L Series owners

[richriddle]

I have a Kubota L4330 and it's a workhorse.

That's exactly how the gauge acts Sixdogs.
"I just take it in stride. Actually it's taken a few years but I think I prefer it that way. "...same here.

Yes, I know this is a 7 year old thread but I recently bought a new mower with a Kubota Diesel engine--and fuel tank with gauge. Even though I knew better, I forgot and had the fuel gauge replaced because I mowed for hours and the gauge never dropped.

With the new gauge, same thing until I hit that sweet spot when the gauge dropped like a rock to 1/4 and then stayed there. This fuel gauge thing must some engineer's attempt to cause a little chuckle in the department when owners try to figure out the fuel level.

Seems most people here own a BX series Kubota.
Any L series owners here? I'm a first time tractor owner with a nearly new(13 hours when I bought it)L3200. Any advice or suggestions?

lots of replies of members owning L's. you have not described your land or use of the L tractor. then owners can be more specific in their recommendation. enjoy the new machine & welcome to forum

L5030 a 2005 "vintage" 1100 hours runs like a champ use it for snow removal, grass cutting, brush hogging, and maintaining 1/4 mile long driveway.

Wouldn't trade it for a new one with that EGR / DPF / DEF garbage + $10,000. lol!!!

Higly recommend making sure your pressure is up to the factory Specs... mine was wayyyy low from the dealer. A company called JailbreakYourTractor.com sells a complete kit..worth every penny...

Dealer told me it's standard procedure to set the hyd. pressure 10% low on new tractors. They claim it saves wear & tear on parts and is a safety issue, especially for new or inexperienced owners. Easy enough to adjust, at least on my Kubota tractors anyway. Not sure why you would need a kit.

Be aware that boosting pressure beyond factory specs can also cause front wheel bearing & seal issues when lifting heavy loads with the FEL.

I have a 20 year old L5030 with the original battery! They don't make them like they used to.

I traded my 2008 JD 3005 in on a new L3302(gear transmission)last June. Love the FWA and the loader.

You can do that without cranking up the pressures. my 4060 is like most other cuts & required new front wheel bearings before 1,000 hours. Proper ballast & not pushing the loader helps with longevity. Even a 7 year old can point out which is the stronger axle on a tractor.
