kubota l3240

I am getting ready to do the 400 hour service on my L3240 HST. The service includes changing the hydraulic filter, the transmission filter and the hydraulic fluid. The hydraulic fluid change requires 11.1 gals. There are three plugs that have to be removed to fully drain the fluid. See the...

I am doing the 400 hr service on my Kubota. While doing this, I decided to also drain and refill the coolant. Per the owners manual the coolant capacity is 6.3 US qts. I drained the coolant using the radiator drain plug (with the radiator cap removed). This is what the service manual says to...

My L3240 HST has just started giving me an Error-81, Pedal-NG code and fails to move in forward or reverse when the pedal is depressed. Will operate in forward with the cruise control as described in the troubleshooting section of the manual. The temps have been close to zero here, and after...

2010 Kubota L3240HST - adding a 3-point log splitter. I have no rear remotes, nor any attachments that need them. I need a Power Beyond (PB) circuit for the splitter. I am aware of loader valve options and I'm not pursuing that. @TMGT did a really nice job getting into the PB between the Front...

My father in-law is moving to a retirement community and will be selling his tractor. It is a 2007 Kubota L3240HST with only 460 hrs on it. It has been used around the yard and not seen much use on his 2 acre lot. It has a LA514 Loader and a ballast box attachment on the 3pt. He also has a...

In Dec. I bought a used L3240, also picked up a ditch bank flail mower. The tractor didn't have any rear remotes so I checked with the dealer first as they the remotes are pretty integrated on this model, unless you just want to bolt a valve to the ROPS, which I didn't want to do. Dealer...

I have a L3240, both detents on the FEL control valve are hard to engage. The float detent is usable but the dump detent is so hard I need to use both hands. Can this be adjusted?

Hey folks, I'm planning a project to add rear remotes on my L3240 for a TnT. I'd like to avoid the high cost of an OEM install ($1500 for the parts), but also avoid some of the complexity and time involved with a totally custom install. Since I'm inexperienced with hydraulics (but generally...

Just driving to garden area & it died. Acted the same as if standing up while in gear or PTO engaged. When trying to restart same general behavior, as if in gear or PTO engaged. Seat switches checked ok with meter. PTO clutch switch ok with meter. Traced wiring harness to console as best as...

I'm new to the Tractor world but I've been doing a lot of research online. I have the opportunity to buy a brand new LS MT125 TLB or a used Kubota l3240 with 400 hours and a brush hog. I have about 4 and 1/2 acres of property that needs to be maintained but two acres of it is overgrown with...

Hi first post. So a dealer nearby has a 2012 grand L 3240 hst with the loader and backhoe 303 hours. I have not looked at it but by the pics it appears to be in excellent condition. What is a good price on this unit? They have it listed for 26800. I dont really need the backhoe but this model...

I'm trying to tap into the power beyond circuit for a root grapple. The WR Long kit doesn't give great instructions on location for that. Would that be on the loader control valve?

This weekend i noticed while sitting in the tractor that the tires on both sides had oil residue all the way around i looked under the tractor and there was what appeared to be a leak on both side i sprayed them down and left it for a day and came back and it had oil residue on both sides and a...

My 3240 leaks UDT from the split/condensation pin. It's negligible until the oil gets hot after a couple hours of work. I took it to the dealer (out of warrenty) and they changed the front 4x4 shaft seal and one of the wheel seals. They felt that was a common enough problem to diagnose it...

Hello, I'm new to this forum, have been looking and reading on here for a couple weeks now. I am looking into purchasing my first tractor and these are the two I'm looking at right now. I've narrowed it down to Kubota just with the dealer near me and they seem to be tried and tested. The L3800...

My tractor starts and runs fine , until the speed control pedal is operated in either forward or reverse position. Then some kill switch is activated and the engine stops dead, has to be restarted. Also engine dies when the Cruise control lever is moved out of the neutral position. Every thing...

All: Have received a quote for a new (2012-2013) L3240. Would appreciate feedback regarding the reasonableness of this quote. Am wondering based on the fact that this model has been 'replaced' by the L3560 if it would mean one would expect to pay a bit less for the tractor? L3240 +LA724...

I have a 2011 L3240 that I'm installing a factory 3rd function valve kit on (#L2221). I am stopped at valve tank tube. According to the 724 Loader installation instructions, there should be a tank tube coming from the bottom of the loader block. On my tractor there is not a "valve tank tube". I...

