kubota l3400

I was about to buy a Kubota L3400 and when you push the clutch in while the PTO is on it makes a clicking noise up under the seat, It has a mark on the right outside axle that lets you know that the some Orc has been replaced, i dont know nothing about tractors I have never worked on a...

I am in the final stages of figuing out what tractor to choose. The use I have is a simple one. Mow the hedge. It currently takes me 8 days to trim my hedge with a gas pole trimmer. My thought was to buy an L3400 kubota and a kirogn cl 93 hedge trimmer...

Hi, I am a little confused here and was hoping to get some advice. I am in Massachusetts. Just came back from picking up Diesel at a Mobile Station and after pumping the diesel I noticed it indicated 10% ethanol. Up until today, I have picked up my diesel at a Hess Station and their pump...

I have searched the state website in vain looking for the regs on trailering equipment and have yet to find anything. I'll probably give the SP a call after the new year unless the good folks here could give me some insight. I was told that all equipment must be tied down, separately, on all...

I have 300 feet of uphill, curving driveway 12 feet wide topped by a 30 x 100 foot parking area. A 26 inch walk behind snowblower can take forever, and a back blade on the tractor builds up small banks too high to push the snow over. The drive is so long that the snow spills over and around...

I was surprised to find there was no tool box on my Kubota L3400. I started looking for one. I discovered an army surplus ammo box at the army-navy store. I painted it Kubota orange and mounted it on the left rear fender by the seat. It works great and looks OK. You always needs a few tools when...

Please, do your own research before acting on any of this information, I'm not guaranteeing that the numbers are accurate or that I typed them correctly. Part numbers listed for position control valves, in the order they appeared in their respective tractor model or as a part of a draft control...

Hello: I've been looking at used L3400 tractors for a few weeks, and a rancher friend of mine told me to look at new ones due to the 0% financing available. He bought a new one last year and did a lot of shopping around, so he recommended a dealer that he said had rock-bottom pricing. I...

Hi all, I was formerly on here as Redsmoke (dissatisfied JD 4300 owner). I just traded that nightmare for a Kubota L3400HST and I am a happy man. Only have 10 hrs. on it moving sand, box blading, and rototilling. No issues at all. I have all the equipment for it, although reading this forum...

Considering a purchase of one or the other. Both have HST, pretty much the same specs as I can tell. The B7800 is a little cheaper than the L3400, and uses a spur gear drive rather than a bull gear. Any comments from others as to advantages of one over the other??

After giving up a year ago I am now much closer to actually buying a tractor. Loader work is what it will be for, snow, manure, 500lb round bales. I have narrowed it down to either a Kioti CK30 or Kubota L3400. Have tested both, no preference (HST). Have read a TON of reviews and overall...

582 hours with FEL. They want 12500 Any thoughts ??

Yes, the L3400 was made for left side mount/dismount. Fact is, most times what needs doing on the ground is over on the right side. The FEL joystick gets in the way when jumping onto or off of the the tractor to the right. Do-able, but a bit snakey. I'm about ready to whack the joystick. I...

When it comes to hydraulics I am an idiot. I want to add 1 remote to the rear of my tractor. If I put a "T" in the inlet line and return line that goes to my Front end loader block, can i run these two lines to the rear to control a Hydraulic top link? I only need it for when i operate a BB...

Recently I traded my 5+ year old New Holland TC30 for a Kubota L3400. The two tractors fill the same market niche. Both are quality machines; neither is clearly superior. Some readers may however find the following comparison useful. If I had it to do over, probably would have bought the...

Has anyone tried to lift a 6 foot round bail with their 3 point hitch. Bail weighs around 1100 pounds. Mine tries to lift it but stops after a certain point. Never gets the bail completely off the ground. I can move it but no actual ground clearance. Seems as if a bypass limiter is reached on...

Hello, I am at around 40 hours on my L3400HST with Woods BH-80X and the Backhoe does not seem right to me. I drove the tractor out of the garage earlier today to time how long it takes for the backhoe bucket to drop to the ground and it was about an hour and a half. When I have been working...

I am comparing these 2 Jd tractors about the same price i can get both for about $21,500 ea with loader. Or the Kubota with loader for around $17,500. Does anybody have any imput on these prices. All tractors are hydro and 4wd. Anyone with any imput about these tractors. All the info would...

Hi All, this is my first time participating in this forum... but I've noticed some pretty informative discussions so hopefully this will help me with a decision I need to make soon. The L3400DT has some very good reviews out there. There's not too much negative except for the fact it doesn't...

My pto engages for a few seconds after I let the clutch out and turn off the lever. I usually push the cluth and rev down the engine at the same time and hold the clutch down down for about 5 seconds then let the clutch out slowly. Now the pto seems to rev back up and then slow down to a stop...

The LA463 loader on my L3400 gear tractor started acting up today... it acted like it was struggling to lift... very slow and with a shuddering, jerky motion. Three point lift was very slow also. My first thought was to check my hydraulic fluid sight level, and it appeared O.K. I then notice...

