kubota m4900

Anyone know what's suppose to be in this hole? Its a small hole in the transmission housing under the floorboard that spits hydraulic oil on my boots. Am I missing a dipstick or is there suppose to be a breather tube? I looked all through the parts manuals and can't find anything. My local...

My M490 three point is not working. I added fluid and it worked briefly. It is not working now. I do notice that the linkage rod is broken (not sure of linkage name). It’s my understanding that the rod is an over power safety linkage and not needed for normal usage. Am I wrong and do I need to...

I just missed buying a great M4900 in my area just now, but there's another one in the area that has a cab for a similar price, just 2k hrs vs 1k hrs. I really don't want a cab because I'll be doing a lot of work around trees. How hard is it to convert a cab setup to a rops? TIA

I'm in need of an upgrade from my old Ferguson to35, and am looking at a M4900 4wd, 1100 hrs, that's pretty close by and seems to be a reasonable price. I've been burned twice buying used tractors, and want some advice for what to look out for when I go to check out this (or really any similar...

I was turning compost yesterday when my tractor started overheating. I've had it get hot before when the radiator screen got clogged with compost, so I try to be good about watching it, but it snuck up on me. I looked down and the needle was right on the edge of (maybe in) the red. I turned it...

Hello to All, My brother has a 2000 M4900 w about 1050 hrs. When he started it 3 days ago, he said there was a loud "breaking noise" and he immediately turned it off. The dealer came out to pick it up and the driver [that works on engines] said "a possible valve spring or injector cap..." He...

So a very good friend of mine got a divorce and him and his wife didn't want the tractor so I ended up with it for free. It's got a Bradford backhoe and a set of forks for the front loader. I asked about this when it was still his but now I'm trying to get everything working. Tractor has...

The shifter that puts my tractor into forward and reverse has been getting more difficult to move, and I'm afraid it will snap with the pressure I need to put on it in order to shift. Is there a way I can fix this issue? I don't know much about tractors, but I can do my best to answer...

So im trying to get details on a tractor im looking at in the AM. Husband passed away and his wife is selling it. Its a 2001 Kubota M4900. Open station, 4 wd, loader. My research on tractor blue book shows numerous sub models. Just trying to understand. M4900sc M4900Scsf M4900Scd...

Hi guys, I have a M4900 with a bradco 509 backhoe and here lately I can only get a couple scoops of dirt and the pto lever on the right side keeps kicking off. The tractor only has 300 hours on it and maintenance has always been done. The stabilizers seem to be moving slower than normal and...

Hi. I have a kubota M4900 with rops. The listed loader for this unit is the LA1002 ... (only)... The M6800 lists the LA1002 and the LA1162 as options.... So my question is, Can I use the LA1162 and mounts from an M6800 on my M4900? If so, do I need special adaptors, etc? If not why not? (I noted...

where is the light fuse for am4900 kabota .

If you had to choose, which one would you pick? And why?

I can't raise the three point on my M4900 Kubota. The lever is difficult to move and the three point barely moves the bush hog up and down. I added fluid but no help. Could it be a clogged filter problem?

anybody know if theirs a lot to installing a creep gear in a m 4900 utility

I recently changed the hydraulic fluid and filters on my M4900 (@300 hours). All went fine, except that trying to pour all the new fluid from five gallon containers back into the smallish fill port was a pain. I just took my time--which seemed like quite a long time--didn't spill much. But...

Recently purchased 2002 m4900 tractor ran great first few hours just using it around the farm to haul a trailer to and from with no load on the tractor at all. Had the opportunity to get some bushogging done ran great the first 20-30 min then started to get in some higher brass and ramped up...

I'm trying to find an approximate value for a Kubota M4900 with a LA1002 4in1 loader and cab with approximate 380 hours in good condition. Any ideas??

I'm in the market for a ~50 hp utility tractor to maintain roads, firebreaks, and food plots on a timber tract. I originally was heading towards Deere 5055E, then figured out MX5100 would probably do just fine for less $ (looking at new in both cases). Now I've run across an M4900 4wd with FEL...

Hey guys, I'm looking at a used kubota that a guy is trying to sell because he has to move quickly out of state. It is a early 2000's Kubota M4900, FEL, 2wd, geared transmission. it has 691 hours and is in decent shape for its age and use. It has one leaky hose on the loader but other than that...

I have an very heavy airefication machine on my M4900. It has been operating fine for years, but now it will only pick the implement up a few inches. The lift does not seem to be straining, mor like the draft is improperly set or possibly no working. Any thoughts?