This past summer I traded in my woefully not up to the task B3030 for the L3240. I absolutely love this new tractor, arguably even more than the L4610HST I had before the little B. But I have one problem with it. I outweigh my bride by about 80#. To not bottom out the suspension seat on bumps I...

Hey folks, Kinda new around here... I was looking for a new tractor... Deere 3000 series or a Kubota 3800 when I stumbled across a used L3240. I visited it today and it is absolutely mint, tires aren't even broken in with 75 hours on it. It almost would be better to have more hours to it...

I have a Kubota L3240 tractor. Recently, it started stalling when shifting into gear. If I leave it in neutral it runs great! Once I shift to drive/reverse it stalls and shuts off. Any ideas are appreciated!

We are considering buying a Grand L 3240 or 3940. We would like a front-mount (mid-pto) snow blower, front end loader, removable forks, tiller, & rear-mount cutter. We live on a hill with a 700 ft gravel driveway. We've had some 3 ft deep snow drifts and our soil is mainly grey clay. With...

I bought a New Kubota L3240 manual transmission w/ LA514 FEL quick attach for $19,000.00 at the advice of a friend that's a farmer. Was this a good deal?

I just bought a Kubota L3240 with a LA514 fel and it says that it is quick attach with a skid steer coupler. What's the skid steer coupler? I bought the tractor and then deployed over seas. Btw, I'm in the Air Force... So inly played with it for a day. I got an amazing deal! Rex

I have a L3240D and have lost almost all transmission power in forward and reverse. The engine runs fine and throttles up. I have replaced the electronis ecu module with no sucess and I am now starting to look at the relief valves and regulators. any ideas?

I have a discussion going in pricing, but thought I would seek some additional advice. I own a B3200 HST at home, at work we have a L3940 HST, both have loaders, I much much prefer the 3940, but wife loves the b3200 her first tractor experience, she loves to mow with it. The 3940 is...

My Kubota L3240 has the exhaust outlet on the left side, discharging almost directly across onto the left wheel area. This may seem to be OK to some, however when I am working in soft dirt, the left wheel does pick up enough dirt such that the exhaust causes the dirt to be sprayed upward and...

I have a 2011 L3240HST with a LA514 QA bucket. It currently has 94 hrs on it. It has one rear remote and turf tires. Always kept under roof. Immaculate condition. I went to tractor house and prices are all over the place. Some 2009 and 2010's are selling for $20-22k. I think you can buy a new...

I found a 2009 L3240 with 724 loader and mid pro with belly mower. R4 tires and 180 hours. Not sure if it has any team remotes. Dealer is asking $22500. I got quoted a 2012 with same setup with 2 rear remotes but no mid pto for 24800. I'm hoping I could trade deck in on a snow blower or box...

Hi, Does anyone know the lug nut size for the front tires on an L3240? I have a flat and will have to go buy a socket tomorrow... Thanks if you can advise...

Sorry - duplicate post...

Hello - does anyone know what size the lug nuts are on the front wheels of an L3240? Got a flat today and need to get it off for a repair... Looks like I'll have to go buy the proper size socket because I sure can't find one around here! Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone, I'm new to this forum stuff, so bear with me please. My wife and I are looking at a 2008 kubota l3240 hst grand for 14,900. It has 1553hrs on it and is in reall good shape. This is our first ( hopefully our last ) tractor of this size, we are real newbies to this. we have a 40...

After careful consideration and test drive (green and orange) I decided on the Kubota L3240. The deciding factors were ground clearance, a host of premium features that come with the Grand series and I must admit the new 2010/11 styling. Been busy tilling the orchard, vineyard and berry patch...

I noticed the L3240 is not on their website. I was looking at a B3300SU but am now leaning toward a L3200, L3240 (if available) or L3400. Any thoughts on which one would be the best? I have 6 acres with a lot to do. I need a 4WD, HST, FEL, box tiller, box blade, auger and bush hog. I just...

I NEED A TRACTOR FOR OUR 70 ACRE HUNTING CAMP PARCEL. I WANT TO LOG THE PROPERTY, CUT WOOD, MAINTAIN AND PLOW A 300FT. GRAVEL ROAD THAT TRAVERSES A HILL THROUGH THE WOODS. I'M CONSIDERING THE L3240 OR L3400. CAN ANYONE HELP ME WITH ADVICE ON WHAT I NEED AND THE BEST PRICING I CAN GET?

