

Took a while but it finally arrived. Front mount snow blower will take a few more weeks to get here.

I just ordered a Carter and Carter Machinery hydraulic toplink to use on my L5740. When I tried to install it, it seems that that end of the CCM cylinder is too wide to fit on the rear of my tractor. I had a Cat I toplink on my L3130 and had no problems with it fitting, so I am curious if I am...

seriously interested in this unit...anyone happy or unhappy with anything that will help me decide? yes or no?:confused::confused::confused: newbie....my searches have turned up very little on this tractor. thanks

In the process of finishing up the specs for a new L5740. I have decided to have two rear hydraulic outlets. Here are the part #s and list$ the dealer gave me: rear remote base kit & lever (L8346 & L8349) for $494, 2nd rear remote (L8347) for $270, and two double acting rear remote...

Thanks to some help from Hayden, I have decided to order my new L5740 with the 3rd function hydraulics. This kit comes with a new loader control lever with a button to control a 3rd hydraulic line that will be used to operate the chute deflector on the front mount snow blower. But...the...

I have occasional need of a BH for my L5740, which will pay for itself the first year. I'm leaning toward three point rather than sub frame as it is pretty easy stuff and I'd like to be able to easily remove it since I bush hog a lot. Anyone have any brand/model suggestions (preferably with a...

Hello, This is my first post on TBN, although I have been lurking for sometime. I'm not happy with the way my Woods BH90x has been plumbed in. Here's what I have; Kubota L5740 with 3 rear remotes, LA854 front loader with auxillary third function remote, all from Kubota and all dealer...

Does anyone have this setup? I have an L5740 cab and have had on order a Woods BH90x. The BH came in, but the dealer now tells me that Woods doesn't make a hose kit that is compatible with an L5740 that has rear remotes installed. So, my choice is to either have the rear remotes removed, if...

Well, after several weeks of researching, posting threads and discussing in PMs, I ordered and received my tractor and most of the attachments. Still waiting on the backhoe and flail mower, but here are pics of what I've got so far. My first project is to prepare my gardens by moving around 69...

I just had my new L5740 delivered on Friday and noticed what may be a small issue. I just wanted to run it by everyone to make sure there isn't some oddity that I need to be aware of before calling the dealer asking to fix the problem. I was playing around with the lights, hazards, and turn...

I'm getting ready to purchase an L5740 this weekend and would like to get the following attachments: Box Blade Rotary Cutter (BrushBull) Finishing Mower Rotary Tiller This is my first purchase so I have a few novice questions that I was hoping to get input on. First question is how do I...

Hi, I am ready to purchase a Kubota L5740 Grand with the Grand Cab, does anyone have a recommendation for a heavy duty backhoe that will fit this machine without any problems? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks ;)

The weather finally cooperated so I got the chance to look at both tractors today. Both are nice tractors with their own pros and cons. After looking at the L5740, I had a couple of questions of how it runs. When I was at the John Deere place, they told me that the 4720 had an intake air...

Does anyone know the rear tire width of the 5470 with R1 Ag tires set to maximum width? Dealer is telling me 68", but others have told me that's the min width, and spec sheet calls out 67.3" as min tread width. I'm looking to size a snow blower greater than the max width. Thanks.

I am looking at a new GL5740 (No Cab), R4 tires, with a Kubota LA854 FEL, a 4 in 1 Bucket for the FEL, with a 3rd function Hydrolic, a Bush Hog BH850 backhoe with a sub-frame mount, and 3 rear remote Hydrolic valves for future TNT functions. Price is $39,300. This seemed like a good price, but...

I am getting ready to do the 50 hour service on my L5740. The owners manual calls for replacing the transmission (HST) filter and hydraulic filter. The manual does not call for changing the transmission oil until 400 hours. The directions for filter changing are combined with the directions for...

Has anyone put a Bradco hoe on one of the new Grand L40 cab tractors? I'm particularly interested in a 511 hoe on an L5740. My dealer says it can be done. Thanks, Peter

I am trading in my B7800 for a L5740. I currently have a 5 foot Bushog Razorback cutter and wanted to get a larger rotary cutter. I will be mowing 30-40 acres of pasture - not doing any heavy cutting of brush or small trees. Does anyone who has a L5240 or 5740 can tell me the maximum size...

I haven't been to the forum lately but am looking at new tractor models that I am not very familiar with and would appreciate the advice of owners and shoppers. I have been looking a several models including the Kubota K5740 and the MF 1560. The Kubota has lots of bells and whistles that I do...

Any prices floating around on the L5740. I got two quickie prices, one at 35k, the other at 40k - same set up with cab. And dealers selling Kubota's at a great price. Last one I bought was at Wilson Kubota, in South Carolina ( I'm in Ca.) but they seem to be long gone.

Well, I went back to the dealership that had the L5740 in stock today. They are some of the nicest people. The salesman let me drive a M9540 and M125X. :D :D :D The sales guy that I am working with said don't wory about the quoted price he gave me, only worry about the bottom dollar to trade...

Well, the wife and I decided to drive down to a dealership that is not in the area close to us because they had a L5740 in stock:D :eek:. We drove 70 miles to a very nice dealership. They had more orange Kubotas on the lot than I have seen anywhere. They even had the Granddady M125X on the lot...

I thought it was about time I posted as I have been lurking here since 2004. I currently have a New Holland TC45DA with 17LA loader. This past summer was about all I could stand without a cab. I'm tired of being swarmed by angry hornets, wasps, and other biting insects. The wife after last...
