L2800 3 point shudder problem

[GMtb42]

Well talked to someone from Kubota today about the 3 point shudder problem , the guy said where did you hear about the fix from .
I told him I seen it on Tractorbynet.com , he said in a sarcastic way , "What a place to be getting information from" .
So now he tells me that Kubota is calling it a "upgrade" and that all new tractors with the new valve had a price increase to cover the cost of the new valve .
So just like Ford who told me once , "We are aware of the problem but we are not calling it a problem" , problem .
I asked what division handled my area he said , Central .
More to come .

Sounds like you're dealing with someone who does not embrace technology. My father gave me some very good food for thought when I was younger and I quote,"Don't ever think that you are so good that you can't be replaced, there is always someone smarter,faster,stronger,better looking,etc."The list goes on and on.The guy your dealing with could use this advice.I too have ran into that problem with Ford,had to do with head gaskets on a 1992 t-bird.......

So how many people have had the 3 point jerking and valve taken care of by their dealer ?

I had my L3400HST fixed. Much better after the fix. I just called the local dealer and explained the issue, telling him I heard there was a fix available, and he looked it up and confirmed the fix. I had it done at the 50 hour service, since it save me some bucks on the service (the paid for the tranny fluid as part of the repair). I had to pay for the trailer ride into town however.

How old is your tractor? I bought my 2800 last fall. It had the new valve from the factory.

I Purchased my L2800 in May 05 and had it fixed in June 05. I had read of the fix here on TBN and told my dealer of it and they researched it and fixed my tractor without any hassles.

I'm not sure when they made the change , but the newer tractors are susposed to have the new valve already installed at the factory. My L2800 was bought in June of 2005 and I had the valve changed shortly after I got it. It made a world of difference and it didn't cost me anything. Had the hydro oil increase update also. Longer fill tube and dip stick.

It seems that Kubota has changed their position on the fix and are calling it a upgrade and I was just trying to see how many were fixed before the so called upgrade status came about .
So if you had it repaired post reply .
Thanks .

Had mine fixed within the first two hours of operation. Now the machine is two years old. If it was not fixed the tractor was going back. I don't know how your dealer could not be aware of the issue. They sometimes get a little testy when you tell them how to fix your tractor but it is "your" tractor and needs to operate properly.

Good luck and don't be afraid to call a Kubota rep. Brian

I called my dealer an hour after mine was delivered in June of 2005. They sent a mechanic to my place and he said that it was not right. They researched it an fixed it free within a week. A good dealer is like gold.
