kubota l3430

Warning - I am not necessarily in a hurry to do/attempt this repair so this may take a while. I noticed a drip coming from the tractor and determined that it was diesel. Further inspection led me to the injector nozzle area as the source. Sprayed each nozzle down with brake parts cleaner and...

Last year you guys led me through diagnosing my AC issue as far as I could go and I ended up taking it to the local Kubota dealer. Bad compressor was the diagnosis and they quoted $2300 to make it cool like new. Can't spent that much on it. I have looked at new aftermarket compressor and found...

Hello, I need the p/n for Kubota L3130/L3430 break light switch. Please see the attached picture. Thank you

This is a well maintained 2004 L3430 HSTC with 1005 hours on it. The screens are clean and the freon is good. Before I start trying to trace wires tomorrow I wanted to ask if there is a relay in the AC circuit that may have died. Over the years since 2016 when I bought it I have had an...

I have a 2005 Kubota L3430 I’m picking up this week but prefer to run turf tires or R4’s and not the R1’s that are on it. The tractor has only 660 hours so tires are in incredible condition. Located in Marquette, Michigan. My pics are too big to upload. Thx.

Would anybody be interested in swapping L3430 AG tires for turf tires. My ag tires have 660 hours on them and are impeccable. I’m just buying this tractor this week and the deal was too good to pass up but I could really use turf tires instead of AG’s. Can send pics. Located in Upper Michigan...

Dear Forum, I am not sure how to describe it.. Steering feels like it's not 100% responsive, as if when I turn the wheel it feels catchup here and there, like skipping a tooth. The steering is not "hard", just isn't smooth anymore. Any keywords on what I should search this forum for, or any...

Hi Forum, A while ago, I got a 57″ Standard Ditch Bank Flail Mower, FH-AGL145 Via asking this forum and digging through to documentation, I determined that I need a 4-way hydrolic control. I was advised to contact my dealer , but unfortunately our local dealer(Winchester Equipment) never...

Help me out, Kubota gurus; Bought a block heater for my 2003 L3430 GST, but I guess I got the wrong one. Part I got is 70000-73595. It is the type that pushes in with O ring seal. Instructions say to instal on front of cyl. head, but not possible because water pump is in the way. I knocked out...

I'm doing the 800 hour transmission service on my 2006 L3430 HST and the manual that came with it shows 4 drain plugs. One on each brake housing, one at the differential and one further forward. I have taken the first 3 out and drained that fluid. There is no regular drain plug further forward...

So the other day I was was driving down the hill in 2wd with a bucket full of stone, tractor started to slide, and in panic I slammed down the 4x4 lever (which didn't work yet produced that unhappy gear sound, I eventually stopped by dropping a bucket) At the bottom of the hill I...

28.5 PTO hp. Would prefer a 6'over a 5' so it would cut out the wheels.

I have a L3430 and the Farm King 740 3 point snow blower, it works great -- But gets old looking backwards all the time. Does anyone know of a system that can be put on the tractor to remount the blower to the front???

Searched google and the forum but didn't come up with anything. I use my L3430 to snowblow our 1/4 mile drive. Went out today for the first session of the winter and all the blown snow just kept gathering on the rear window. Ended up having to run with the rear window open and up to see what I...

I was thinking a back hoe attachment would be a handy thing to have. I was wondering what options there are for the Kubota L3430. I know Woods makes some affordable units. A Kubota one would cost more than a new tractor. I was thinking it would be good for making a trench for utilities leading...

I am in the process of buying a used Kubot L3430 with around 2100 hrs on it. The owner says he never changed the transmission fluid in it. The manual says to change every 400 hrs and I am wondering if it needs to be changed. This is about a $200 process to do. It takes 11gal of Super UDT. Which...

I'm replacing my front, cab mounted work lights with LEDs and plan to mount 2 of the same on the rear of the cab. There aren't any work lights on the rear now, only the orange flashers. The tractor is currently nit here for me to look at so I have a few questions. This is for a 2004 L3430 HSTC...

I am selling my tractor, a Kubota L3430 Grand Cab, with the LA 723 Loader. A prospective purchaser, is concerned whether the tractor/loader is capable enough to handle big bales of hay, 5.5' by 6'. It has the quick attach, so he would use that type of spear, rather than one that extends the...

Very difficult job? Anything specific to watch out for?

