L39 Backhoe problems

This attachment does not work for me.

To clarify: I have 3 remote valves located on the top of the right fender.
They were probably dealer installed.

Here you go....

nice. Thank for taking the time to spoon feed a newbie

Did your tractor come with all the parts and pieces for the tree point hitch?
Mine did,..... but apparently they sometimes get lost in the shuffle.
You should check with the seller if they did not.

That is a much newer machine, but same concept.

No Mine did not. Also to note. I paid 800 for the 3 point and drawbar kit. And disappointingly it has the turn buckle sway bars, ugh. One would think that the telescoping bars would be automatic when purchasing new. Shouldn't turn buckles be obsolete?

The L39 was first built in 2005.
I would not expect Kubota to change the original 3pt. hitch design, unless there was a defect.
It has worked on the original design L39 for 15 years, so why change it?
I suspect that is their philosophy.

Maybe I am just crossing things up. I saw Neil at Messicks this morning on youtube showing off Kubotas telescoping sway bar. It wasn't an L39 of course, I just assumed That they had switched to that on all their tractors.

If Kubota had switched to the telescoping bars for L39 replacement parts, they would obviously be more complex parts to produce.
Might then cost $1,400 instead of $800?
