I just spent a couple hours yesterday with a box blade on my L3800 and the jerky hitch was not a problem at all.
...meaning that is was jerky but it wasn't a problem with what you were doing... Or that do not you have a jerky hitch straight from the dealer???

Well lets be truthful here. The valves were not "way out of adjustment". This implies that who ever installed them is an idiot who does not bother to look at his work. These valves are out of adjustment, not enough to notice with the naked eye (I am talking about the actual valve now, not the jerkyness). I know how much they are out of adjustment because I have adjusted one of them. Can anyone else say that? Not trying to be an a** here, but I make my living with these tractors, and I do not care if people speak the truth, but don't "skew" it too much. They have a problem with the valve adjustment that can be fixed. Simple enough.

Mine is jerky only when raising the 3ph Very Slowly. It has not been a problem for me in actual use.
How about a quick run down on how it can be adjusted. First, where is this valve? I'd just as soon fix it myself. Thanks!

All this talk of actually fixing these has made me call another Kubota dealer about 1 hour drive away,
I originally brought this to the attention of my selling dealer, and they are in denial.
This service manager was very nice, and assured me they will research this and get back to me. I would have to of course pay to have the tractor transported to and from. Which I would gladly do to get this fixed. We shall see if he calls back with any information or offer to repair this while I am still under warranty.

The whole point of this is *IF* kubota would just say that yea, it's a problem but you have to pay XXX amount to upgrade or have us adjust the valve to make it work correctly... how much would you be willing to pay... let us know what you find out :thumbsup:

I guess you have to think about it like this..... If you hadn't been skimming the internet and found all these threads on the "valve" issue, would you have noticed something wasn't right with the 3pt hitch when using it on the 3200/3800's.. I can honestly say I noticed it right away when it was brought home. That problem drove me to the internet to investigate and then brought me to this forum. When "economy" is brought up for the reason, I'd simply ask why the yanmar refurbs don't have the problem.

I was told it's inside the hydro assembly above the rearend. I noticed a new gasket was installed on my tractor, so I know they went inside to adjust.
I wouldn't mind spending $350 or so to upgrade. Probably not $500.
It's not much of a problem until I use my PHD or boom type extension. It makes the PHD nearly un-usable unless you really watch it.
It's almost a non-factor when using a B.B. or such.
