A while back I posted about my PTO failure and just now got to try it our after Kubota fixed it. WHile using a tiller, the PTO engagement coupling would fail to engage. it would bump out and I fixed it by adjusting the cable. It happened again and I found that it was built with an undersized...

I have had a problem with my PTO. It failed to properly engage (just chattered without engaging) so I adjusted the cable and it worked again for a little while. When I had my tiller on it, it failed again. I have not tried to readjust it yet, but came to this site to see if anyone else had...

I just got my 50 hour service for my new 3400 HST. I took it in myself and they replaced filters, fluid, lubed, etc. No repairs or anything out of the ordinary. THe cost??? 397$. That is about 8$ per hour for the first 50 hours. Is this a normal price? Can others tell me what theirs cost...

I jost bought a L3400 HST with FEL and BH. I now have <20 hours on it and probably only 2 on the BH. I dug out two stumps about three weeks ago, then started on a 4' deep ditch. My father-in-law got about 15 feet of it done one day but it was too muddy and we waited until it dried out...

Does anyone have any tricks to dig in mosit clay soil? I'm digging a 400 foot long 4' deep ditch for an electrical line and the gound is moist (time of year). Because of this, the dirt sticks in the 12' bucket. I bang it on a rock and it still stick in often. Can I lube the bucket or do...

I have a new L3400 HST (12 hours), even with several continuous hours of hard work digging and moving dirt in 60 degree weather, the temperature indicator never moves off of C. Is this normal? I haven't tried to trouble shoot it yet. Just thought I'd ask before I feel like looking into it.

The manual for the BH75 backhoe says not to load the tires when you have the BH installed. Does anyone know why?

I'm sure this is a newbie question, but I had two dealers give different answers so I don't have much faith in them. Question: is a folding ROPS required when using a BH and why? On dealer just said it was required, could not explain why, the other said it was not required. ?? Thanks

I have been looking at the pros and cons between these two machines and thought the main con of the L3400 was the loss of the mid PTO and thus the loss of a MMM. However, when I was at a local Kubota dealer today the salesperson said if I wanted a BH on the B7800 they would only sell one that...

I just got a quote for a new B2639. It lists for 15102 and the quote was 12890 (15% off list). with a LA 403 loader (list 3517 price 2830) a BH75 backhoe (list 6822 price 6090) and 60 MMM (list 2422 price 2190) it came to an even 24000. I have narrowed down my buying decision to one of these...

I am a first time poster and have found this forum very useful in my quest to buy my first tractor. This may be an odd question, but here it goes: I have been shopping a little on ebay and noticed adds from companies. If I purchase a tractor using ebay across state lines it seems that I get...