Looks like I am going to Iraq for a year and my relatively new tractor will sit idle for that time. I need ideas on how best to store it and guarantee it will run when I come home. I keep the tractor in a shed on my acreage (six miles from home) so it won't get any rain, snow, or UV rays. The...

Hey folks, I have a bit of a weird one here.. not sure how it happened, but after a long day of digging the HST pedal bolts grew loose. and the factory adjustment is not there now. After reading the owner's guide it says not to adjust the bolt on the floor, so I would assume there must be some...

I am putting rear remotes on an L3400 HST and I have a question regarding the control valve choice. From reading here I see that most recommend a Prince valve with a tank return port (has inlet, outlet and tank ports) like this one...

I have a JD 790 with a JD 421 loader and JD #7 backhoe and love it dearly. It is a fine machine. And yet I wonder. I saw an L3400 hydro yesterday and it was sweet. I have an L4300 gear tractor with ag tires for row crop things so I am familiar with the line but I wonder what the L3400 is...

Well, I am pretty sure on what I want, but I have my financial limitations. I was planning on a L3400DT with gears, but after posting and reading on here I am really thinking I should go with HST. My question is, will there be a noticable difference between the FEL capabilities of the L2800 HST...

Hi All, I am new to tractors and am looking for one for my 12 acres with pond and pasture. I think I am pretty sold on the L3400 with gear transmission and the quick attach/detach FEL. My biggest concern is the lift capacity of the FEL. Can anyone chime in on their experiences with one? THanks...

I made my 3rd stop at another tractor dealer today. It was to see what orange has to offer. I really liked both the B3030 and the L3400 tractors. I want to get one with the FEL at the time of purchase. What are the prices that others are getting quoted out there? Also any of you local to the...

Just so it is documented, the PTO cable on my L3400 (170 hours) did not disengage this weekend. I was checking out the tractor and bushhog to get ready for the upcoming season. I had a long list of things to do, the last being lubricate the PTO cable since I had never done it. I was on the...

I am interested in your honest experiences brushhogging with the L3400. I would be going through 20+- acres of overgrown field a few times a year. I would love the power of the 4400DT but my present situation dictates that I go with the 3400. The property is located in Maine and consists of...

Besides the horse power what is the difference between the two of these, as I stated my needs in the L39-jd110 post, 58 acres, will be running a 7' flail, replanting trees, etc thanks

Hi all I got a dealer who wants to sell me a brand new L3400 HST (3 range) with a loader, intermediate tires (loaded for no extra charge) for $21,000 Canadian. I know that is more than the US price but I think it's a pretty good deal (forgot which loader, but it's the "usual one" for the...

there's a couple of plugged opening/holes in a black hydraulic hose block/hydraulic valve? What are they for///extra auxilliary outlets usable for a grapple??, possibly?? Can I use these outlets for an el. grapple valve supply ? I obviously know nothing about hydraulics, but I need a grapple...

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...

I'm fixin to buy a Kubota L3400 with the QA Bracket. Can I use most skid steer attachments with my tractor? I'm getting forks as part of the deal.

I recently got a quote from my local dealer on a 3400 hst w/ a fel and R4 tires for $17400. I've been looking on the web for awhile and found some better deals, barlow equipment being one of them. The thing I'm worried about is buying a tractor from an out of town dealer and then getting hassled...

With Kubota FEL. HST model. Needed to hang a couple gets today for better access, so I have had only minimal seat time. But overall it seems like a great machine. For it's capabilities - and my needs - seems to be a stout machine for the $$$. Did like the Mahindra, but local had to HST...

That the dealer could not really answer. Not supre impressed with the sales person at the local Kubota dealer, but price and service seem competitve. If the can locate a L3400 HST - looks like I will be buying. But first - A couple of quesitons that those in the know out there may be able to...

I am new to the FEL and Kubota. The question I have is that I don't feel that the FEL is picking up what it is capable of. For instance I filled it with some dirt and wood chips and it struggles to pull it out of the pile. I don't know if there is an adjustment or if I am doing something...

Hi fellas, I,m new here and also new to Kubota. I'm looking at a L3400 HST and also the manual shift. 16000.00 for the HST and 14700.00 for the manual shift. Also has Kubota solved the issues with the cams on the PTO on the L3400 tractors. I'm trying to decide between the l3400 and a John...

My Dad is looking at a new L3400. I don't know anything about the L3400 (I have an L5030), so I looked at Kubota's website and the spec's show the pto as "live, continuous with OCR". Can someone explain what that means? TIA

I'm just about to take the plunge on a new tractor, which will be my first machine larger than a lawn and garden tractor. I'm hoping you guys can help me out (I've been lurking around for the last week, learning as much as possible as quick as I can). Property/usage specs: 10 acres, ~6 acres of...