Hey guys. I'm wanting to buy me a loader for my 2003 kubota l3430 hstc. From research it seems like I need the la723 loader. I would buy a woods if I can get a package that works with my cab. Where should I start on looking for a compatible loader for my tractor with the cab given that it's a 14...

I recently purchased a 2004 Kubota L3430D that starts and runs great, bucket and 3 pt work excellent however the hydrostat just limps along with very little power. Here is the back story. This tractor was previously owned by an older (relatively speaking) couple, They told me one of the hydro...

Yesterday I changed the engine oil and filter in my newly acquired L3430HSTC and went by the oil capacity as listed in the owners manual....6 quarts. After starting and letting it idle for 10 minutes or so I pulled the dipstick and the level was about 1 quart too full. I started it again and ran...

Ok guys, I'm considering my first Kubota and I've found a 2007 L3430 HST 4WD with cab. It has 1200 hours on it and supposedly only used for running a finish mower. Brand new rear Ag tires and front are 80% or better. According to the seller, everything works as it should. In the pics the tractor...

Was working on a hill and the pedal didn't fully release from one of the backhoe stops. Initially I thought I had a problem with the lever, but that doesn't seem to be the case (I've had a case of "overpushing" in the past) Quick google didn't turn up anything, and didn't really have yet time to...

Just recently I replaced the clutch on one of my L3430 tractors and upon reassembling the unit we found it hard and almost impossible to put it into revers. Is there something we did wrong upon reassembling? It went into reverse yesterday and that was all it did (it wouldn't go forward) after we...

Shortly after doing the 700 hour tractor maintenance, I noticed a minor but annoying oil leak at the wheel pivot point on the left front gear case. The tractor had recently been used for extended periods during hot weather. The exhaust is also on that side which just increases the temperature...

2004 Kubota L3430 HSTC Tractor w/ Cab, Loader and 60" Snowblower Attachment price? Saw tractor going to auction and curious what it would be worth in a guesstimate, has 2090 hr, front snowblower, it does have all turf tires which I would take off and switch to r4's, more money!

Tractor been sitting for about a month. Today I start it off, try to move, it moves a bit, than something clicks, it loses power and stops. If I keep on pressing the pedal, it shuts off. If I release the pedal, RPMs go back to normal. Same behavior no matter what RPMs I set at, or what speed I...

So been looking at tractors for a while, and rented a few to get some of the big projects done (mini ex and a Cat D4K dozer), but finally found a little Kubota for ranch maitnance and do some more little clearing project around the property. Anyways, found a L3430 HST with a Woods 1016 loader...

How much do those roughly cost? Are they (mostly) only available from dealer? Are they easy to put on/off? The reason I don't necessarily want to fill the tires is that w/o the backhoe I have a chance of being able to tow this tractor with my Tacoma (6400lb) The tractor without the backhoe is...

Later today I think I am going to pull the trigger on my first tractor. Found a 3430 HST with a 723 loader, 72" bucket, forks, and back blade for 11k. The tractor is in near new shape with ~400 hours. Am I doing ok at that price? My reservations: No quick attach bucket Turf tires The...

Hello Forum. I am absolutely new to tractors. I've recently purchased a slightly used (550h) 2008 Kubota L3430 HST with BH9000 Backhoe and a 72" FEL (and a meyers snow plow) to maintain a property on a relatively steep bank of a river. We unloaded the tractor at the bottom of the hill, as it...

At work we have a L3430 Kubota tractor. A few months back the tractor was struggling with RPM, the RPM would be steady to wherever I would set them then they would drop to almost zero then recover. Occasionally the tractor would stall all the way out. This occurred in L, M, and H. We sent...

Can I remove the old ones from inside the cab or does the roof have to come off?

No error lights, gear only shows 9 or 10th. Speed will not go over 4.7mph with 1200 rpm. There is no speed.

I'm considering the purchase of a L3439HST w/ loader. My question is, not having had a Kubota before, is this a model that is worth having or might it be one to stay away from? Every mfr comes up with a model now and then that shouldn't have been introduced, unproven new features, etc., that...

I haven't been on the board for awhile, but I thought I'd pass along what happened to my 3430. While plowing snow last winter the tractor lost power and stalled out due to a lack of fuel. Since it was pretty cold I assumed the fuel had jelled so I added anti-gel, blew the line out and it seemed...

