Kubota L3800
Just wondering if anyone else has had any issues with their l3800. I have blown a total of 4 hydraulic lines 2 on bucket and 2 on backhoe. As well as the valve block on the backhoe needi g to be replaced. Very disappointed so far. Dealer has been great fixing under warranty but plenty loss of time and production. The bucket and hoe are dealer installed kubota attachments. Not sure of models. This last line that blew took 1/2 hydraulic fluid with it before we noticed it


Thanks for any input

I should add that I just bought this spring and it has just under 150hrs now

Instead of just replacing the hoses over and over, the dealer needs to test the hydraulic system pressure. I bet it is way high from either a stuck or improperly adjusted relief valve. Very easy fix and should have been done at the first sign of trouble like that.
