My first thoughts are a faulty joystick but would appreciate any suggestions. Figured I could test the joystick by reversing the hoses temporarily and see if that makes reverse slower. Does anybody know which hoses need to be changed at the joystick. Have also considered one of the 4 relief vales but not sure which one to check.

There are topics discussing the drought that we had this past Summer and the resulting tree kills, both by the drought and also by Ips and Southern Pine Beetles. Thousands of dead trees throughout the entire drought stricken area. Both Pine and Hardwood.

I use both but over time lean more toward using conventional, I see a lot of people say you waste wood as you take a notch from what will be the Butt of the log, I disagree on it wasting wood, a conventional notch allows to get lower on the stump making up for the face notch loss.
Humboldt definitely leaves it look neater IMO thoughRead More

I changed the fuel filter on my Kubota l3240
It's a cartridge type
The tractor started right up and runs good but when you step on the hydro pedal it stalls right out.
It feels like a fuel issue
What should I be looking for ?
Thanks in advance
