I am thinking real hard on finally pulling the trigger on a L3400HST.
I have read many posts on TractorByNet about the jerky 3PH problems and the PTO cams & PTO cable problems of the past.
From the most recent of these posts, most seem to conclude that these problems have been addressed on the current models.
However, today I was reading some reviews on the L3400 (not on TBN). The reviews were very positive but there were a couple reviews where the owners purchased in late 2008 and early 2009; and under 'weaknesses', they commented on the 3PH being jerky and also on having problems with the PTO cable.
I hate to rehash what has been discussed many times, but I just wish that I knew if these problems are completely resolved on the current L3400 tractors being sold now. I would hate to buy and discover that they have not been fixed.
I have mentioned these concerns to 3 dealers and all 3 didn't know what I was talking about; all 3 said that they've never heard anything about ANY 3PH or PTO problems ever.
Does ANYONE have a L3400 that they purchased in 2009 that still has any issues with the 3PH or PTO cams/cable ?
Thanks,
Arky
