JAE 3400

So,I'm at my local Kubota dealer buying filters and oil for the 50hr service for my L3400 purchased in June 09. I decide to inquire about the jerky 3 point hitch to the service mgr. He tells me that the pick up hose is sucking air somewhere and that is causing the problem. So he orders a new hose and calls me a week later to install it. They came and picked up the tractor and installed the new hose and returned it the next day. I am pleased to say that the hitch is about 90% better than before still not perfect but very much improved. He told me that they could not find a hole in the old hose and it could be some kind of minute crack or something. This hose is the hard rubber hose that goes into the pump right by the brake pedals. All was covered under warranty except the pick up and delivery. I thought I would pass this on to all the folks. Thanks to the folks at Bortnick tractor sales in Conneaut Ohio for a great service team.
