These machines share the same 3 pt. position control valve at end stages in their production as the L2800 and L3400... which has had a major position control performance flaw.
The L2900, L3000 and L3010 also have in common with each other, their three point lowering speed valve. The L2800 and L3400 have a very similar but simpler version. The two share parts and it may be found they are interchangeable. Switching may improve performance. In the L2800 and L3400, adjusting this valve has been reported to improve lift performance for a few.
Previous attempts to upgrade older L3400 and L2800's to the same 3 pt control valve have produced acceptable but not great results. Recent attempts appear to have produced poor results.
I, and likely other L3400 and L2800 owners would like to hear from L2900, L3000 and L3010 owners about how their hitch performance compares to the videos posted below. Your valuable comments may help determine if the control valve alone is responsible for the L3400 and L2800's performance or if other components in the system, such as the three point lowering speed control valve are worth investigating.
Thanks for your help!
