Used L3400 question

[artho45]

I am looking at a 2007 L3400. I have a couple of questions. It has a loader, but does not have the quick attach, can this be added now? any idea how much this would cost. I need to have a grapple fork. Growing up we always had loaders with a bucket and a grapple fork. can I put a fork on the bucket that is with the loader. I know that I would have to install the extra remote which I think I could do after watching a video on here that someone posted.
This tractor has 1200 hours on it. Anything that I should be especially looking for on this age a hour of tractor?

thanks,
Art

On a tractor of this age I suggest clamp-on bucket Debris Forks or clamp-on bucket UltraForks in 24" length.

The mods you are considering may cost as much as you are likely to pay for this tractor.

HIGHEST QUALITY FORKS: Tractor Debris Forks

ULTRAFORKS: Multi-Spear Ultra Fork

Inside stored or outside stored? Outside stored always possible rodents have chewed the wiring.

Look for oil and hydraulic fluid leaks.

Check the loader carefully to be sure it is not "tweaked".

Check the tires, especially rear tires, for condition. Rear tires are expensive.

Plan on changing all the fluids and all the filters immediately after you purchase.

They're asking $8000 for the tractor. would the third remote, conversion to SSQA and a grapple cost that much? Is the tractor priced to high. It's really hard to find a good quality used tractor of that size in my area.

Complete your T-B-N PROFILE by adding your location, such as: Central Idaho, Texas Panhandle, Upstate New York,
UP Michigan, North-Central Florida.

Tractor prices are regional.

update my profile.

Since central Nebraska is a very agricultural state, there does not seem to be many CUT tractors available in my area. I am willing to travel to get something that would fit me needs.

Which engine?

What transmission?

2-WD or 4-WD?


The contemporary Kubota model equivalent to the L3400 is the Model L3301. With Loader, HST, 4-WD about $23,000 today.

$8,000 as above, with a Loader, is a good price. Go for it.

The PTO on the HST is a bit fragile. People with rototillers have had failures. My 2005 is used for mowing and snow blowing with no problems. There was an upgrade on the PTO cams around 2007 I think. The PTO cable is a weak spot. I changed mine at 420 hours. Easy to do. There is also a suction hose on the left side just under the floor board that has been known to split. Mine is still OK at 590 hours but I have a spare in my parts bin.

This tractor has been very good and almost trouble free for me. The PTO cable is the only issue I have had.
