I have a B2150 with a LA350 loader.Last week my step son hit a tree and badly bent my loader.I am haveing
a hard time with my kubota dealer. They said they could not get one for me.Who made the loaders for kubota .
If any one has a idea please let me know.

I'd look at plugged injector nozzles first and then injector pump pressure. How many hours on this tractor?

Is it possible to swap out the engine in an L 3450 for an bigger one say one out of an L 4200?

This is a great overview that I borrowed from the TractorSmart.com web site

Tractor Three Point Lift Types

Let's start by defining what a three point hitch is. Tractor three point hitches consist of; Tada! three major components. They are: the left and right lower lift arms (those long things with the balls in the end, that are sticking out the back of the tractor), and the top link; usually a three piece adjustable apparatus with a central body and two threaded ends with balls, one of which attaches to the tractor, and the other which attaches to the implement. The overall length of the top link is adjustable via the threaded ends. The sole purpose of the three point hitch is to place, and hold, the mounted implement in the desired position to accomplish the job at hand. As you may have guessed, there are many different types of systems available to get this done. Some are quite simple, while others are extremely complex. In the simplest form, a hydraulic pump supplies oil to a control valve. The position of the control valve determines where the oil goes next. If the control valve is in neutral, the oil is simply directed back into the reservoir (transmission housing). If raise is selected, the oil from the pump is directed, by the control valve, into the lift cylinder, causing the lift arms to rise. If lower is selected, the oil from the pump is directed, by the control valve, to the reservoir (just like neutral); however, a passage is also opened which will allow oil to escape from the lift cylinder, allowing gravity to lower the lift arms. Many of the smaller compact tractors are, in fact, just that simple in lift control. They use what might be termed...

Non position control. This type of lift is simple to build, easy to troubleshoot/repair, and potentially very aggravating to use, depending on the implement. Let's assume you are using a rear grooming mower that is supported, while in mowing position, by four caster wheels (one at each corner of the deck). No sweat. Just shove the lift lever to the down position, and the casters take care of it from there. Now, suppose you want to put your box scraper on and put a nice finish grade on a yard. In order to do a good job, it is important to have finite control of the height of the box scraper. The problem is, you must manually return the control valve to neutral at the very instant the box scraper arrives at the correct height. What usually happens is that the box has already gone past where you want it to be before you can yank the control valve into neutral. Well dang, I don't want to go through that. Enter….

Position control. This nifty lift type has some extra parts called feed back linkage. This linkage can be either internal or external, yet it's purpose remains the same. Feed back linkage serves to return the control valve (automatically) to the neutral state as soon as the lift arms reach the point selected by the relative position of the lift control lever. Whereas the non position control type only has three positions (raise, lower or neutral), the position control type allows an infinite number of lift arm positions, from all the way down, to all the way up. If you regularly perform tasks that require precision, repeatable lift arm height control, definitely get the position control type of lift. Now, take a deep breath and get ready for….

Draft control. Draft control, while not essential, makes life a little easier when plowing, sub-soiling, or using other ground engaging implements. For illustration purposes, let's assume we want to go plow up the back forty. We've mounted our plow to the three point hitch and adjusted things so that the plow will run straight and track properly behind the tractor. A note about plowing- if you have adjusted the plow properly, you should not have to use the stabilizer system to keep it running true behind the tractor. As you let the lift arms down, and begin to move forward though the field, the plow will start to enter the ground. As the plow continues down, traction and horsepower requirements increase. The natural tendency is for the plow to continue down until the tractor either loses traction, runs out of power, or the lift arms reach their lower limit. It is very unlikely that the latter will happen. We want to be able to plow at a reasonable depth without straining the engine or having excessive tire slippage. We also do not want to have to continually fiddle with the lift controls, raising and lowering the plow by small amounts, as ground conditions vary throughout the field. That's where draft control really helps. Draft control senses the amount of strain that the tractor is being subjected to from the plow. If the strain exceeds a predetermined level, the draft control will automatically raise the plow just enough to restore normal loading of the tractor. After you get past the hard spot in the field, the draft control automatically returns the plow to the pre-selected, ideal depth. There are two main types of draft sensing in wide use today. They are: lower link draft sensing, and top link draft sensing. Both achieve the same end result, and much discussion could be made over which is the best method. Generally you will find lower link sensing on larger, higher horsepower tractors. In the case of lower link sensing, the front of the lift arms are attached to a common bar that flexes with variable loading to impart movement to linkage that is ultimately connected to the control valve. There are also tractors on the market that incorporate an electronic lift control system. With these, the lower draft bar contains a strain sensor which sends a signal to an onboard computer. Movement of these electronic bars is almost undetectable to the eye. For tractors that utilize top link draft sensing, there are several methods in use to transmit draft load information to the control valve. For a large portion of North American style tractors, there is a rather large (usually internal) coil spring, which is compressed (by the top link) as draft load increases, and relaxed as the load diminishes. This compression/relaxation causes movement in the draft control linkage, thus changing the position on the control valve, raising and lowering the lift arms as needed. Other tractors (namely European style) have a massive leaf type spring between the top link and the lift cover. Still others use a torsion bar that is actually twisted as the top link moves toward and away from the tractor. Now, with all of this draft action going on, we've got to slow the lift system down some, or we'll end up with a rapid, out of control oscillation of the lift arms going up and down. This is accomplished with something called….