Per Kubota you are to change the oil every 200 hours. I put maybe 50 hours per year on my tractor (mainly snow plowing and bush hogging) so should I change the oil once a year at 50 hours our wait a couple of years and change it at 200?

Going to order my tractor next week and have a few last questions. My choices are between the B3030 and the L3400 (maybe the L3130 if the price isn't too much more). I have read all comparisons here and elsewhere and it seems to come down to the B's bells and whistles or the L's weight and...

Hello people, I'm new and also gonna be a first time tractor owner. We have been given 20acres by my wife's mother which may be 40 acres soon if the neighbor sells us 20 acres. Probably about 7-10 acres that need to be bush hogged. There are about a million pine trees down from pine beetles...

Will John Deere JD 350 9' sickle mower fit and operate on a Kubota L3400's 3-point lift arms and clear the top link assembly? I have a Cub Cadet 7360ss which is pretty comparable in size to the above Kubota. Most people are familar with the Kubota and not the Cub series, so that's why I asked...

My relatively new (71 hours) Kubota L3400 will not start. The dash lights come on, but when I turn the key all the way there is no click or response at all from the starter. The dash lights stay strong and do not dim when the key is turned. Earlier in the day the same problem occured and I...

I've been doing much research and have been lurking for awhile on this forum. Lots a great advice and testaments to kubotas. Just figured I'd post a pic of the new addition to the family. Cheers! Shane

I have come up with kit that will allow anyone to add a tool box behind the seat of a L2800-3400 Kubota tractor . 3 pieces uses existing 3 point top bar hanger and Slow Moving Vehicle sign , Kubota Orange , bolts right up just add box . PM me if interested .

Called the dealer to ensure filters/fluids were in stock for my 50 hour service. Asked him if the shop manual for the L3400 was in stock too as I'd like to pick it up. It's like he's never heard of the thing or ever sold it before. He says it will have to be reprinted by Kubota and will be no...

I have had my new Kubota L3400 HST for a month now, and thought I would try to give back a little of the help I received on this site. Since I have never operated a tractor, I spend several months researching, asking questions and visiting all the major dealers. I am sure there are others in the...

Ya'll know what they look like so I won't bother posting pics. Anywho, man, what a cool toy, errmm, tool. With a 20 minute orientation the day before at the dealer and an hour spent reading the safety warnings, I mean Operators Manual, I was mowing and clearing brush immediately. I'm taken...

Does anyone know where/how to adjust the parking brake on a L3400 HST Kubota ? I have 17 hours on mine and the parking brake is no longer working that well. When I first got it the tractor held well even on inclines. I still would drop the FEL and rear attachments in addition to throttle down...

My 3400 HSt was new in dec 2006 and recently developed an intermittent starting problem, sometimes it would go etc.. We thought it was a faulty kill switch under the seat but after the dealer (warranty work - quite helpful so far) sent a mechanic 80 miles to change the switch we found - it's...

Looking at tractors and thought I had narrowed it down to the L3400. However, today I find a MX5000 that will cost only 500 more than a L3400. The MX is two wheel drive not four. I don't need four wheel drive, at least I dont' think I do. 1. Is there that much difference in 2 vs 4 wheel...

First I want to thank everyone for helping me make my decision throughout the last few months. The personal feedback has been great. The package that I came up with was the L3400HST with a Woods LC108 loader and a Woods BH80XT backhoe. I used the 0% for 36 months. I am going to retire in a few...

I'm looking at a small 30hp tractor with front end load, box blad and brush hog. I am going with 4wd and have did comparisons and read different reviews. Now it is time to ask for opinions of guys that actually use the tractors and not those trying to sell them. Please chime in and give me...

Finally got around to locating the camera. Here's some pics of the new addition to the family. The lighting wire isn't cleaned up yet, but WOW what a difference they make. j

Hi everyone, I'm new to tractor buying and I have been doing a lot of research on the compact tractors within the past few months. This site has been great for me because I was able to check out information on Kubota tractors. My father in-law has a B21 TLB and its like a little tank. Its was...

I have been leaning toward a new L3400 for all the reasons you buy new, but see a clean NH 1920 (800 hours) and a JD 1070 w/Curtis Cab in the 12,500-13,000 range on dealer's lots. Primary use is going into the woods and chipping, so the higher pto hp of the older tractors is attractive. I will...

Good Morning I have enjoyed researching for my new tractor here, I would like to share a picture of my new Orange machine. 2007 Kubota L3400F I am glad I went Orange, I love it altho I have only had it for 4 days. The second picture shows the tractor I have used for the last 30 years. A 1967...

:) Well we did it, the Father in law and I went in partners on a new L3400 4wd, gear drive trans., FEL, 5' rotary mower and a 6' blade for the property in GA. Gonna pick it up the end of the month when we go up (we're in FLA.). I'll post some reviews as soon as we get some hours on her. George

Our L3400 HST (my wife doesn't like me saying "my" :rolleyes: ) arrived this morning - with Armoralled tires, of course!:D Here it is just as it arrived. Just before backing it off the trailer. Off the trailer and ready to move up to the barn. Momma getting checked out on the L3400 and...

