- Kubota 4330 with cab
Hi folks:
I live in The Town of Montague the second smallest town in NY state. The area is called the Tug Hill Plateau. We get lake effect snow off the eastern end of Lake Ontario. So using my tractor for snow removal is essential. When the air temp is well below freezing the joystick in my Kubota 4340 becomes rather difficult to move. For a while, it would raise and lower without a problem, while the tilt and dump function were sluggish. Now it has reversed and the tilt and dump function work well after warming up, but raising and lowering the bucket are the problem. It seems that I have to find the exact position for the bucket to come up, and it is so slow that it is like watching paint dry lol. The dipstick shows that I have enough oil in the tractor, and I am afraid to overfill. Can anyone offer any advise. Thank you in advance Neil G.
