My L3400 is by far a machine that does all I need to do and then some. If there is one thing I could change it would be the key switch position. How many times have I been doing something and my knee inadvertently bumps the switch and turns off the engine? Too many to count! I have gotten fast...

My brother in law bought a 2007 NH 1520 and the ROPS is too high for the garage. Someone has told him the foldable model ROPS on the NH 1510 will fit right on the NH 1520? Can anyone confirm this? Is there any good options out there to reduce the ROPS by 3 inches?

Back in 2005 I purchased a Duragrader and as some of you know it took two years to recieve my order. See: http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/attachments/71251-dura-grader-problems.html Yesterday I received the message below from the owner of this company. I readily accepted his apology and...

This is my third year using the Agri Supply Kelvinator 3 PT KEULAVATOR FRAME - Agri Supply in our garden . The problem I am having is one of my cultivator shanks continously kicks up. CULTIVATOR SHANK TO FIT INTERNATIONAL - Agri Supply The spring has a nut on top where you can increase the...

Having owned two 284's I have accumulated a stash of parts new and old that are no longer needed since I no longer have the machines. If you live close enough to Beaufort, SC to drive over and pick them up I am willing to give you everything. I do have a whole front axle with broken spider gears...

If any 254 owners are near the lowcountry of south carolina I have a stash of Jinma 254 parts to give away. Pick up only!

This post is not directly related but I thought some of you would be able to help. I have a 5 acre saltwater pond that is fed by a spillway when the tide is high. We have a 6-7' tide change here in the Carolinas. The horizontal three foot diameter pipe runs 40' from the river to the pond where I...

My Kubota L3400 has an older 4690 backhoe that has done quite well until today when I bent the boom cylinder rod. I was digging some riprap around my spillway mouth and had the bucket four feet below the ground surface when I realized the boom could not come back up and the cylinder was visibly...

I purchased a used Kubota 4690 Backhoe/w PTO pump. The unit is working but seems to be weak. I don't have a manual but would like to put a gauge on the hydraulics and check the operating pressure. Can someone give me a heads up on how to do that?

Bushhoging today and realized my gas cap had come off! Is there something generic for an L3400 or is it a trip to the Kubota place?

Having read all the threads about 3 point versus sub frame backhoes I am well aware of the pros and cons! Also having just bought a very nice 4690 3 pt backhoe for a price I could afford it is time to ask the question. I have ordered the reinforced 3 pt top-link bracket. My L3400 has a loader...

Has anybody tried using one of these on their QA front end? Golden Bell Inc. - Skid steer Backhoes, Farm Equipment, Skid Steer Attachments I can certainly think of a lot of pros and cons but there is nothing like finding out how it worked in the field? Thanks for you replies!

Can anyone tell me if a backhoe off of a kubota 3010 would fit on my L3400HST? It is difficult to tell just by looking at the pics!

After owning 2 Jinmas I purchased a Kubota 3400 hydro last year. Trust me I got every dollar out of my Jinmas and have nothing but praise for this machine. For the money it is still one heck of a value! I just want to pass along some observations made between these machines. The power of a 284...

A couple of items for Kubota are in my new Surpluscenter.com catalog. I have ordered a pair of each for spares. Mainly these two may be of interest to some of you: Surplus Center Item Detail Surplus Center Item Detail

The loader on my L3400 drops too fast when I just want to lower the load during transport. It is too Jerky! I know it can be feathered with the stick but is there a way to adjust how fast it drops?

I purchased one of these a week ago at LIMBHOG.com and have trimmed more limbs in less time then ever before! The hydraulic chainsaw plugs right into my thumb quick disconnects on the front of the tractor. It takes five minutes to install or remove. The saw self oils and only requires occasional...

I know this sounds dumb but I have lost the oil level in my site glass. Now I am not sure if the oil level is above or below the glass. I have tried doing some measurements and a dip stick but there must be a way to get it back in? Can one of you bota vets give me a heads up?

I am looking for a suspension seat for my L3400 HST? The footprint of this seat makes it difficult to find a replacement. This seat is the only one I have found so far and it requires some mods along with a $577 price tag. Has anyone found any other options? Utility, Industrial & Mower Seats...

My 5' duragrader has the angled blades that is supposed to build a crown in the road. I am satisfied with the grader but have yet to figure out how to set the implement in order to build a crown. Here is how I currently set up the implement: On a level surface adjust the top link so when in the...

Last week I graduated from a Jinma tractor to a new L3400/x LA463 loader. What a sweet machine! I am familiar with a Koyker loader and didn't take long to figure out how the easy Kubota loader would go on and off. When mowing I prefer to have it off. Anyway I have read all the literature and...

I have noticed some signs of rubbing/wear on my loader and grapple hydraulic lines and am looking for some protective spiral wrap. The local hardware and Lowes have nothing. A google search turns up some large quantities so where does a guy find 25' of this stuff or some similar application to...

I busted a hydraulic fitting on my steering cylinder. Attached is a photo of the fitting. This is a Jinma 284. Does anyone know where I can order this fitting or can you tell me what it is called other then a steering fitting?

As a follow up to an older post I had ordered and prepaid for a five foot duragrader from this website: http://sealfabrication.tripod.com/. That was august of last year and I received my implement yesterday with some help from local law enforcement and David Mizell, aka, sandman2234. The lesson...

Hopefully someone in Mississippi can help me out. I ordered a duragrader back in August and regrettably paid by check. Richard Seal the owner talked to me several times and was very helpful. The day Katrina hit was the day my implement was supposed to ship. I knew how bad things probably were...

What I learned along the way is the object of this thread. I do not own a FarmPro tractor but recently had a transaction with a dealer and the home office in Indiana. In the end all worked out and I have nothing negative to say about these folks. The pricing policy between supplier and dealer...

Loader \"How much is TOO much\" As a follow up to replacing a broken front axle on my 284 here is a lesson learned. I was moving riprap(busted concrete) and mud using LL1 and 4WD. This combination of slow motion forward and bucket manipulation allowed me to slowly work a bucket full of material...

I took my busted 284 front axle to the nearest Farm Pro Dealer who recommended I would be better off purchasing a new axle rather then trying to repair the differential box and axle. The axle arrived a week later(yesterday) and it was obvious when uncrated that this axle was not new but had...

I have over torqued my 284 4wd and damaged the front axle. I have removed both front wheels and axle housings. The right side drive gear in the Standing Shaft Housing has a broken tooth as you can see in the picture. However, when I rotate the shaft that goes into the main housing it does not...

Having a bad back is sufficient motivation to add a grapple to my Koyker 160 Loader. I purchased the machined parts and cylinder from a fellow member, got the spool valve on e-bay and the hoses and adapters from Northern Tool. It was necessary to beef up the loader mounting surface with some 4"...