Will a loader off a M6800 fit a M4900? both tractors are open station. Don't know the exact model of the loader other than LA1002

Had a leak in one of the 3 hoses connecting to my LA1002 FEL, so I replaced all three with new hoses. Now the bucket raises, lowers, and tilts down, but will not tilt up. Also the 3 point hitch will not raise. It was working perfectly before the replacement. Thought I reversed the position...

I have an M4900 with cab and has 850 hours. I only use it to cut grass (60inch bushhog finish cutter). im loking to down size but am not sure what to ask for this tractor and attachments I have. As of 2 weeks ago it has new engine and hyd oil and filters, new fuel filter and air filters. the...

I have a 2007 Kubota M4900 with about 700 hours on it. (bought used) We changed hydraulic fluid and filters (with Kubota brand oil and elements) when we first experienced stiff steering and slow hydraulic response (after about 3 hours of running). We left the tractor in the field overnight and...

I have an M4900 with 380 hours, and changed the two hydraulic filters today. The manual does not call for a change of fluid so I just pulled the filters and replaced them with Kubota filters, and lost about 4 gallons of UDT in the process. I replaced the UDT, checked the level and started and...

Do I need to put any type of sealer between seal inner steel ring and pto shaft? I installed new seal and now oil leaks between pto shaft & ring(looks similar to a seal saver) that came in the seal. Thanks,Jim

This is me disking the garden with our M4900 and the nieghbors disk. It's from a while ago, and kinda poor quality. But any questions, feel free to ask. Just wanted to post it. Enjoy :thumbsup: Kubota M4900 Disking - YouTube Kye

Recently purchased Kubota M 4900 with little over 600 hours on it has a problem with the 3 point hitch cycling up and down. with tractor running lift arms cycle up and down some especially if you use remote hydraulics such as picking up a wheeled disc. If you shut off tractor arms leak down...

Hi all, These past few years, we have been plowing and disking some before rototilling, mainly for the fun/history of our land. We have used our neighbors disk for most of this. I believe it's a 6'-6.5' because on our M4900 it extends to about the center of each tire in the rear. We have a 4wd...

I am looking at a 01 or 02 2wd w a 1002 fel. Hour meter does not work but in great condition and guy says can't have over 200-300 hrs. I also have a friend who verifies the low hours. Don't think he has changed fluids in a year or so.. It has dual remotes on the back and also the shuttle but I...

Im looking at buying my first Kubota. I have a 14' woods batwing shredder. Will a 2004 M4900 4x4 do a good job at powering this shredder?

which is better ,thinking about trading in my m4900 for the newer style m5140 . am I going backwoods from a 5 cylinder to a 4 cylinder ,is the m4900 better built?I like to get a hydraulic shuttle and a 3rd remote but thats not worth it if the new 5140 is less machine.

Hello, have 2004 M4900 4X4 with loader & ultra cab, manual trans, with shuttle. The 4 speed shifter is very hard to operate from 1st & 2nd side to 3rd & 4th side because cable going to lever on top of trans is very hard to move, had to take off floorboard an pry lever to get trans into 3rd &...

looking for a loader that fits a model m4900 thanks

I have a M4900 cab tractor with syncro-shuttle that I put in reverse and now it won't come out of rev. If the 2 speed selector and the 4 speed selector are both in neutral and I put shuttle in fwd it loads engine. It will back up in all gears. I checked shuttle shift linkage and it all appears...

Hello All I would greatly appreciate some advice of the value of a used M4900 kubota. It has approximately 1600 hours on it and come with the full cab, heat and air, and new tires. It has a front end loader but no other attachments, and the asking price is 25k. I current use a L3400 now and...

I have been preparing the food plots with a 6.5' disc harrow that weighs about 900# for many years now. We do about 20 acres or so a year. Ground is in South Mississippi. The tractor is 2WD and the fields are flat. What width lift disc could I get away with? I don't need anything offset...

I am not at my farm and my tractor will not start. I had a walmart n1 battery in it but they no longer make it. So what size battery do i need. Such as cold cranking amps

Does the m4900 diesel have glow plugs. Also I do not see any indicator that it does.

ERADIC LIFT, HANDLE HAS TO BE IN TOP POSITION, NO CONTROL

M-4900, MY PTO WILL NOT LIFT UNTIL THE HANDLE IS ALL THE WAY UP,AT THAT POINT , IT AFFECTS THE FRONT CONTROLS, PTO DOES NOT RESPOND..

I have 340 hrs on it and the FEL appears to be operating slower than usual. The only thing that I have done differently is to add a box blade that I pretty much keep it mounted on the tractor. Could hoisting the box blade be taking hydraulic pressure from the FEL, thus slowing it down...

