Hello,
I am not sure if I am posting this in the right place, so please excuse me.
I am considering buying a L3400 and I read on TBN where owners have complained about the 3PH being jerky. Some said that it had gotten less jerky in recent years, but it still jerked. I called my Kubota dealer and asked about this. He said he had received some complaints, but that was several years ago and he had not gotten any complaints on the 3PH in the last couple years.
I will test the 3PH at the dealer to see for myself if it is something I can live with. We are mainly going to be using it to dig postholes, manure loader work, light landscaping and light plowing. I am mainly looking at the L3400 because I want a gear drive transmission with a Live PTO. I just cannot bring myself to get an HST and the price is virtually the same for a L2800HST and a L3400DT. Both with loaders.
I also asked him if there was a way I could download an Owner's Manual for the L3400, but he said a downloadable file was not available, just the hard copies he had at the dealership. Does anyone know where I can download a PDF version of the Owner's Manual that I can read up on the operation of the L3400?
Thanks in advance for any help.
