I have a L4330HST and a LA853 loader. I take the loader on and off several times a year. The last time I took it off I could not get one of the hoses off. I released the hydraulic pressure by moving the control levers and that did the job. When I was putting the loader back on I couldn't get the hoses attached. The hydraulic pressure was so high that I couldn't get the couplers on. I started the tractor stoppped it and moved the rear hydraulic controls and loader controls to release pressure and the pressure still wouldn't release. I kept doing this for about a half hour and finally got the hoses attached one by one. Could there be something wrong to cause the hydraulic pressure not to release? I even went and put on a rear attachment to see if that would help it release after I shut off the tractor. I am a novice at this stuff but I have taken the loader off a half dozen times before and never had this problem. Any ideas?<br>

Thanks for the help!

I am looking at buying a John Deere 24 T baler. One of my friends told me to make sure that parts are still available. Anybody have any Idea? I am going to pay only 200 dolars for it and the baler works. But if you can't get parts it will only take one malfunction to make it a bad decision.<br>

Thanks<br>

I am looking for a 3 point snowblower for my Kubot L4330. I am considering a 6ft Hayban. I have never heard of it before and can't find anything out about it. The guy is asking 875 dollars for it. He said it was 1800 new. Anybody heard of that brand and no where I can look at a new one for comparison priceing? Thanks Lakeman

I purchased a 6' King Kutter tiller last year. I have put it through the ringer and t keeps on tilling. I have hit a thousand rocks with it up to the size of a basketball and it keeps on ticking. I have wrapped a steel rod the width of a large pencil around it. I am not suggesting that this machine is made for this(none are) but it has held up very well. If you are looking at normal use such as a large garden you are wasting money to pay twice the price for other brands.

Hello, I need advice. I have a L4330 Kubota and need to know if I can do the 100 hour maintenance by myself. I have no problem draining fluids and replacing or lubricating. Is that the extent of it or do you have to remove tires or jack it up? How much time does it take?

Thanks

Hello<br>
<br>
I have a driveway that I recently had built. It is 400 feet long and 15 foot wide with fairly steep ditches on both sides. The driveway goes up a hill. I have a Kubota Grand L 4330. What can I do to maintain the crown on the drivey so the water runs of the sides instead of down the middle. I have a box blade and a front end loader. Would these tools do it. I was also thinking about a blade. I am not sure how to make the slope. Any advise would be appreciated.<br>

Thanks<br>

I am not sure what a propane plaque heater is. Sounds very interesting. I could hook it into my large propane tank thats on the home furnace. What is a brand name of one of them. I did a search on Propane Plaque Heaters and came up with nothing.

I am in need of a log splitter. I have rear hydraulics on my Kubota 4330. Do I need anything else with the hydraulics to operate the log splitter. Does a person want to go this route or get a stand alone splitter? I apologize for my ignorance on this matter. <br>

Thanks for the help.

Orange rules. Why do you think they have by far the majority of the market in the compact tractor. My dealer sold Blue and Orange. 3 weeks after I had my tractor I asked him which really is the best. He said that both are good but the orange is the best. The compact tractor is Kubotas bread and butter and a small part of NH lineup. He also said that NH hasn't changed the blue in years and Kubota is always changing. Honestly I don't think you can go wrong with either. I love my orange though.

Go for the 3830. The bigger the better. Its more horsepower. Tractor size roughly the same. You never know what you will need more power for. I have a 4330 and wish I would have went for the 5030 for 3 thousand more.

Good luck.

I purchased some diesel fuel additive to use in my tractor. It doesn't say anything about helping to keep the fuel fresh. I use Stabil in all of my gasoling engines. Is that somehting that I can use in the diesel fuel? The Stabil says nothing about gasoline or diesel. It just says fuel.<br>

I talked to dealer today. They said that the owners manual is very conservative and he recommends not changing the transmission or hydraulic fluid until 200 hours. He said I should look over everything and check all fittings etc and change oil after 50 hours. What do you guys think?

Thanks

I have 30 Acres of CRP that I have to mow wich is covered by gopher mounds. I have a 43 HP Kubota. I am using a 6 foot rotary cutter now but it is so rough it is so rough it takes forever and I am sure it is not to good for the cutter either. Is there something else out there that would work better?

Thanks

Thanks for the advice. I think I am going to go your route. When I say landscaping I mean turn 3 acres of CRP (grass) into my front lawn. I kiled it with ROundup and burned it clean. Now I think I will take my box blade and go over it a couple of times, pick up rocks and then use the rototiller.

I had the same difficult choice between a L4330 and 40D. I chose the Kubota. I chose Kibota and am very pleased. The delaer sold both brands so he didn't care. I asked the sales manager later and he said he felt Kubota is built a little better. He also said that the NH has been around the same for 7 years and hasn't changed while the Kubota is always trying to be more innovative. Its more of there bread and butter than New Hollands. Just my 2cents worth. i don't think you can go wrong.