Got my new L3400 with FEL and box blade delivered a couple days ago. At present my barn is crammed with boxes of household stuff as we are building a new home. Tried to get the 3400 in the barn but cant get it all the way in save for elevating the FEL almost all the way up. Question for you...

Here is one for all of you seasoned Kubota guys: got my new Kubota L3400 w FEL and 60" box blade delivered yesterday. Ran it for about 2 hours. This morning I had a greenish fluid on the garage floor underneath. Pretty close to the front end of the tractor. Looks like an antifreeze but I'm not...

Hello Everyone Newbe Here I am looking to buy a Kubota L3400F, 2wheel drive , gear-drive. What should the price increase be over the L2800F? Are these prices average? I have been quoted $10,375 for the L3400F including the $600 rebate and $9,100 for the L2800F including the $600 rebate...

I have a new L3400 HST with about 20 hours on it. The right front tire(sitting in seat) angles outward that is the top of the tire is out more than the bottom the left side looks straight. I see the adjustment in the manual but will that only adjust the right side tire. The tie rods I guess...

I've been reading these forums for awhile, but I finally decided to register and post. First of all, right now I have a Kubota L175 that has done everything I have ever asked of it, but I need to upgrade due to more needs. I'm in the market for a ~30hp, 2WD tractor that will be used for mowing...

My dad ordered a rear remote with his new L3400. To our surprise it seems to be a sort of makeshift arrangement, although the dealer swears up and down it's a Kubota remote. My own dealer got a look at it and claimed that it wasn't. Dad's remote is clamped to the ROPs on the right side...

Thanks to all the info and threads I 've read here I went out and purchased a L3400 w/ FEL and wood 80X backhoe. Been at it a whole 10 hrs already. Need your input to see if I am doing things right or not: Warm up the tractor for bout 15 minutes after I do my visual checks. ( one cigarette) I...

I have been putting some time in on the L3400, mostly brush cutting and loving every minute of it. One question has come up that I need some help with and would appreciate input from those in the know. Rear hydraulics was ordered mainly for use with a log splitter. However, I noticed that...

This is my first tractor. I'm completing building a house on 18 acres and have lots of projects and cleanup work to do. I visited a local Kubota dealer (in N. Calif.) to price the L3400HST. He quoted $17,800 for a L3400HST with LA463 and Ag tires. He'll reduce the price by $1,500 for a...

This is great forum, really helpful. I have been reading for about a month and have been learning a lot with so much more to go. Zeroing in on a new L3400and need some help. Not quite sure exactly how the Pto controls function and how to use/operate the pto. Kubota spec sheet calls it...

Hi everyone, I am making a decision on buying a L3400 HST and Kubota loader this week. I have two dealers within a resonable distance. Both seem like good people to deal with and are about the same in price. One in particular has really went out of his way to help by letting me operate any...

Hello everyone, I am thinking of buying a L3400 DT. I have done a lot of tire kicking and keep coming back to the L3400 DT. Today I was quoted a price from my local dealer of $14950. This is with Ag tires and a loader. Is this a good price? Should I try to get them to knock more off the...

1. I just did the hydro fluid change and such on it (using some high dollar SUDT) and I changed both screw on filters as advised in the manual. However I couldn't find the "mesh screen" filter that folks keep talking about. I think (after further research) that there isn't a mesh screen on...

I had narrowed the seach to a gear L3400 based primarily on pto hp for chipper work. For another $3000, the price of a chipper, the dealer has a mid 300 hour '04 TC33DA, 14la w/qa bucket, HST, and a backhoe. I don't really need a hoe now but know they become useful. The TC owner moved up and...

I've been lurking long enough so it's time to jump in. We own 6 AC in northern CT. which about 5 is cleared. The remainder is low-lying swamp. Situated on the rear property is our 4 stall 24' X 48' horse barn and all the manure that goes with it. Anyway, we have never owned a tractor. In the...

And I love it!!! Northern Michigan, 1 rear remote and FEL $17,000 plus tax. It replaces a 2002 L3000DT, which I sold to a good friend. It was a great tractor, but I wanted something other than the gear shift.

What size of a snow blower do guys think is appropriate for my machine. 5.5 foot would cover the back tires with probably 3 inches extra on both ends. I'm trying to figure out if I should just stick to the 5.5 foot or go with a 6 foot. Would a 6.5 foot be too big if the odd used one comes up...

Hi, After reading through all the good advice on this and other forums. I'm trying to decide which of these to buy. Background, I have 7.5 acres, fair amount of hill, around 1.5 acres to be mown currently. I want to use the machine for general landscaping, road maintenance, and clearing the...

