I have a Kubota l3400 that I purchased with 70 hrs in 2012 and I almost has 300 on it now. I have used it extensively around our home we are building.
I do a "pretty good" job of keeping everything lubed every 10 hrs or after heavy loader work, like when I did the topsoil removal for the driveway.
The question I have is when you don't lube the pivot points and they get low you can kind of hear and feel in the stick the loader friction. When you live it goes away. So obviously I have waited to long a few times.
Now I keep her really lubed and now I can still feel that "friction" when i roll the bucket back with a semi heavy load.
Could I have damaged the pivot points when I let the lube get to low previously? Is there a way to check? When squeeze new grease in the dirty grease kinda seeps out and I wipe it off should I do a better job of cleaning the pivot points? If so how?
Sorry for all the questions, thanks.
