I looked at that also and I could see a problem with the dip stick getting bumped. The extension on the hyd fill port will get in the way of adjusting the seat height..I know this because of my TnT bypass line goes to the fill port and it is an extension that looks to be the same length and if I need to adjust the seat height I have to remove it.
Obviously the ratchet noise has been very annoying to several owners for them to raise enough stink for Kubota to try and shotgun this with a cheesy remedy.
I just hope this is not their permanent repair for this.

I went to my dealer today and they are ordering the kit. Figure I will give it a go. Did you guy's notice how much more fluid gets added? A little over seven additional quarts. Going to make that 50 hr. service even more expensive. I hope Kubota knows what they are doing. I asked them at the dealer how many L2800/3400 HST's they have sold. About a dozen and that was all they could get. Then I asked how many complained about the 3pt. jerk and the ratchet noise. Answer. One. Me. I am a service technician for a living and worked at a Ford dealer for 17 years so I kind of know how the games are played. Ford would issue a service bulletin but unless you complained about a problem you did not get the fix. Just business unless it is a safety concern then it is a recall. Still seems like a Mickey Mouse fix to me. Seems like Kubota is going on the cheap to fix this one. At least the valve was an improved part and did fix it. Brian
I wish Kubota would release an official service bulletin regarding the 3010 valve replacement for the 3ph, since I'll have mine changed in approx 40 hours.
Doing some reading on this board, it's apparent that not all of the dealers are knowledgable about all of the steps involved in replacing that valve (for example, they have to make an adjustment after valve replacement so that you still get maximum lift height).
A service bulletin with the steps listed out could help prevent little problems like this.