Is anyone having issues with there PTO on these models? I read several posts from last year where guys were having trouble with there PTO, especially with running a tiller. I was leaning towards a 2800 HST, but after reading some of these posts, I'm getting scared. I will be tilling several...

I have about 17 acres of hilly ground to maintain in south central Iowa. It consists of mostly cutting/mowing heavy brush, a horse pasture, and CRP acres. The terrain ranges from hilly (if row cropping would have to contour plow), to low and usually muddy near the pond. Also have a lane of...

I have visited my local dealer and thought I had made my decision on a 3030 with a BH75 backhoe. Although the dealer never tried to talk me out of the Kubota backhoe, he did mention that Woods was another alternative and their 70 and 80 backhoe models have the option for a mechanical thumb...

I like the Deere better, it is more ergonomic and has more bells, I like the foot pedals for the HST vr.s the rocker pedal HST on the Kubota. Kubota also has the grands with more bells , same HP although. I do not like the $4k more for the Deere although.

After months of research and deliberation I went to the dealer and bought a new L3400 HST. I had initially decided to go with an L2800 and talked myself into the L3400 for the extra HP. I didn't want to have buyers remorse later on and say " I wish I would have spent the extra money then. " To...

I've been back and forth on getting a rear blade for my new Kubota. I approached my dealer and figured the Woods RB72 was the right size. He suggests that I can comfortably go with the RB84 as an angled RB72 will only just cover the tractor's wheels. Any thoughts on whether the 84 will be...

I apologize if this post gets lengthy. I hope y'all will be patient and help me out here. I have searched and read until my eyes are crossed. I'm wanting to purchase a tractor to do the following: prep new yards for seeding/sodding, construction cleanup, rip-up old yards and redo (seed/sod)...

I just bought a Kubota L3400 with fel & 5 ft. brush cutter & r4 tires. The cutter dose not cut quite as wide as the width of the rear wheels. Thinking of going to a 6 ft. cutter. Anybody out there had experience with a 6 ft. cutter on a Kubota L3400. Tractor is about 35 PTO HP. Thanks for your...

I have just bought a Kubota L3400 with fel and 5 foot brush cutter. Thinking of trading the 5 foot cutter for a medium duty 6 footer. If anyone out there has a 6 ft. cutter on their L3400, I would appreciate it very much if you could drop me a line and let me know how it is working for you...

I just bought a new Kubota L3400 with a 5 ft. brush cutter. The tractor has the industrial tires and the width cut by the cutter is slightly less than the width of the rear tires. This makes it a little tought to get that brush right up close to a fence. I am thinking of trading for a medium...

i'm trying to compare these two. i see on the specs the L3130 has an independent pto, and the L3400 has a live continuous with ORC. could someone please explain the difference? i've also read on other posts, a problem with the ORC (sort of like the shuddering on the 3ph issue). does anyone...

OK, 1st post. I thought I had my mind made up to get a new JD790 in April/May of this year. My uncle bought one this August & LOVES it. I thought that it would be wise to get the same tractor so that we could share attachments, backhoe, forks, etc.. Until I saw the Kubota L3400. The...

A big thanks for everyones help, I never asked a question but found out a TON of information on this site. I will try to upload a few pics of the new workhorse. I have alot of projects ahead of me. I found the loader a MUST have for the work that needs to be done. Also the HST is great for...

I have seen a very nice one-owner recent trade 1997 JD 1920, 4WD, shuttle shift, with FEL/bucket with 900 hours at a dealer...asking price $13,900 for about $2K more, I could buy a brand new Kubota L3400 with FEL/bucket... any comments/advice?? Many thanks and best regards, Fred B. Boston

First off, I have to say that this site is great! That said, I've got a bit of a dilemma that has alot in common with other posts here. I am down to a decision between the Kubota L3400 and the JD 790. Both have good financing at 0% for 24mos (36 would have been better, but I waited too...

Advice appreciated... I am in market for new tractor, having sold my 1952 JD AR recently. Based on my needs, I am interested in either a JD 790 or possibly Kubota L3400 (or maybe even a Kubota L3130 or 3430). Main uses... 15 acres of heavy woods in central NH... moving rock, some digging...

I just want to say thanks to everybody here for helping me on making a good choice.I don't know if I got a deal or not but I got what I wanted.L3400 HST withLA463 loader,GBS 60 inch box scraper,2spool top-n-tilt $19,200

WHAT CAN I EXPECT TO PAY FOR A L3400 GEAR, 4WD, LOADER IN TEXAS ANYONE KNOW?

Just got my new L3400 HST w/FEL. Everything is great except: I noticed on this site a few complaints about the 3 pt lift not being very smooth...shuddering. The solution was to have the dealer replace the valve with the valve that is in a grand L series. So I did just that. The dealer called...

My l3400 HST seems low on power, I guess I am looking for some reasurance. There are plenty of times when I could easily stall the engine in Low range at pto throttle doing loader work. I feel that with 34 HP I should be spinning the wheels. The terrain is usually a mud/clay with a fairly hard...