I bought a used L3430 GST with Woods 1012 loader about 2 weeks ago. It's in pretty good shape at 120 hours.

I am thinking of getting a bh for my l3430. I went and looked at the bh75 and bh90 (i think they are the modesl, basically a 7.5 ft or 9 ft) Of course I want the bigger one, the price difference is not a concern. What concerns me is the size. The 9 ft seems almost too much for the tractor...

Do all L-3430's come with a mid PTO? If not what is the cost to add it? Does it interfere with use of the rear PTO? How would a L3430 cab with a 72" MMM raise & lower the mower deck? Is it hydraulic? Would you disconnect the loader & use the loader hydraulics to raise/lower it? Thanks

$8200 for a L3430HSTC with loader? Anyone know this user? It is listed in the classifeds on here. Is he a member here. I am not sure about the price on these Kubota's but this sounds low. Bill

We are looking for another piece of tractor jewelry. The gem needed is a brush hog. Does anyone have any "gems" of wisdom in choosing one? We are looking at a 5 foot hog and have inspected the King Kutter, Woods (sold by the Kubota dealer), Rhino, Frontier, and miscellaneous others in the catalogs.

Does anyone know anything about the old DuAl backhoes and if they will fit an L3430? I read that Woods bought out DuAl. Are the DuAls from the early 90's? What woudl be a good price for good used unit? $1000 - $1500? Thanks.

Can anyone tell me if there is a difference between the engines in a L3130 And a L3430? I have a L3130 and was wondering if all the factory does is turn up the fuel to get the extra 3hp out of it to make it a L3430.

I am restoring a 3PH cement mixer to use mounted to my L3430. How do I keep the tractor from shutting down when I get up from the seat when the PTO is engaged? I am sure it must shut down as a safety procedure, but I don't think there is too much threat from a cement mixer, and I need to be on...

Does anyone know what oil filter fits the L3430? I'm too far from the dealer and want to change the oil this weekend. Fram, wix, NAPA?

Hello all, Can someone verify my semi-educated guess that the Green marked hose going into the loader valve is the power beyond? The tractor and loader manuals do not positively identify it. I am in the process of hooking up the hydraulic hoses on my brand new Woods BH90-X backhoe and don't...

Winter is finally over but I just want to say that my L3430 worked better than I ever expected! Boy am I glad I got rid of my old rear mount blower with no heat.

Hello, I have a L3430 with the 513 loader. Kubota does not make a subframe mount that will work with this loader. A local company sells Bush Hog and the bh750 with a subframe mount will work with my loader. Is this the right size backhoe for my tractor? Also, how hard is it to get on and...

Hello everyone..... For some time I have been reading the posts regarding the best choice of backhoes for the Grand L's, the L3430 in particular. The Woods BH90-X seems to be the most popular choice.

Today I pulled the Kubota out of the shop and went to move one log that has been bothering me for months, that I keep forgetting to move.

I thought maybe someone could answer this question, I went to put my new fuel filter on my L3430 and it doesn't fit snug on the pipe you slide it up on like the old one does. I thought at first it could be an o-ring was missing, but neither one has a o-ring on it. There does appear to be one on...

Just bought a new L3430 HST. After about 15 hrs of bush-hogging thistle-filled pastures with a SQ84T, the HST shifter is in the M position and the dash indicator says L. I can move the shifter from M to N to H, and the indicator on the dash says L-N-M. It runs just fine in L, since that's...

Hello folks, Thanks in advance for any thoughts on the following ... Dealer has a HST L3130 on the lot I could purchase right now. Or I could order a GST L3430 which may take a while to get. My thought is if I order I'll get the increased HP the L3430 has to offer with the GST ... the GST...

I'm going to do (try) the 50 hour service this weekend on my 3430. Can anyone offer any tips in advance? Are the drain plugs for the transmission all hex heads? I see a plug underneath that has an allen wrench head and another with a pin in it that moves up and down? Don't want to screw this up...

Hi TBN, I finally got around to shooting some photos of my new Kubota L3430 HSTC. Thanks to all the posters who directly and indirectly guided me to decide on this tractor. I'm sure I made the right choice. Don't mind the photo of my wife's Kubota ZG23, I just didn't want the Zero Turn to...

