Comparison l3200 vs l3400

[Notforhire]

Yeah, I've seen em. That one is unacceptable!

The question is how many are sold vs how many are bad jerky...

I checked out five or six, and every one was that bad. If you know about it before you buy, that's one thing, finding out later would suck.
If it wasn't for this forum, I never would have tested one. Every 3ph I've used in the last fifty years was smooth except these certain Kubotas.
IMHO 99% are probably jerky, just not enough to bother the owner. If it's their first tractor, they may even think it's normal.
I know it would drive me nuts, thats why I killed my L3800 deal. Other than that I really liked the tractor.

I can assure you that mine is that bad. I just learned to live with it because it is a great tractor otherwise.

Mine was that bad, I learned to live with it, until I got to itching for a little more tractor
someone is probably enjoying the heck out of my old 'bota right now. It has the bedliner on the floorboards, should not be hard to spot.

So which was it that made you jump the fence......the hitch or the itch for more tractor:laughing:

I still been meaning to do the bed-liner to my floorboards too. Are you going to do it to your POS DK?? Ah, dont waste the money, the tractor will probabally fall appart before the floorboard sheet-metal rusts out

I guess the jerky hitch is kinda a testament to how well kubota builds a tractor. Because I think that hitch would shake a LOT of other tractors appart:laughing:

Guess I just got lucky. It is a fine tractor!

Wow.. what can I say Well lets see..I kinda wanted more tractor, but the hitch did peeve me some.. but It wasn't a deal breaker/maker. MY "POS" Kioti, has a very thick nice rubber mat that will probably outlast me. But If I had another metal floorboard I would not hesitate to do the bedliner trick again, as I really felt it improved the Kubota a bunch. As for the DK falling apart, I don't think so. it is built heck-for -stout. Has a lot more metal in it than your 'bota I might add... As for the jerky hitch, I am thinking this is a big moneymaker for Kubota, as people who have jerky-hitch-syndrome are busy trading them in for Grand L's with all the trimmings including cab's I fooled 'em though...

By the way for the non-members who might be reading this thread, (and there are thousands). LD1 and I get along fine, and I have no animosity towards Kubota's and I am sure he has no hatred of Kioti's.. he just thinks because I switched brands and now have a Kioti, that I am traitorous, villainous, low-life, turncoat scum.. but other than that he really likes me:laughing: Honest! It is all in good fun guys.
