New L3301 seems to have a smooth 3pt

[Fallon]

Local Deere dealer had an expo going at the local fairgrounds & had a few Kubotas there as well, including a L3301.

Couple trivial cosmetic changes compared to my L3200. 2 regen related buttons, lights & hazards are now 1 switch module. Throttle is now a vertical lever instead of a rotating lever. Saw some hard piping on the loader main pivot that I believe is rubber on mine. Fuel filter is a bit further back & looks taller.

It seemed to be a bit quieter than mine. Most importantly the 3pt hitch with a ballast box on it was pretty smooth. A LOT smoother than mine and almost as nice as the cabbed Deeres I test drove.

Could just have been a good unit or they might have finally rengineered things to fix the problem.

Sounds good Fallon, maybe they finally got it fixed.

From the conversation I had with the regional service rep, they made some 3 point changes with the new models. Nothing retroactive, unfortunately.. he's familiar with the older models, was the service manager at my local dealer for a while.