Response control. Response control (in most systems we know of) simply serves to control the rate at which hydraulic oil is allowed to escape from the lift cylinder. By slowing this rate, we minimize undesirable oscillations that would otherwise occur. Response control has no effect on rate of lift, and that is good, because we want the plow to raise quickly when we hit a hard spot. However, if we let the plow go back into the ground at an uncontrolled speed, we will end up pulling a plow that jumps into and out of the ground. We have to give the system a little time to settle down somewhere in the raise/lower cycle, and that is the function of the response control.

To get the maximum benefit from draft control, you must use it the way the manufacturer intended for it to be used. Do you need draft control? On the smaller tractors, probably not, as these tractors are rarely used to do much plowing. On larger tractors, it is pretty much standard equipment anyway, so the choice is made for you.

Regardless of what tractor you now own, or may be considering as a future purchase, take a little time to completely familiarize yourself with it's operating characteristics. You'll enjoy it much more!

Dear Jim, this is really reaching but may be worth a try. Both reduce surface friction and are excellent for machinery of all kinds. At work we coat various metal rotational parts (helicopter rotor heads) with these products to keep them free of dirt while static and/or in flight.

Assembly Lubricant:
"Perma-Slik" resin bonded coating containing molybdenum disulfide and graphite. Mfg by E/M Lubricants, Inc., PO Box 2200, West Lafayette, Indiana 47906
This must be sprayed onto a painted or smooth bare metal surface free of dirt, you spray it on in thin coats and it dries in half an hour. It can't be used to clean prior to coating. It goes on black and dries grey.

Asembly/Protectant Lubricant
"Break-Free CLP" spray on, cures in two hours, Mfg by San Bar Corporation, Santa Monica, CA 92705-4396
You can use this to clean the dirty surface and then recoat for lubrication. Wipe the surface smooth, no heavy coat needed. It goes on milky and dries clear.

Both of these products have proven effective in protecting aircraft parts from bugs, dirt, bird guts, etc. The crap just wipes off with a dampened rag. How well will they work with grass? I don't know, maybe someone would like to try them. They both work better than WD40 on snow thrower augers and snow plow blades.

I have installed the $70.00 rear (B) port extension on my B2410. I had the local NAPA store make up the hoses to extend out to the rear cross brace. I have the hoses terminated with a T and blocking plugs while I am locating a two spool control valve and a hydraulic top link and right lift link. Yea I know it is over kill but I like push button stuff. I also want to quick couple a hydraulic pole saw at the T before the control valve.
Help with sources and design ideas are appreciated.

3/10's of a mile......hmmmm 'bout 1500 feet more or less

if your drive is 10 ft wide, and you use a 47" snowblower on a Deere X585 that would take about 3 passes, 20' would take 5 or 6..

Plus...the x585 is small enough you may be able to use it on your sidewalks...

maybe that helps with your perspective

you are not compareing apples to apples with the models and brands you specified.

The Deere 4115 would be more in line with the Kubota 2400

Just had a few more thoughts on the subject..

The most logical way to attack this problem is to follow the flow of power......

start with the drive...The end that hooks to the motor.
Check for worn gears, drive couplers etc.....

Next, spin the cable by hand...on the tractor...does it feel free? Spin it with a varibale speed drill while hooked to the tach head...does it function properly??

Last, if the first two items check out..yup...it's the tach head. But just for the heck of it, try spraying some kind of solvent inside the light socket in the tach head. I would try Stoddard Solvent. Maybe that will clean things up enough to get things working again...

Besides...if it is the head..what have you got to lose??

Good answers Art........ket me add a little more.

Due to the fact that hyd. systems have a much greater volume of fluid to handle...alot more....the filter medium must be large enough to handle greater amounts of forign matter and still maintain enough flow to allow the system to work....

also, service intervals on hyd filters are usually much longer.

You very well could, leaving your front end to try to hold the extra weight that you can lift,it might not have been designed for and your loader would be slower.

I had the same problem on my L3710DT. The arms just wouldn't open wide enough for my Rhino SE6 or Pyramid box. The dealer's mechanic come out and removed the arms from the sleeve, cut about two inches off the back of , then reinserted. With pins removed they now swing all the way to the tires at any height. These arms were not telescoping.

I'd sure ask a dealer before operating it. Generally, you can measure the current with a VOM to double-check the alternator light. Most times an over-heated diesel will smoke black. Low oil pressure is another story and really something you want to know about.
