I don't think they ever did. One guy tried to fix by changing hydraulics with a grand l but no worky.

I found a thread titled "Jerky Lseries 3pt hitch fixed." From what I read in that thread Kubota has superceeded the part number for the valve 3 times. So 3pts were fixed with a adjustment. I think some were fixed will a valve out of a L3010.

I have not heard anyone complain about the jerky 3pt recently so mabe the newer tractora don't do it.

Seems like the L3400 was the worst of the bunch. A couple guys here fixed, or got theirs fixed by internal adjustments. Only a handful of complaints out of many thousands of L models sold?

The 3PH operation was the first thing that I checked when I was looking at a L3400 on the dealer lot. Bought the tractor and the 3PH is as smooth as all get up. I'm guessing that it was a hit and miss issue with these tractors.(?) The L3400 has done everything that I have asked from it and very happy with it.

It only takes a few loud voices on the internet and it looks like an epidemic problem.

I just did.

There were some legitimately bad ones out there. I'm sure his is one of them.

But take the number of basic L models sold vs complaints and the problem was very, very small.

Yes, there were two fixes posted in case somebody's interested in searching for them. Fixes were also past on to Kubota and one involved an adjustment of some internal componant (escapes me right now). Maybe they actually listened and the new ones don't have the problem.
