Kubota L3430 Arrived

DONOTDELETE · 06-12-2003, 05:32 AM

On Friday, my new L3430 arrived! Over the weekend I put 12 hours cutting my pasture. The machine worked great. I am glad I went with the HST. Late Saturday evening, I decided to attached the BH90 hoe. First time took about 45 min to remove the 3point and make minor boom adjustments to place the mounting pins into the subframe mount. I hope the process is quicker in the future. I dug my first hole (just playing around) Gee Whiz, the bucket sunk into the ground as if it were warm butter.

Steven, welcome to TBN and congrats on a great looking tractor and backhoe! [img]/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

When posting several pictures, it's best to post the first picture then reply to your own message instead of making separate posts for each picture. This keeps them all in the same thread as well as all comments.

Here are your two pictures.

Nice setup SP! That BH looks like one trick setup! Might have to add one of those to the "wish list" for down the road. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

What were you mowing with, what were the conditions and
.......in twelve hours of mowing, how much did you do?.......
Considering the 3430 vs 3830.....

I was mowing the pasture with a 60" Landpride brush cutter. The pasture grass was 2 1/2' tall. I was able to mow at least 9-10 acres. My finish lawn is about 3 acres, I mow that with a 21hp Kubota lawnmower. That lawn takes only 2 1/2 hours with the rider. I am considering a heavy duty rear finisher for the tractor to even out the cut due to the brush cutter works better on black berries etc....

Thanks, I am enjoying it! It is kind of a pain to take on and off due to the tractor and hoe have to be aligned just right to make the locking pins slide in. Lots of minor adjustments with boom and stabilizers to make it all happen.