If I am correct this is the same size tractor just a little more hp from the 3430? For those that have run both is there a noticeable difference? If you drove/ran them back to back would you be able to tell? Or is the hp only noticeable at the PTO? Does the added hp of the 3430 justify the extra...

What are the big differances in the two models and is the L3400 that much less of a tractor?

I'm looking for one tractor to: 1) finish cut grass 2) brush hog about 15 acres 3 times a year 3) Get into woods to make wood 4) Work up small areas (1 acre or less) for wildlife food plots. I think I've narrowed my search down to the TC33DA or L3430. I've priced both machines with the same...

I just bought a L3430HSTC and did not opt for the radio or the cd player option because I thought it was to high. Oh and by the way I LOVE THIS TRACTOR!!! Any body installed a regular radio or cd player n the factory cab? I figure you will have to remore the roof and I figured the wiring...

I was wondering if anyone else had noticed their 3 point kind of pulsating or raising a fraction of an inch every minute or so with an implement raised on the back. I can see it move a little when it does it. It's not really a problem just wondering if it's normal, doesn't seem like it should...

Anyone have any recent pricing on a L3430 HST with LA723 FEL, w quick release bucket & 5' bushhog? Thanks

This is my first post but I have been lurking for awhile, after reading alot of post's and doing some studying I finally settled on this tractor. It's certainly a big improvement over the old L2050 ! Hope it doesn't rut up the yard to bad when cutting grass, the old L2050 had ag tires on it and...

I have a L3430 with a 723 loader and QA. I would like to get a dozer blade for it. I have seen some for Bobcat's and wonder if the L3430 would handle a 78" or 80" dozer. Any info would be a great help... I think that I may be expecting too much out of it for the HP/weight that my Kubota has...

I finally took delivery of my new L3430 and LA723. After 3 years on my B7500, this thing is a whole other world. I just towed my 5000lb camper up a small incline on my lawn and it felt like the tractor wasn't even being tested. First question (of many) - I towed 5000lbs in medium range at 2000...

72\" MMM for L3430HST It seems to me that I've read somewhere in this forum that the 72"MMM for the Kubota L3430HST is not compatible with R4 industrial tires. Apparently, they rub against the deck while turning. Does anyone know this to be true? I'd appreciate any deails on the subject. Thanks.

My L3430HSTC / LA723FEL steering stutters, jerks, does not turn smoothly under weight of bucket full with wet modified (stone & dirt). All is well with 2/3's or less bucket material. Problem occurs as tractor is near stopped, loader stopped and wheels need to go from lock left to lock right or...

Looking at these 2 tractors, anyone have an opinion on pro's and con's of each.

I am thinking about a Curtis Soft Cab for my Kubota. How long to install and remove? I need to get under trees and indoors so I didn't get the factory cab. But this long and cold Michigan winter I have froze my rear off! I did buy a windbreak at TSC but guess what, it has been too cold for me...

I have a L3430HST that I am thinking about getting rid of to get a bigger peice of equipment. The machine is almost brand new less than a month old and has about 20 hours on it. It has the LA723 and soft-sided Curtis Cab which is also heated. The tractor is in like new condition no...

Well here is the new L3430 with its Curtis Cab. The tractor now has strobes & work lights on it will get some more pictures of those so I can post them so you guys can see a new idea I had for mounting the strobes. Well look forward to working with you guys on a few projects I have planned for...

I am in the research stage and it appears that you can not get a 3430HST with factory cab and BH90 backhoe. Anyone have a factory cab Kubota and a hoe on the 3430 or 3830? Checking archives I have found a larger Grand L with a Woods hoe (apparently 3ph) that uses an extension. For those that...

I am looking at a used 2004 Kubota Grand L 3430 4x4. It has R4 Industrial tires, a 60" Woods front-end loader, a 6 foot "bush Hog" box scraper with fold-up teeth. It has 277 hours on it and is in great shape. Asking Price is $17,500. Does anyone have experience with this model? Is this a...

Does anyone know much about the L30 series quick hitch system? I am thinking about buying a L3430 tractor with a snowblower and I am wondering how difficult it is to install the quick hitch system for the snowblower? The quick hitch appears to be very big and heavy. The snowblower is real big...

About a year ago, I bought a "Piranha" root rake/grapple to clear up my 10 acres of woodlot. Using the rear remote hydraulics to power the grapple worked, but it was really aggravating to have to release the joystick, reach back and down to operate the grapple, reach back to the joystick, etc...

