L3400

[goochy]

ok been driving it for 1 Hr 1/2 ....... WOW , Is it crazy to be in love with a tractor :laughing:. The dura grader works GREAT !! on my driveway ( good white rock ) on his driveway , it SUCKS ( hard pack , potholes , no gravel ) . I have not used ft bucket yet . tractor ONLY has 109 hrs before I got on it . He could not remember , he thought it had 159 !!! SWEET!! 109 hrs . Going back outside to do some more damage !! :cloud9:

The lift is OK , it does JERK , but I can live with it . Is 2500 RPM about right for pulling dura grader in 4x4 M range ? Seems to work best in M 4x4 . Tires are NOT filled , but will be SOON !

If you can live with the 3PH you will really like the tractor. The 3PH is about the worst thing the L3400 has to offer. For that matter, I think it is the only bad thing it has to offer other than not tool box.

Run it where you have good power, if 2500 is it, then that where it needs to be.

I got in over 2 hrs grading driveways with the Dura Grader . It works great IF you have gravel !!! It sucks if you have nothing to work with . Tractor is new , 110 hrs , runs perfect . Going to play with the FEL loader this weekend . Thanks for the help ! L3400 is a great little rig ( except the Jerky )

Jerky is for eating not for tractors So, are you buying? ...or just getting a free rental? :laughing:

Its mine , but I can not pick it up until next Thrusday when he comes back into town . One check to Kubota , and one check to him .

I generally run mine about 2000 for loader work in L range, I only use M for transporting load when I need to cover some ground faster. But you may be using it on much flatter and more stable ground.

And LD1, does yours not really have a tool box? mine does. (2010 model)
and notice the tool box in his photo right and behind of the SMV sign?
I thought they all had a toolbox. It is not all that large, but It holds about all I want or need to put in it. a wrench, a bungie, a pair of pliers , rag, and a pair of mechanics gloves, and the PTO cover.

Nope, no toolbox except the one I added.

That was one of the complaints on the earlier L3400's. I knew I heard that the new L3700 and L3200/3800's had a toolbox, but I wasn't aware they started putting them on the later L3400's as well.

Mine is an 06 model BTW. Back when I was researching mine, the only three complaints were the lack of a toolbox, jerky 3PH, and the suction hose for the hyd pump would crack. But kubota fixed the hyd hose with a better material.
