'addressed the jerky issue'

Yea, would like to know what exactly does this mean, too...

What jerky issue? Granted, I have only had my Brush Bull on it, but I haven't noticed a "jerky issue". The only problem I've noticed is that the fwd/rev pedal has to be right in the middle for the thing to start. Once you figure that out it isn't a problem.

The Jerky issue is if you try to move the 3pt lift up smoothly slowly, it will not do so. At least mine wont, you can move the lift down, slowly and smoothly all you want, to "feather" the position, but you cannot move it up slowly to get to a particular position, it will be a sequence of "jerks". If you move the control in one rapid/moderate up, motion of your hand it will just jerk once at the end of the 3 point travel motion. What I do is just raise it up past where I want it to be, then "feather" it down to the exact position where I want it. I hope this makes some sense. it is kinda hard to describe this, but easy to see in action. If you lower the hydraulic pressure/flow rate (?) to the 3pt, by operating the lift of the front end loader at the same time as you try to raise the 3pt, the problem is solved it will raise smoothly and slowly without jerking.

Well, I haven't noticed anything like you describe with my L3700, but I guess I haven't been looking for it. I will play with it before I take the Brush Bull off for the winter.

I haven't had any problem with my L3700 3pt. And as for the L3800 they are
both on the Kubota web site. And if you look at the specifications they show the L3700SUHST tops the L3800HST in several area's. Even with the new loader & backhoe. Kenney

k3nn3y, what areas are you referring to? I'm not spotting them on the spec sheets.

Checked the dealer's lot yesterday, no sign of either a 3200 or 3800 yet.

priced and bought the tractor and loader only for 19,000....haven't decided on the implements yet due to the fact we have never owned a tractor before. We would hire the work in the past (brush cutting and road maintenance) and decided to look into getting our own. we will have it delivered on monday so wish us luck!:thumbsup:
