How many hours on your L3400

[ccsial]

Just wondering how many hours and what problems you have had on your L3400.

Mine is a 2005 bought new. It has 360 hours on it. It is used with a Woods RD7200 finish mower and a snow blower. I have no end loader on it. Almost all the hours are with the PTO running.

My dealer replaced the 3PH jerky valve right away.

It has been a great tractor with few problems.

The HST pedal mounting bracket became loose at 350 hours. I found one bolt had been stripped. That was an easy fix.

There was one stripped bolt on the floorboard, also an easy fix.

At 360 hours The PTO cable broke. I replaced the cable. That was an easy job and took just over an hour and a $20 cable. I found my tractor had the latest bracket.

I've got about the same hours as you do, maybe a few less. Mine's an 09, DT model.

Problems? Well, it's been split by the dealer to repair a rusted and sticking clutch spline, both front tires were replaced under warranty for sidewall bulges, and I had a seal replaced on the right side loader boom cylinder, and that's about it.. other than me adjusting the 3-point lift valve trying to get it to be as smooth as I think it should be.

All the repairs were covered by the warranty.

Mine has 128 on it when I traded it,.. No problems.. Unless you want to talk about that hitch thing..

401 hrs, 2009 HST, replaced the battery in 2010, that's it. I haven't even found a loose bolt yet, I check it often.( Finger's crossed)

I forgot to mention changing the battery. Mine died after 3 years.

OVer 400 hrs on mine. And some hard use too.

Only real warranty issue was the tach cable twisted off @ 0.3hrs. They sent me a new one and havent had any issues since that were not my fault.

I have blown two front hoses for curl cylinders (my fault indeed)
Broked rear light/flasher housing running over brush
Bent step to get on with brush

A few other odds and ends. Just part of tractoring.

Still on the original suction hose though, And battery

I have a nice new suction hose still in the package. If you need it.

Mine's an '09 also. 88 hrs. New battery in 2012. Casual use and no problems.

She hasn't failed me yet. But does show some signs of surface cracking.

One of these days, I'm gonna have to buy that hose from you:thumbsup:
