Curiously, I went to your link: $1130.00!

I've got a L3400, sort of similar, but 13-14 years older. I looked at a Messick's video on the new L3302 - L3902 tractors, and they look good. I have zero complaints about my L3400. If the L3302 is the right size for your needs, I think you'll be happy. I prefer a HST, but if you're using it...

I don't make a living from tractor use, nor do I care about dealer support. I have purchased three clean used Kubota tractors over the years, from different sources- two from private parties and one from a Kubota dealer, and all three were absolutely trouble free and completely lived up to my...

I forgot about this thread... I had read it with curiosity last year. At my age, and with the sort of chores my L3400 is called on to accomplish, I couldn't justify trying to boost power. I enjoyed an L3130 for a period before realizing it was simply too large/heavy for our property, but I...

My L3400 still has the aftermarket (NAPA) battery in it that it had when I bought it used in 2014. I keep it in the barn, and stick a cheap Harbor Freight maintainer on it when I know it's going to sit for weeks or longer. The battery, when standing at the front, has its pos. terminal on the...

I only have 1.3 acres, but I am surrounded by much more wooded land, and can harvest firewood at will from fallen trees. I first ever tractor was a Kubota B8400 gear drive tractor with turf tires, bought used with 600 hours, in very good shape, because I needed to clear snow. I used it for...

As you can see from my avatar photo, I have a 78" Horst Welding plow (SSQA) on my L3400. It worked for me (I say worked because it's been some years since we had any snow here). The comments about sticking out are correct. I mitigated the pushing effect by putting some 2" Kubota spacers...

My friend has gone to Florida for the winter, so until the spring, the tractor is not for sale.

Seeing how it's getting late, and I just discovered this thread, I skipped some later pages... so I am going to ask, is this a "kit" that one can buy for one's L2501? I'm set with my L3400 and closing in on 80 years old, so the L3400 is my last tractor, but I can see how lots of users might...

My L3400 has a drop down lever to block the clutch open for storage. Never used it, but it's there if desired.

My friend is getting ready to move to their winter home in Florida, and asked me to lower the price to $1500.4

5030- you have my empathy for what you've gone thru, and what you still have to deal with. Cancer sucks, no matter how good or bad it is. You need all the slack cut you can get.

Probably just the need to tinker, but I added a cushion valve to my plow, so I didn't have to worry about popping anything if I caught one side of the blade on something. Of course, with global warming, we haven't had snow to plow in several years... It did work, the time or two I was plowing...

Short of buying a new frame, I'd try to have a competent frame shop bend it back. They do that to truck frames, so why not a loader. Any stress breaks should be readily noticeable.

My friend decided to make the price he wants $2500, and photos of the blade will be coming.