Does anyone have a manual they could share showing the hydraulic hose routing for a LA1002? While disconnecting my shredder yesterday to hook up a PHD, I noticed a lot of hydraulic fluid coming out from the sleeve that contains the hyraulic lines from the belly and rear of the tractor that...

I've replaced the battery two times in the last year. Found I had a bad alternator and replaced it at the time of the second battery. Now I find the battery is low again!!!??? Voltage reads at 11.98. Any ideas where I might be having a electrical bleed?

I have a M4900 with 300 hrs. Replaced the battery about 6 months ago and now find myself having to replace it again after 6 more months. Before the 2nd battery died, I noticed the alternator light was turning on and off. I put a new battery in and started it and the alternator light would not...

Hi Guys, Need some help figuring out my problem. Something not working in my starting circuit. Solenoid will not engage with the key. I have changed both start relay and key switch with no luck. I have jumped the neutral switch and disconnected the PTO switch and still nothing. I start my...

Would anyone in the Delevan, NY (south of Buffalo) area be interested in looking at a Kubota M4900 for me? I can pay you for your time/expenses. I just need someone to grab the keys and run it and give an overall inspection of its' condition. Anyone interested?? Thanks! :)

The equipment brochure for the M4900/M5700 line from Kubota says "Hydraulic shuttle (M5700 only)". I gather this means that the 5700 needs no clutching when going from forward to reverse and that the 4900 does require that the clutch be depressed. Other than the 5700 being faster to shift when...

Test driving an M4900 today and everything was awesome about the tractor...low hours, good tires, well tended to, you could tell. But then I ran her up to 540 speed which I think was around 2400 or so. Every time I took my hand off the throttle, the RPM's would drop to between 1800-2000. I...

Figured I would come to the experts for this question...I have found a one owner, 2000 model, M4900, 4x4, FEL, 517 hours, canopy for $17.5. Good price? I have also found a 2000 M5700, 652 hours, 4x4, FEL, but it has industrial tires on it instead of ag tires. They are also asking $17.5. The...

Anyone had a rear remote installed on a Cab tractor. I am thinking of adding one. Quote: $750.00 (650 parts, 100 labor)

It's time for the 50 hour service in my M4900 2WD gear drive. I went to NAPA today and bought 2 gallons of Shell Rotella 10W-30. Hopefully no problems there. NAPA had one tranny/hydro fluid that was Kubota UDT rated BUT only in $10/gallon containers. They did have another one which was rated...

I am heading up to the deer camp this weekend to do some tractor maintenace. My manual is up there and I need to know what the capacities and specs for the hydraulics/transmission and engine oil are. I already have the the hydraulic and oil filters and will be stopping by NAPA on the way out to...

Anyone know the engine foot pounds on the 54 HP version of the M4900?

My new tractor was delivered without a hitch. I was a little worried about buying from a distance but it all went like clockwork and I saved in excess of $5000.00. I have only 4 hrs on it but it is great. The 5 cyl. just purrs, the transmission is very smooth and I love the hyd. independent pto...

I was told on my M4900 by a family member that ideally you should decrease RPMs when going from forward to reverse or vice versa because it was hard on the clutch and it would wear it out. This is mainly with PTO speeds above 2000 rpms. Any truth to this? I can't imagine resetting the hand...

First of let me say I know WHAT draft control does. Question is how do I set it for the M4900 for a 6 foot medium duty shredder and a 6.5 foot disc harrow? Draft control has a "sensitive," "insensitive" and "float position." Position control has "up," "down," and "float." So... what do I do...

Anyone know what might be a fair price on a M4900 Cab tractor with 4WD...no loader...large standard turf tires...no galaxy's Also anyone have a picture of any M series cab or not with turfs and know the size and brand. Thanks SD-Dave

Greetings! I'm brand new to the site and was hoping that some of you could steer me in the right direction. I currently take care of 64 acres of land that consists of hardwood forest, fallow fields (with about 10 billion chinese tallow triees, aka. chicken trees), and some of which can get...

Ok my ORANGE brothers I have read a couple of post in the Gereral Forums abut the M4900, M5700, and M6800 being phased out and replaced with 5040, 6040, and 7040 . Anyone heard anything? What about the Grand L's any additions/changes?

A friend's M4900 front wheel drive stopped working suddenly, and after checking we discovered big problems in the front drive case attached to the bottom of the transmission. A ball bearing and roller bearing failed, ruining a shaft and gear as well as the case itself. The machine is 4 yrs old...

A friend has an M4900 with the front wheel drive not working. No noises or warning, it just stopped working. So far she has only checked to see that the engaging mechanism at the engine end of the drive shaft functions. Has anyone else had this problem? Also, what is involved in checking the...

