Road Speed

[harryjen]

Hi,
I have a L3410HST.Does anyone know the road speed?Mine will only run 10 to 11 MPH.Thanks Harry

I think most will top out around 10-12 mph unless you get into much larger machines. It makes you notice and appreciate the scenery a bit more if you have to drive more then half a mile. :thumbsup:

Harry, I don't really know, but I suspect that's normal. The L3410HST was hydrostatic transmission, 27 gross hp. The B2710 that I used to have was also hydrostatic transmission, 27 gross hp and had a top speed of 11 mph. When I had a little B7100, its top speed was 9 mph.

I think that's about right, I have a 39hp gear tractor and in road gear at rated RPM it goes 12.4 (I think, maybe not exactly). I have turf tires so IIRC, I need to deduct 14%, which puts it at 10.7mph. I would imagine there isn't a huge difference between top speeds for various cut's. I think even the big ag tractors usually top out around 20-25, though I could be wrong- I think I remember seeing that on one of the gear charts in one.

Yep, a neighbor had a big John Deere that would do 22 mph and the Oliver I used so much would do 18 mph.

Sounds a little low. I had a L3710 and top speed was 14 by its speedometer and the book. I think the only difference between it and yours is the 3 HP engine diff.

Thanks i guess that must be the speed it runs.I was using the gps on my phone to check it.I just thought my old 8N ford run around 15 to 16 MPH that that was slow but i guess not.Thanks to everyone!Harry

Remember the old Farmall `M'? Those were pretty fast in top gear. 6 gears I believe,or maybe it was 5?. don-ohio ^)

You really don't want to go much faster. I have a farmall H, it will do 15 or so, but only on a smooth, paved road. Steel wheel versions were sold with the 5th gear locked out, for safety. Small tractors don't have suspensions or brakes for speed. Euro tractors have faster speeds, but have better brakes and suspensions.

When I was a kid, my father towed our Farmall H with his pickup and lucky me at the wheel. He was in a bit of a hurry - let me just say that loaded tires at high speed will bounce off the ground and scare the &^%% out of you! I was lucky to survive that experience.

5 Speeds on the M and H about 16-17 MPH

I can sure identify with that. My Dad towed our 1940 John Deere L into town behind a pickup with me at the wheel of the tractor when I about 12 years old. When we went from our dirt road onto the pavement at an angle and over a hump, I got one of the worst scares of my life because that old tractor's steering was well worn and had a lot of "play" in it and it tended to wander all over the road.

My MX 5100 does 19 mph. That is too fast for me.

With a higher top speed I would worry about stopping.

16.4 MPH

TC34DA HST top speed is a little over 12mph. Like most tractors, it has the power to go faster but not the gearing.

 

[High Compression]

My L5740 is 18 mph on average. I've hit 21 mph going down hill though.

Correct. Per the Kubota Grand L10 Series Sales Brochure for the L3410:
Forward Reverse
Low Range 4.1 mph 4.1 mph
Med Range 7.7 7.7
High Range 16.4 13.1

HehHeh! I'll guarantee you that my Uncle's Farmall `M' went over 20 mph......`course my cousins were pretty good with a wrench,and they probably had it tuned up quite a bit. LOL! There's no way a man,unless a sprinter, could've run with this thing. I was pretty fast at 14 yrs.old and I couldn't have caught it,no way.don-ohio ^)

We used to tie a piece of baling twine to the mechanical governor arm of our farmall B. That thing would fly when you pulled the string and over revved the engine. Then daddy found out..... That was the end of that foolishness!
