:welcome:
To the Forum from Northwest Alabama. I have a L3200DT I got new in March of 2014. Great machine but only has 89 hours thus far.

I have L2800 done everything I ask and than some.
I have heard some L2800 and L3200 fuel gauge don't read exact amount showing,off 1/4 or better on low side.

I have 2003 L2600DT with 229 hours. Bush Hog FEL. Love my tractor! I wish motor entry was different from side panels, but great machine.

There have been threads on this involving most all Kubotas. If yours is like that, the gauge stays on full a long time, then precipitously drops until about 1/4 and then slows after that. All mine are like that so I just take it in stride. Actually it's taken a few years but I think I prefer it that way.

That's exactly how the gauge acts Sixdogs.

Very happy with my L3800 and bh77 backhoe purchased in 2011. No serious problems at all to date. I have the beet Juice in the rear tires which is very needed. A full bucket of damp soil/gravel will not lift the rear end but will take enough weight off the tires to cause slippage. I call this a danger zone as you feel stable and all four tires are on the ground :cloud9: but you are real close to being unstable. :ashamed:
Front tire pressure was a costly mistake. I think the manual says 22 lbs. I am still working on best psi so I don't have a good recommendation yet, but with 22 lbs. and a full FEL the tire bead on right front kept failing. :thumbdown: That might be a good thread "what front tire pressure do you use for FEL work". :anyone:

One thing with the backhoe. It is getting easier with practice. :thumbsup: The first few times can seem like a challenge.

ive got a new L3301 and with only 10 hrs on it I totally live it

For air pressure in a tractor with a front loader you need way more pressure than 22 up font. My L doesn't have a loader but if it did would think about 30 and more. I run 30 in my Deere TLB 790 and 40 in a much bigger tractor.

L4330 here. It's 10 years old and always starts for me.

Our L3240 is the perfect size for our situation. Cuts the field, tills the garden, moves pallets of firewood from blocking & splitting area to house, skids logs, chips the limbs that don't get fed to the stove, builds & maintains woods road & driveway, clears snow and handles a 9' hoe. I still can't believe how little fuel it uses after a hard days work. Love that machine. Bought in 2007 and already paid for itself in chiropractor avoidance.