I just bought a 3400hst and am wanting to get a box blade for it. What is the widest blade to use safely with this tractor? Thanks

I'am a new here guys' this is my first post. I wanted to get a price check, on a package deal . Does anyone know what the going price is for this package is ? L3400 / FEL / Rhino 5' / = $ I'am guessing around $16,000.00 drive out....

Does anyone have a quick attach mount on their FEL on an L3400 or L2800? I have the LA463 loader on my 3400, but it doesn't have a quick detach feature. Does anyone know of a good quick attach available for my loader? I would be interested in trying to use a front boom pole, forks, etc for...

I've been lurking for months while waiting to take the plunge. Now that I did I want to say thanks to everyone for all the great information. I was absolutely clueless about compact tractors when I started looking. By most standards I'm still kinda clueless but at least now I'm comfortable...

Well, thanks in part to you all I've made a tractor decision and may get it next weekend. It'll be the L3400, gear driven, 4WD with the Kubota FEL and Ag tires. $15,450 before tax. Sound fair? It's from Scholten's in Burlington, WA. Thanks! I'm already making Brmm... Brmm... noises in my...

I just purchased a house on 7 acres and have been looking at these 3 tractors to maintain it. I will be using it to maintain 1200' of gravel drive and to mow an open field (only 3 trees on it) of 4.5 acres. I will keep this mowed regularly - at least every two weeks. I have a 61" ztr to mow...

Well folks my old 8N just gave up the ghost and it is time to upgrade. I am looking at a new L3400dt but really know nothing about these machines other than what I have read here, elsewhere and been told by the salesmen. I am being quoted $23900 Cdn including an LA463 loader and 72" series blade...

I need the following measurements: Length of the top link extended / retracted, length of the solid side arm and the diameter of the pin that goes into the top of the side arm on the right side. My L3400 is 100+ miles away along with the manuals etc. I hope to get some seat time this weekend...

We am purchasing one of these, but would like some advise on which one. We have 20+ acres and would primarily be using the tractor for mowing. I'll be adding a loader in the next year. The 50 horse will pull a bigger mower but is it worth the loss of 4wd. We live in FL and the land is fairly flat.

Thanks for the great advice I got my new 3400 yesterday and we love it.Put 6.4 hours on mowing pushing trees and bushes. Glad I listened and went bigger b7800 might have worked but I had one bush even 3400 couldn't push out.Check out pic it dosn't look this good now...

Hello, to all great discussions in these forums. Looking to purchase soon. I was at my local dealer last weekend and got some pricing. Iam new at this so be kind. L3400DT w/FEL 60" lift #1,000, $16,500, L3130DT w/66" lift #1,345 $18,000. I have 3.5 acres to mow but will have to maintain 50 acres...

I just got my 50 hour service for my new 3400 HST. I took it in myself and they replaced filters, fluid, lubed, etc. No repairs or anything out of the ordinary. THe cost??? 397$. That is about 8$ per hour for the first 50 hours. Is this a normal price? Can others tell me what theirs cost...

Having a blast!!! The other day I dug a good sized rock out of the ground, the shape was long but round. Fit in the bucket perfectly with about a foot to spare on one side. Loader wouldnt pick it up. Am I expecting too much? Rock did not hang over the edge, completely in bucket. Also on my...

The seat switch on my tractor is inconsistent in performance. Has anybody else noticed an issue? A brief explanation of the intended operation logic/sequence would also be appreciated. After mowing Saturday the tractor would not start. O volts to starter. I unplugged the seat switch and fiddled...

I am trying to decide on a tractor and plan to buy tomorrow. I have never owned a tractor before, but have rented equipment quite a bit. I am still debating over 2 machines and would appreciate any final advice or guidance from the experts on this site. Thanks for all the help many of you...

I am narrowing down my options and looking closely at the differences between the L3400 and B3030. I know how much more capable the L3400 is over the B3030, but I also know the L3400 is a budget model vs. the luxo B3030. Based on the quotes I have gotten the L3400 works out to be slightly...

Looks like I'll be hitting 50 hours sometime late this week or next. According to the manual, I'll need 7.3 gallons of the Super UDT (I assume it comes in 5 gallon buckets), 6 quarts of engine oil, engine oil filter and hydraulic/transmission filter. Anyone know what all these items might cost?

Hi, I'm waiting for my L2800DT tractor from the dealer to be found. They have to find this tractor from another dealer because they are out of this model. A friend of mine wants me to upgrade to a L3400DT tractor and this tractor I've bought costs me $11,000 with Ind. tires...

Figured I would post an update to my previous posts where I discussed the new L2800 HST 4wd(DT) that had issues pulling 5 or 6 foot RFM. The dealer has found that the problem is deffinitely in the PTO system. All of the checks have proven that the engine is fine and can do anything you ask of it...