Looking for opinions on the L3240 vs. the L4400. I have 160 acres hunting land and need a tractor. Using it for food plots, maintaining trails, box blade for driveway, loader and grapple for brus and minor dirt work. I have looked at both tractors and can't decide which way to go. Thanks

Hope this is the appropriate forum. I found a really good deal on a used king kutter 20 20" blade 6.5' disc. Do you guys think the L3240 is up to the task of pulling this disc? It would mostly just be used for my 1 acre garden and then several food plots in the fall.

Went to get some work done yesterday and had an error pop up on the display. The Error 83 code references to the cruise function. Anyone had this problem before? I took off the metal cover that is on the cruise and range lever to get at the sensor. If I pull the cruise lever back further...

Hello everyone, I described in a post earlier today about my search for the perfect small-farm & low-impact logging tractor. I'm in the range between the Kubota B3300SU & GL3240 and the Deere 3320. Regarding price, the GL3240 and B3300SU are being offered, w/ FEL at ~$22.3k & $16.4k...

Hello All! After two years of trying to get the heavy lifting and moving done with my old Ford 641, I have realized that I really need a much more reliable machine (99% vs. 50%). Also, while I have managed to get alot done with a chain, drawbar, and box-blade, I have a list a mile long of...

I have a 2008 L3240 HST Tractor. The Front Differential case is supported by the Front Axle Support and the Rear Axle Support. I can not seem to get grease into the Rear Axle Support.

I have a two year old L3240 with 130 hours and the clutch has failed. Told dealer that I smelled ozone-like smell and clutch felt soft at 50 hour service. They said nothing was amis then and it has seemed to run fine until now. The dealer is already trying to blame me for riding the clutch...

Anyone have any complaints or " wished I had" on the 3240. Or anything that is a must have to add when ordering a new one? I will be using for standard bush hogging, box blading, a grapple, so I'm having the third remote added... Anything else?

Looks like a great site.

New L3240 arriving Friday! I finally made a decision and I have to say how grateful I am for all the information available in these forums. I liked the L3800 but discovered that å±*erky 3pt hitch and that would have been a problem for me. The 3240 was the tractor I originally had my eye on so...

I Love it! Obviously I can get a ton of stuff done that used to take forever. Here's a few things that I didn't expect or surprised me: -Compared to other machines I've been around, its relatively quiet, especially at or near idle. I can work outside while my kids are taking naps and it...

After reasearching several tractors and reading countless threads here, I finally settled on a Kubota L3240. Thanks to all the members here who are willing to share their wisdom and advice, it is much appreciated! I really felt like I knew exactly what I was looking for by the time I went to...

I have been actively searching new and used, Kubota, Kioti and anything else that will help me maintain a 330 ft gravel drive, regrade the lawn, run a 5ft bushhog, pull a subsoiler and cut drainage ditches for the last 2 months. You folks have given me a lot of good advice and I'm just about...

I recently was in a hurry and put 5 gallons of gasoline into my tractor. The tractor had about a 1/2 tank of diesel in it at the time. It cranked and ran for about a 1/2 day before losing power and then began to spit and sputter. After I realized what happened, I drained the fuel tank and...

priced a L3700SU today for $19,200 before tax and no implements. They have a Grand L3240 with 140 hours, GST transmission and 6 ft (forgot brand) rotary cutter for $17,500. There is no tax on the used one. Tax is 7.75 percent here. The L3240 is a heavier tractor and can lift 1200 lbs more...

Looking to sell my Kubota Grand L3240 hydro with a front loader and box blade. Purchased in 2005 and it has 100 hours on it. Not sure what I should be asking for it. I would appreciate any help. The front loader is the smaller loader and the box blade is a woods 72". I will also be throwing...

I noticed that if I run the tractor at around 2100 RPM or slightly higher there is a sort of chattering like sound using the FEL controls or turning the steering wheel on the tractor. I never noticed it before but it could be because I have not run it at that exact RPM before. If I raise or...

Greetings I have been reading the controversy of 3 point hitch versus subframe mounts. It appears that the subframe mount is winning the debate. What is the cheapest unit that I could find in BC, Candada ? Thanks Frank

GL3240 Update -- 3yrs & 600 hrs (pics added) We just celebrated our GL3240's 3rd birthday w/ 600 hrs on the clock :) This has without doubt been the most trouble free and valuable investment we've made a very long time. Some of you old timers may remember our L3240's first major project when...

