I have a similar case on a L4310 whereby the glowplug light indicator on the dash sporatically comes back on after the tractor is started. It eventually stays out after the engine warms up. Is this normal??

We have a Kubota L4310 hydrostatic (bought used with ~ 220 hours) and its performed fine. Another poster noted that the Kubota dealers were not up to par. I found the reverse in central NH. So it's important to know about the dealer / service network. My uncle bought Fords back in the 1970's but I understand that Kubota and JD and Massey Ferguson import from Japan. Ergonomics are important too - try the fit.

Does anyone have 1st hand experience using a "flail mower"? I bought an International World Agritech 4' rotary mower last year. Our 7 acres of pasture has quite a few rocks and I replaced a few shear bolts. Would the fail mower be a better tool for cutting pasture grass (timothy, clover, sheep fescue, raspberries along edges)?

Although we don't have a barn yet, our timber-framer provided a 1st floor radiant slab and a basement slab (for my workshop). The basement slab is insulated w/ 2" blue-board beneath; the radiant tubing and components are supplied by "Wirsbo".

You should speak to a local plumber how has done this work before, has the (radiant) tools, and is comfortable in working w/ radiant. I keep the cellar at about 61 deg. - it's cool initially, but once you start working, it becomes almost hot.

I agree w/ Mohican - get a rotary mower. We have a Kubota L4310 and bought an off-brand 5 ft mower for our 6 acre pasture; ours has a shear pin. I'd say get at least a dozen since the rocks tend to hide below the weeds on the first run. Subsequent mowing events will be better since you will remember or mark the boulder locations.

Our local utility company (PSNH) had details on-line which required conduit for our 550' pull to our transformer. From that point we elected to place the meter near the transformer (i.e. not on house) and continue with a 140' pull & conduit into the house.

The utility inspected the conduit in-place before backfilling. So its probably up to the electric utility re: direct burial. I'd say go with conduit and maybe 1 or 2 intermediate pull-boxes.

Well we've had our used 4310 HST for almost a year now and have been quite pleased (only 220 hrs. when purchased). We bought a rear blade for snow plowing and that's worked out pretty good. The HST is verry handy for back & forth loading. The ag tires dig in a bit but have only got stuck once, in a swale due to ice. Adding Power Service prevented any diesel gelling this winter.<br>

If I used the tractor for work, then I'd recommend getting several rear hydraulic hook-ups and maybe the front PTO capability.<br>

Thanks to tractorpoint.com and member contributions - especially Art White & Murf for constructive comments and photos(like the cans in snow at the front door).

Recently placed a deposit on a used Kubota and am going thru an "implement wish list" w/ the dealer. He says Bush Hog & M-F offer a better value than Woods. He steers away from Land Pride due to return problems.

Wallenstein BX60 vs. Patu DC 40 vs. Valby ??. Need to chip primarily limbs & saplings - not heavy brush - on about 50 acres ... over time. We also have ~ 8 acres of reclaimed pasture. Just placed a deposit on a used Kubota L4310 and have not seen any mention of the Wallenstein product; 1 dealer said Valbys are "power-hungry"; for a few hrs/weekend is the hydraulic feed feature (& remote??) really needed? Only want to buy once!! (choice of power tools: Bosch & Delta) Also, does anyone have a Curtis cab? Your thoughts are appreciated.