A coworker and I were discussing what model John Deere would be a pretty much equivalent to my Kubota L3400 HST DT. Could someone please post your ideas to help us settle this discussion. Thanks,AL

I just got a new L3400 4WD HST. I have a 60 inch brush cutter on it. I depress the clutch and engage the PTO, then release the clutch. When I depress the clutch to disengage the PTO it makes a grinding sound. I think the mower is over running the PTO during it's coast down. To eliminate this I...

First, thanks for all the opinions and information from everybody on the boards; It was a lot of help to me in coming to a decision. After looking at and test driving a lot of tractors, I went with a L3400HST, FEL, and 5' cutter. It was delivered today and I just got back from puttering...

I am going to go with either one of these.I know they have some differences but ther capabillities are about the same.With implements the branson is 600 dollars more.Could the brain trust get me any words of wisdom in helping me make my decison,because right now i can't pull the trigger...

I\'m a tractor owner!! L3400DT My L3400DT w/ FEL arrived at the Bingham dealer in Tucson today. Went down and sat on it after work. Very sweet!! Just waiting on the 60" spiked harrow to arrive at the dealer and everthing will be delivered.

I'd be interested to know people's thoughts about the difference between a B7800 and an L3400HST. I have 13 ac, with 8 open/5 in woods. I will mainly be cutting field and also want to clean out the undergrowth in the woods. I am getting ready to build a house, will have about 250' of driveway...

My L3400 has three positions for the top link on the rear of the transaxle housing which I am not sure how to use. I noticed in the operator's manual that for certain implements they recommend the top or bottom position, etc. Does the upper position allow you to raise an implement higher and a...

Any PTO tiller owners out there? Just wondering how well they perform and what sort of safety mechanisms they have built-in to avoid damage when hitting a root or rock, etc. Also a brand recommendation and expected price range would be helpful.

Any PTO tiller owners out there? Just wondering how well they perform and what sort of safety mechanisms they have built-in to avoid damage when hitting a root or rock, etc.

My first tractor and I spent alot of time on it this weekend. Mostly back filling and spreading 10 yds of 5/8 gravel. It is not as easy as it looks to make a large area level but I think I am getting the hang of it. Tractor seems very smooth. The hydro was great because I mostly was going...

I have ordered a new L2800 and the dealer has been trying to pursuade me over to an in stock L3400 for $1,100.00 more. I am going with standard shift, and 4wd. He was telling me that the L3400 has the 2-stage clutch with a live PTO w/o overrunning clutch. The L2800 is a single stage clutch with...

After 9 hours on my new L3400 (LA463, BH75), I'm discovering just how much work I could have been doing the past 5 years had I taken the plunge sooner. This thing is built like a tank and has proportional power, and still is small enough to be very maneuverable. However, I'm grinding gears...

I have been waiting two months and it finally came in on Thursday. They were finishing assembly on Saturday and asked if I wanted to take a look. I was there in a few minutes. Looks great. R4's , Trac Top Sunshade, 60" box scraper, 9" post hole auger and a Bearcat Chipper. Going to be a long day...

Hello,I am looking at buying the L3400 HST to skid some pine logs 20" by 20'long and some 18" by 17' hardwood logs on 50 acres of resonably level bush.I am not in a huge hurry and want to do as little damage as possible to my lot.Thanks for your input. <font color="red"> </font>

A few days ago I posted a question inquiring on response about the Kioti CK30. I have 10 acres of land and currently have a Ford 8N tractor. I live in Virginia and have hard clay groud. My land is mainly a cut over I want to clear and maintain. I am now interested in the Kioti DK35. It is...

How much more are dealers charging for the HST over the gear? I'm going to guess in the neighborhood of $2k. In any event, does reliability factor in? I've heard various chatter about how the HST models aren't as reliable on this size of tractor, regardless of color. My uses will be grading...

My dealer can't get the L3400HST. They are on hold for delivery due to a PTO problem which I read about on another post. No timetable as of today. He has some B3030's coming in and wants me to consider the 3030 instead of the 3400. I like the size of the 3400 and just not sure about the smaller...

Considering a backhoe purchase. Kubota website and printed brochure seem to differ a bit. Two Kubota hoes listed; BL 75 and BL4690 B; 3 questions relative to those that I would like confirmation on. 1. How do they mount Subframe or 3 point? ( Is either better) 2. Do they use tractor hydraulics...

I ordered one over a month ago. Still nothing and I have not seen any posts from the West with people that have them nor did i see any at the many dealers I visited. Closest wan an Oregon dealer with an L2800 HST and he said he had the only one in the state. Do they ship by wagon train...

Comparing Kubota L3400HST vs NH TC30 4WD HST. Which one is better? Let's hear those opinions!

Is $13948 with 5' brush hog and 6' rear blade a good price?

Dropped by my local dealer today and got the following quote: L3400DT R-1 12,395 LA463 3,690 BH75 6,100 Tax of 1,394 gives 23,579. There's another Kubota dealer (with a great reputation) about 45 minutes away who has beaten this guy pretty handily on some...

