I just bought a L2800HST with 430hrs on it but I can't find what year it is... Is there a sticker somewhere on these things with year on it. It looks new, great shape, estimating a 2005 to 2007. The guy I bought it from moved and I actually never met him, just spoke on the phone to work the deal and he was not sure what year it is, he couldn't remember when he bought it exactly..
What Year is It???

There are some old threads on this and you can get the serial number and a dealer can probably tell you, but it really isn't that important like it is with cars/trucks.

Yeah not real important I know, I am just the curious type and wondering what year this thing is...
Great site, thanks for the link.. The PO is suppose to be sending me all the maintenance manuals and associated paperwork in the mail. There maybe something there that tells the year, I was just curious..
Nice site and specs sheet..

BTW:If your hydrolics(loader,etc) ever get slow:check your lower return hose.Also good idea on that model to have an extra sight glass around.
Won't go into the infamous jerky 3 pt hitch issues I'd like for you to get a good nites sleep.
maybe do a search on it.I have its twin with an enlarged heart the L3400DT(gear).
Luv it BTW !

Please elaborate on the lower return hose, check it for what, plugged up, leak etc..?????
I assume on the sight glass you mean that it is in a bad location and can be knocked off easily???
I haven't got the manuals for this thing yet and don't know much about maintenance, or trouble issues..
Already know about the 3pt jerky issue, and yes I am stricken with it.. Mine jumps up and down when trying to raise something slowly. At fast raise it works fairly smooth so that is what I try to do each time so far. I haven't had anything on back but a PRD7200 finish mower though..
First of all, there is a major oil change at 400 hours, can you talk to the previous owner to see if that was done? You are planning to get the manuals? They do a good job explaining how to do the maintenance. Only thing I don't like in the maintenance schedule, kubota doesn't list hours to replace thing... on the far right side they say replace yearly or something. Find out what the previous own has changed.
The return hose from '04 to early '06 didn't last long, they would crack and allow air to be sucked in. If the power steering or loader acts funny or slows down... that's usually the problem. My guess is that has been taken care of. That's the curved 1.5" (?) hoses by the brake pedals.
The sight glass is "weak" or some were over torqued at the factory. I've never had problems with mine.
One last thing that everyone should check is the oil in the front axle. Mine was down 2 quarts!!! http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/kubota-owning-operating/201623-l-series-front-axle-service.html
Also, Almost forgot, the suspension seat tends to stick in the down position... http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/kubota-owning-operating/129978-l3400-2800-suspension-seat.html
