Sounds like they did good for you. I think you'll like your L3400.
L3400 3pt lift jerkiness or am I overloading.

Exactly how mine looked last week - not any more - I did some moving around of the manure pile last weekend!
Is your 3pt as notchy as mine was - 1" granularity - or better than that?

Note the mud on the front of the trailer. It is no longer clean... /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif
edit: I haven't put any weight on it yet, but it does seem to have 1/2 or 1/4" incriments at the lift eyes of the lower arms empty. I pick up the BB on Saturday (I think I'm gonna do the 72") and I'll tell more then.

Okay, picked up the 72" BB and it is obvious that the "position control" is a 1" -ing valve. I am very interested if anyone has the PSB (or whatever) number for this repair. I am going to have the valve replaced, this is just not right.

I have not seen a number for this fix but it is common enough that your dealer should be able to locate it. I'm sure the Kubota rep in you area must know about it.

When the Kubota tech. rep came to my farm he had it printed out. I wish I would I have remembered the number from it.
Even up here in the northern tundra of Canada the Kubota rep's are well aware of it so you should not have an issue getting the valve changed.

Just an update for anyone curious on this.
Just got my tractor back from the dealer. The 3PT hitch is MUCH smoother after the new valve. I'll throw the ballast box on tomorrow and give it a shot with some weight - but it looked pretty darn good when I tried it without an implement today.
I also go the dealer to throw on three chain hooks onto the top of the bucket. Wish I had thought about it when I made the deal
had to pay for labour. Glad I got it done though. They did a fabulous job.