Is a 6 foot loader too big for the L3240? The loader is an LA724. I'm seriously thinking of this tractor due to price and financing. Also does anyone know of any differences between the 2008 and 2009 model years of this tractor?

We have about 15 acres, half of which is a horse "facility". We have some hills, no real rocks or stumps sticking up. We mainly are looking for a tractor that is set up to mow and have a FEL. We are looking at the differences and would like recommendations for either the Kubota GL3240 or the...

I have a Kubota L3240 HST tractor with LA724 FEL that I am looking to put a backhoe attachment on. I have seen several self contained 3 point backhoe attachments on ebay in the $3200 price range. Does the L3240 tractor require bracing up the top link bracket or is it ok to attach the backhoe...

I have a Kubota L3240 with the heavy duty LA724 loader. Only got 102 hrs on the machine and I have issues with the FEL. I have tried to get Kubota to correct the problem with no success because the tractor is 2-1/4 yrs old and they said out of warranty for the hydraulics, no matter how low the...

I have been a quiet viewer of this site over the last months after I bought my 2008 Kubota B2920(still for sale). I figured out what I liked and didn't like about my current tractor and spent hours reading threads till I landed on the new L3240. Bought the new tractor with 724 loader, 3rd...

L3240hst w/LA720 loader, 72" QA bucket, bought new December 2007. It now has 159 hours. Any opinions on what it's worth?

I'm finishing my 50 hour service and noticed the fluid level in the front axle is low. I want to top it off. The manual specificies UDT or gear oil. Any idea what the factory (or dealer) would actually have put in here? I don't want to mix fluids. Sure smells like gear oil.

Guys a question regarding the 50 hr service on the Grand L's. I am ready for my 50 hr service and the maintenance guidelines for the GL 3240 HST does NOT report to change the transmission fluid till 400 hrs. I typically lean towards the cautious side and would think that better safe than sorry...

I am looking at buyinmg a new 2008 Kubota L3240 with a belly mower, King Cutter Brush Hog and a FEL. Price I am being quoted is $27,000. Does anyone have a clue as to whether this a good deal or not. State is OHIO.

I want to take my loader off when I plow (so I can turn around inside fences) but I need the weight for traction Before I go to a scale and disconnect the loader, back out from under it and weigh it, I thought I would ask here. I will add weight to make up for the weight of the loader when I...

I mentioned several times that I've been feeding my 3240 the best fuels and oils hoping it will grow up and be a 5740 some day. I'm always amazed at what the tractor will do but I always want a bit more. I looked at a Grand L 5740 with cab and loader this weekend. I'm scrambling to make the...

Traded my B7800 to a new L3240HSTPlus, Quick attach Bucket and Fiberglas Sun shade this past summer. It now has 22 hours on it. It's just bigger than I need and I want to sell it and buy another B tractor. Would $18500 be a fair price?

Purchased new GL3240 w/FEL and BH75 back-hoe in June this year. Since day 1, the BH leaks down. Mostly the boom, probably due to the weight, but even the stabalizers will leak down completely overnight. When operating the tractor, the boom constantly moves down and you must reach back and...

I recently purchased a 3240 with 724 fel. It seems relatively weak until the RPMs reach about 2000. When lifting and pushing at the same time you can easily stall the tractor unless rpms are high. At low rpm the tractor seems to struggle with very simple tasks (going up a hill). I take very...

With HST transmission, Can someone explain to me why if I have Autothrottle on the engine revs up more when using the HST peddle versus using the Cruise control lever? Thanks, BY

Well, it only took 4 weeks, but my new tractor was finally delivered yesterday. As I mentioned in a previous post, I have to give kudos to the dealer for providing me with a loaner tractor during the delay due to some missing backhoe subframes. That was extremely helpful considering the amount...

Hi all. You may remember me as the lovable city boy who was helping his fiance find a tractor last year. That effort did not result in a purchase and I'm at it again. I think part of the reason she didn't buy the last tractor I recommended was that the price of $20,800 was out of her comfort...

I'm doing the first 50 hour service on my L3240 HST today. I have a few quick questions... 1 - Roughly how much UDT comes out of each of the three drain plugs? IOW how big do the buckets need to be for each drain? 2 - Are there any tricks to getting the 11+ gals of UDT out with only a single 5...