I have 10 acres (small horse farm) with pond and several paddocks. Will be snowblowing with rear blower long driveways and bushhogging paddocks. Will also need to periodically move round bales (up to 1000lbs each). Manure removal and spreading, etc. Which tractor would everybody recommend...

Today it was supposed to be humid with the possibility of rain here in southern Minnesota. I thought it would be a good day to park my Kubota F2260 Front Mower and hook up my Walco Douglas 90" 3pt mower to my Kubota L3430 HSTC and enjoy air conditioned comfort as the mowed my 5 acres. I took...

I'm looking at buying a new Grand L with cab. The 4330 may be a little heavy on the budget so I was looking at a L3430HSTC. What I need to know is if a 3430 will safely carry and run a Bush Hog SQ84. That's the heaviest attachment I have. Paperwork says 25-50 hp, weight 720 lbs. Any ideas? Thanks.

I would like to purchase a hydraulic top link but I'm unsure of the length I need. The L3430 is purchased but will not be delivered until late March (my choice) and the dealer is some distance away. I would much appreciate a measurement of the range of length (shortest and longest) of the...

Im looking at a L3430 Hst cab A723 with R-4's How much more would it be to upgrade to a L4330 hst cab with the bigger loader and r-4's?? thanks

I have some questions about a new L3430. I am looking at one with the Grand Cab,4x4,Hst.723FEL. with Landscape tires. Can you have down pressure with the 3-pt hitch? What is the design life of this tractor?? (How many hours) What would a good OTD price be for this model? Thanks

I'm new here and really enjoy all the info. I just purchased a new L3430 with BH90 with a UAT thumb, LA723 fel, with 2000# forks. It gets here on wednesday, I cant wait, although I've waited 4 years for this big investment, I am totally impressed with this machine! I have a 2 acre lot that needs...

I posted the following in the General Buying/Pricing forum. I would appreciate any input from TC35D users or dealers. TC35D/L3430/4410 Loader Cycle Times ??? Thank You.

I have a question about loader cycle time. I'm not sure if I'm using the right phrase but I'm referring to the time it takes to lift the loader to full height, dump the bucket, curl the bucket back and then lower the loader back to the ground. This process being the cycle and the time it takes...

I just traded a four year old L3410 HST for a L3430 HST. Why? Because I could and the 0% just made it too good a deal to pass up. Seriously, I wanted the extendable 3 point arms and the QT bucket on the loader as the older I get the harder it was getting to change implements and swap the loader...

My new 3430 hst is here and I didn't have time to read owners manual so here is something I thought was odd when I turn the right turn signal on the left side turn signal lights up solid and right one blinks, turn on left and the right side lights up solid and left blinks, is this normal ? The...

After searching for months between the orange , blue and green brands went to dealer to order 3130 gst. I test drove the gst, first one I could find to test drive, almost signed the papers and tried the HST out one last time and went for it but the only one he had was a 3430 , but the deal...

On Friday, my new L3430 arrived! Over the weekend I put 12 hours cutting my pasture. The machine worked great. I am glad I went with the HST. Late Saturday evening, I decided to attached the BH90 hoe. First time took about 45 min to remove the 3point and make minor boom adjustments to place...

Hey All, I've been lurking here for a few weeks now and just love this site. Lots of great information for first-time tractor buyers like myself. I recently purchased a 40-acre farm that is mostly old, not well cared for pasture. Lots of thorn trees sprouting up and many that have turned into...

I've never done a picture posting so I have a few to attempt here. Went to visit my dealer today to finally see my new baby <font color=orange>Bota</font color=orange> with my own eyes. The loader is not attatched yet but will be as soon as the remote joystick comes in. Pics are of tractor, cab...

Can\'t wait - Kubota L3430 w/ Cab almost mine I must be nuts, or atleast my wife is starting to think so. Tonight I told her I had a dream last night about the new Kubota coming. After she looked at me funny I quickly replied that she was driving the Kubota and asked me if I wanted a ride...

I am rookie who needs help fast on a buying decision. Looking to purchase the new Kubota L3430 vs the NH TC35D. Not sure which one I want. I like the Grand Cab Option on the Kubota and the Supersteer option on the NH. The apples to apples comparison(incl NH with Supersteer and no cab) on these...
