HST or DT L3400? Ordering today.

Well...it goes to the dealer tomorrow. This jumpyness is not small. It shakes the entire tractor. The back of the tractor lifts up by 4 to 5 inches when it goes up.

The dealer looked at the tractor yesterday...finally. He said that he called Kubota and they told him it is normal. It's definitely not normal. Moving the 3 point hitch shakes the tractor violently. I've been told by other members here that it's a bad 3 point control valve. Is there some way to get ahold of Kubota? The dealer also mentioned that there is another control valve that they could install...at my cost (not under warranty) that would make it smooth. He said something like a 360. Any ideas?

I just want my tractor back and fixed! /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif
Thanks,

And here lies the problem.

I'll bet he did not describe the problem like you have described it here. Looks like you are going to have to communicate with someone higher up on the Kubota food chain.

I think you're right. More than anything I'm worried that the dealer (service dept) has no idea what it's supposed to be like. Unless my tractor is SPECIAL...he's wrong. Any idea on who I should call?

talk to service at Your Kubota District office, the numbers are on the Owners Manual.

Rattle the cage , that's what I did when a questionable situation came up.

Good Luck! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
