3-Point Hitch L-series Jerky 3PH - Jeff's homebrew repair.

[k0ua]

I take it that there are no B's that are large enough? How about a GL? If not the only option left would be to cancel the deal.

If it were me, I wouldn't even consider keeping the 3200 if the hitch was jerky. As I have stated before, the only fix I know of is to stay away from the standard Kubotas and buy a Grand, or change brands.

Does your dealer sell anything else?

He is going to run smack into the wall of the Grand L's are so much more money. The B 3350 is close, just a bit lighter, but the 3pt is quarter inching, NO position control.

When I found myself in a similar position, I ended up going to a L3240GST that had been on the lot for a year. I did need to fork over an additional $1800.

Still waiting to hear from the dealer. He's checking what he can substitute for me. I'll check out the B3350, but if it's lighter I don't want it. What's quarter inching. no position control? How much more will the grand L be at a good price from him?

How does the L3240GST compare to the L3200?

If he could find a 3240 or 3540 left over (unlikely now) that would be a great deal.

A much more refined machine. Will have a smooth hitch, and many more features like telescoping lower links and stabilizers. You have to decide if the GST is the transmission for you. It is a very refined and deluxe hydraulically controlled standard transmission.

The L3240 will also weigh quite a bit more than the L3200

You can compare costs on the build it yourself site.
In my case the L3240GST was on the lot. Had it been a gear transmission instead of a glide shift the cost difference would have been more like $800.
A L3240 is a lot more tractor than a L3200. The frame size is close to, or the same as a L4400. It's a nice tractor.

I found mine a little underpowered, but I'm located at 3000ft. You loose more HP than you think at that elevation.

I'll ask about the L3240. That sounds way better than the L3200. thanks. Still waiting for the call.!

Well after using the l3800 a little I'm not even noticing any jerky . So I guess I got a good one .
