If you want to dig with your FEL get a toothbar for the bucket. You'll be amazed at what you can do. My Kubota thinks it's a monster earthmover.

I would use 4 in. fiberglass bats between the rafters which would leave a 3-1/2 in gap between the bats and the decking for ventilation. Then I would nail 1/2 in or 3/4 in foam board to the rafters before installing the sheathing.

As I recall, a gentleman named Mark Chalkley put larger cylinders on his Kubota loader a year or so ago with good results. I'm sure he would be willing to share info with you. His e-mail is (was) mchalkley@attglobal.net Good Luck.

Check with Leonard Sheaffer at sheaftractor@coiinc.com. My 60" was about $300 delivered but that was a couple of years ago.

I had a Ford garden tractor/mower and tried to save a few dollars by buying a replacement belt at the local auto parts store. It lasted a few hours. Went back to Ford OEM belt which lasted several seasons. If you haven't tried it, get a belt from your Kubota dealer and see if it doens't solve your problem.

Watch eBay. There are usually several different Kubota manuals being sold. I got my L3710 shop manual for about 1/4 of the cost of a new one.

I have an L3710 which I believe is the same physical size as the L4610. I lived on 5 acres with my L3710 for a year before moving to my present 30 acres. I feel that the L3710 is a little big for 5 acres. I'd lean toward the L3010 or L3410 particularly if you plan to use it for mowing. While it's true there are a few things the L4610 could do that the L3410 can't, there are also things you can't do with the L4610. I had a lot of trees and there were many places I just couldn't get the L3710 into. Just my $0.02.

You can also increase traction by adjusting tire pressure. My tractor came from the dealer with 22 psi in the rear tires I'm now at 10 psi and it seems to have helped quite a bit. I let air out until the tire tread sits flat (almost) on the concrete driveway.

I believe the rear PTO must be engaged before the mid PTO will operate, have you tried that?

I've lived on 5 acres in the Houston area (Huffman) for 20+ years. I started with a riding mower, that lasted about 2 yrs. Bought a Ford lawn & garden tractor (12 hp, gasoline) which lasted about 7-8 years. I've now have a Kubota G1800 (18 hp diesel)for about 10 yrs that acts like it will last forever. But if I were in the market now I would look real hard at the Kubota BX2200 with a loader and belly mower. The BX looks ideal for small acreage with lots of obstacles (trees).

My Kubota Owner's Warranty Guide says: "...Kubota recommends that you take your equipment to the dealer from whom it was purchased, for the warranty repair. If that is inconvenient, it may be taken to any authorized Kubota dealer. However, the dealer's own customers may have priority."

That sounds like a real good price. I paid about $21,000 a year ago for an L3710 HST with 60" heavy duty bucket, folding ROPS and a cheap box blade. I know the HST adds about $1,000.

By the way, I was planning on the manual transmission also until my wife decided she wanted the HST. Now I wouldn't have anything else, it's so much easier to make direction changes and small adjustments in speed. Also, if you have any inexperienced operators driving the tractor HST is MUCH safer.

How much did he charge? Water is all I have in my tires and that's all I want. Too many problems with the other options. Luckly I live in an area where I don't need to worry about freezing.

When I got my Kubota L3710 a year ago I went to my Texas Farmers agent for insurance. Texas FARMERS doesn't sell tractor insurance!
My agent found another company that would insure my tractor for $400 a year. Since I needed insurance I paid the $400 but this year I went shopping. Farm Bureau sold me the same protection for $83 a year, Germania quoted $86. I'm insured for damage or loss anywhere within 50 miles of the house, $250 deductible, no liability. You have to find an insurance company that's used to dealing with Ag equipment.

Bird, Jim, Thanks - I don't know why I didn't think of Tractor Supply (my favorite store). You're supposed to get wiser as you get older, why doesn't that work for me?

SAE gross horsepower: A production engine's actual power available at the flywheel or output shaft (usually crankshaft) as tested with an absorption dynamometer. It differs from SAE net horsepower in that many of the accessories (such as alternator, water pump, etc.) are not attached.

SAE net horsepower: The brake power (power available at the flywheel or output shaft -- usually the crankshaft) of a fully equipped engine fitted with all the accessories necessary to perform its intended functions unaided.