I think I've narrowed my choices down to one of these two tractors (although JD 5105 is still an outside possibility). Will be equipped with FEL. I am looking for advice from any of you who have experience with either of these models. Has anyone used these to bale hay (small squares - JD 14T...

question is how do you use the float position on the loader ,it is a la1002 , I think you have to hold the lever foward and not let go ,my old ford I held the lever for a moment in that position then let go and it was in float, but the kubota seems different . am I right thanks

this is the first time i have tried to brush hog with my M4900, and surely i am doing something wrong or there is a valve i need to shut or something?? in light to medium stuff, the pto slows way way down and will even stop, but the motor never notices???? heehaw

I'm looking for a MSRP on a M4900 2wd with cab, LA1002 FEL, and Woods 8400 bushhog. Are there any price guides out there for tractors? You can find tons of them for automobiles but where are the tractor guides? Is there such thing as dealer invoice pricing? Do tractor dealers get...

I just got a new M4900 and so far I am thrilled. The tractor has everything I ever wanted. I will try and get some pictures to post on here. I do have a couple things that I think could be improved. There should be a BIG RED light that comes on the dash when the parking brake is engaged. The 3pt...

Where (or is there) a pull-back spring on the M4900 throttle linkage? My M4900 has both the lever and the pedal on the floor-board. Lately, it won't idle back lower that about 1500 RPM. You can reach over and pull up on the foot pedal and it will idle down. I figured that the idle spring...

Hi: I posted a similar message but no replies. I changed the heading. I am trying to get a comparison from owners who may own either, as to the performance, satisfaction, type of usage, etc. I need to decide which will best fit my needs. Thanks, LaLa

Pat\'s Easy Change System on M4900 Put the Easy Change on my M4900 this week-end. Only problem I had was the pin going thru the Ball. As I have Cat II arms, I could not get the spacer to line up with the pin. The "instructions" said "Drive the roll pin through the spacer". This was...

Can anyone help me decide between a M4900/5700 and a L5030? What should the price difference be? I'm getting a FEL and 6 ft HD shredder, 7 ft disk, & boxblade.

I posted a couple years ago about adding a 2-speed pto to my L5450, so it has selectable 540 and 750 rpm speeds. At the time I didn't know if this modification might be possible on other models too - but it may be. I was looking at Kubota's Australia website today, where they describe the...

Hi all, i'm new to the forums but have had the tractor a couple of years. This weekend, we finally broke down and bought a 6' bush hog from TSC. It is relatively light weight but I think it should be fine for our use, if i can get this problem figured out. Anyways, we got everythign hooked up...

After traveling many miles and looking at and pricing many tractors I gave in to the temptation and bought a new M4900 with fel and backhoe. I find this website to be very informative and have read almost all the post's over the last few months. The deciding factor in purchasing the tractor...

Hey, thanks to all of you that replied to my posting yesterday. I have a 65 acre place in S Texas and run a small cow calf herd and a few fish. I could not attach a picture, but it looks like a Kubota.It is an M4900 DT (2001) 4WH dr, loader with 287 3 pt 7' bush hog shreadder. For future use...

Can anyone explain how the MX5000 differs from the rest of the M series line? I have been unable to find stats for this new tractor. My local dealer does not have a brochure. Basically it looks less ag that the rest of the Ms, but if the transmission options are the same (i.e. no hydrostat)...

I bought a Massey Ferguson 231S in July of 2000. It is a mid 40's HP very basic utility tractor. It has been dependable and does everything I need it to do. I DO NOT LIKE THIS TRACTOR! IT IS LOUD! IT IS UNCOMFORTABLE! IT IS NOT USER FRIENDLY! I wanted a Kubota when I bought it but didn't...

Any thoughts or regrets?? Interested in a M4900 4wd with loader. Need for small farm, haying and misc. work. Will the M4900 handle a bailer with kicker plus wagon ok???

On the Kubota website I found a comparable tractor to the MF that I'm looking at. It's the M4900. Does anyone know the price or a good website to find the street price for this model? thanks Jason

I'm in the market for a new tractor. Currently have a MF 240 rated at 45PTO. My tractor has the old fashioned gear shift (no shuttle shift) or I'd put a loader on it. Also the MF MFD turning radius is too big which leads me to Kubota. This is where I get confused with the "L" series and the...

My Dad is interested in buying a M4900. What can you tell me about it. He will be using it on 83 Acres (probably only about 30-40 acres without trees). He will use it for different jobs but mainly for bush hogging. He said that it is probably more tractor than he needs, but he would rather...
