I am just curious about something. I have a 3054 and it has the TD1400 engine. The only thing I have to compare it to is the Kubota 3010 I used to have and my brothers L3450. I think the engine is rather noisy. I guess, I would have to say it seems noisier when it is not under a load. I don't think about it much when I mowing. But when I am moving dirt I let it run around 2000-2200 rpm while transporting and it seems very... well rattly...rattling. Since I have nothing to compare it too I would like to hear from others(maybe dealers) and hear your comparisons. I am not having a problem. I just rebuilt this engine and it has only 18 HRS on it. Runs great, pulls stronger and seems to be getting stronger every day. I did most chores the other day at 2300rpm no problems. Maybe the muffler is worn out. I may take that apart and check it.