Okay everyone! Here is my narrowed done list: Branson 3510 Sync, Mahindra 3510 Sync and Kubota L3400DT. Let the opinions and expertises fly and don't hold back!! Thanx in advance, Bob

Am I missing something? The L3400hst seems more powerful and is $3000 less in My area. I have 20 acres, 15 are fields, and need mostly for bushhog and 2 or 3 acres of tiller work. This is the new L3400 with Hst transmission. Tried both, not that much difference as I can tell, as I am new to...

I was about to go for the CK30HST when my Kubota dealer told me about the 2005 HST on the L2800DT and the L3400DT. The specs are really close on these 3. Has any one here had a chance to try out the L3400HST yet?

What is your opinion between the NH TC30 and the Kubota L3400 ( 4WD, FEL)? How about price? Any other suggestions for the 30-35HP, 4WD, FEL setup??

I bought a Kubota L3400 4wd dt w/bucket. I traded in my 140 Farmall. I really liked the Farmall much better.

I started this new thread as suggested, in order to get more hits. Hi everybody. I have a L3400 (4wd), FEL, box, hog. I've got 48 acres that go from one valley, over the top of the mountain, and to the next valley, with my house sitting on top. I've got lots of flat area, but a lot of slopes...

Hello everyone. I've been lurking on TBN for quite awhile and gained a lot of valuable info from you guys. I purchased an L3400 with a LA463 FEL last spring and I would like to mount a hitch on top of the bucket to move my trailers around for cleanup and mowing. My question is that I want to...

I am considering purchasing a L3400 4wd with a 463FEL with ag tires. My local dealing quoted me a price of $14,900 for the package. Does this sound like a decent deal? I am also going to quote out a toothbar and box blade. Does anyone know what would be a good price on these? Has everyone had...

A dealer told me yesterday that the rumor is the basic Ls will have a hydro option next year They're substantially heavier and larger than the B series, yet noticeable smaller than Grand Ls. I sat on one the other day and was wishing it had a few more features as well as hydro. Not sure about...

Well, I have had my L3400DT for almost a month now, so I thought that I've had it long enough to write a review. I purchased this tractor to use as a primary utility tractor on our farm. I also purchased a 60” Woods mower with this tractor to mow most of my yard as well as the pastures and...

I couldn't help posting this picture of my son's new love. We have other tractors on the farm, but he has a personal attraction to the orange. I'm now generating a list of ad-ons I want/need for this tractor. I'm looking at a grill guard, weights, FEL, rear blade, and some other goodies...

I have a friend that is looking at a L3400 and has some questions that I haven't been able to answer. I want to know if these things are available from the dealer as factory. Can you get telescopic end links? Can you get a folding ROPS? What is the seat like? Is it a suspension seat? On the...

New to Many Things. Any comments about the following quote: Kubota L3400dt (4wd) tractor Kubota Loader Rhino SE5 shredder Armstrong Ag 5 ft box blade Falcon 18 ft trailer w/ elec. brakes/ ramps Price $17,400 Comments about L3400 vs 3010

Members, Im new to the Tractor market. Due to Budget constraints. Im looking for the "Most bang for the Buck" type machine. I have approx 1500 ft of driveway to maintain. Always need to move dirt somewhere, Plus, 20+ Acres of woods,roads and trails to maintain. 1st dearler suggested the L2800...

Well, here's my new toy. Of course don't let my wife know that. As far as she knows this is a serious piece of equipment, absolutely necessary for moving snow, loam and big rocks!!! It looks so good I have moved my car out of the barn and for now am parking the tractor inside. The camry is...

Is it just the glide transmission that differs? Is that really worth the $3,000 difference my dealer quoted? was the DT quote NOT a 4wd, or something?

I appreciate all the information provided on this site from experienced users. We purchased 10 acres in central Fl, a year ago. It had planted pines, which 9 acres were cleared last June. The stumps are starting to rot and crack and I need to get them out when they are weak enough. The land will...

I've been weighing the B7800 vs. L3400 question and am leaning toward more power for the money--trading off the HST. We plan to use this tractor primarily to maintain a road at a rural mountain property and to do field mowing and other miscellaneous projects at altitude (8000 feet). The...

Have looked at this tractor for use on small farm of 34 acres. Currently have older JD. Is the Kubota L3400DT a good option? Any Virginia dealer recommended?

My new L3400 arrived yesterday afternoon. WOW what a tractor!!! I've had an old Bolens g152 for many years and was impressed with this new machine. Twice the size and power. I only had time to ride around in the yard and woods when I brought it home. Only has half hour so far. Any ideas as to...

I thought I wanted a mf 1428v to replace my bolens g152. I then saw the L3400 on the lot for the same price. I took it for a test drive and liked the tractor very much. A whole lot more comfortable than the mf tractor. Tons of power. The price with folding ROPS is $10900. Is it a good deal? I...
