    L3400 Key Switch

    My L3400 is by far a machine that does all I need to do and then some. If there is one thing I could change it would be the key switch position. How many times have I been doing something and my knee inadvertently bumps the switch and turns off the engine? Too many to count! I have gotten fast...

    1520 ROPS

    My brother in law bought a 2007 NH 1520 and the ROPS is too high for the garage. Someone has told him the foldable model ROPS on the NH 1510 will fit right on the NH 1520? Can anyone confirm this? Is there any good options out there to reduce the ROPS by 3 inches?

    Saltwater Pond

    This post is not directly related but I thought some of you would be able to help. I have a 5 acre saltwater pond that is fed by a spillway when the tide is high. We have a 6-7' tide change here in the Carolinas. The horizontal three foot diameter pipe runs 40' from the river to the pond where I...

    Bent Cylinder

    My Kubota L3400 has an older 4690 backhoe that has done quite well until today when I bent the boom cylinder rod. I was digging some riprap around my spillway mouth and had the bucket four feet below the ground surface when I realized the boom could not come back up and the cylinder was visibly...

    PTO Pump Pressure Check

    I purchased a used Kubota 4690 Backhoe/w PTO pump. The unit is working but seems to be weak. I don't have a manual but would like to put a gauge on the hydraulics and check the operating pressure. Can someone give me a heads up on how to do that?

    Hogged my Gas Cap

    Bushhoging today and realized my gas cap had come off! Is there something generic for an L3400 or is it a trip to the Kubota place?

    Backhoe  L3400 with 4690 3 point Backhoe

    Having read all the threads about 3 point versus sub frame backhoes I am well aware of the pros and cons! Also having just bought a very nice 4690 3 pt backhoe for a price I could afford it is time to ask the question. I have ordered the reinforced 3 pt top-link bracket. My L3400 has a loader...

    Backhoe  L3010 Backhoe

    Can anyone tell me if a backhoe off of a kubota 3010 would fit on my L3400HST? It is difficult to tell just by looking at the pics!

    Jinma Observations

    After owning 2 Jinmas I purchased a Kubota 3400 hydro last year. Trust me I got every dollar out of my Jinmas and have nothing but praise for this machine. For the money it is still one heck of a value! I just want to pass along some observations made between these machines. The power of a 284...
