Hello All -
We live near Columbia, SC and just purchased a new to me Kubota L3400 MT4WD. We have 10 acres in WNC and I'm in a lease of 400+ acres for hunting and both properties always seem to need some work done that requires more than a shovel.
Not knowing it's maintenance history I picked up the WSM and figured I would perform the 50 & 100 hour service procedures. I also had to rework the oil pan as there was a lot of seepage from the area - not sure why the PO was in there, but he left 11 of the 20 bolts out. Strange.
Headlight assy was broken so I replaced with a 17" LED light bar, oil and filter change (and oil pan rework), temp gauge hooked back up and still to do the hydraulic fluid & filter, front axle fluid, all points greasing, engine coolant and figure out why the GP key switch position seems to do nothing.
It does experience a bit of the jerky 3pt hitch syndrome common with the L3400, but nothing I can't live with. Other than that, the unit seems to be in excellent working condition as one would expect of a low hour tractor.
So far for attachments, it came with a Gannon 66" rollover box blade (earthcavator?), a buddy had an extra landscape rake which he donated and I am searching for an FEL, brush hog and ???
Other projects planned - rear work lights, toolbox, 3 spool valve (2 for rear, one for front grapple once I source an FEL), widen the rear tire stance, tire ballast and to use the darn thing.
I've been lurking for a while and already appreciate the collective knowledge here and I know I will be digging for more as well as one day adding back to the community.
Wishing you all well -
Ray
