I think so. Now I'll be looking for a good used or a new 5ft PTO snow blower or even a FEL blade if found at a good price. How good is the NorTrac snow blower? Is that stuff made in China? Thanks.

Thank you Bill. Every body has said blower is the way and I agree. But have you tried a front blade on the FEL loader for snow plowing?

Thank you all for your comments. The consensus of the forum is to go with a snow blower. Technically, snow blower does make sense. It's just the driving backward plus the pain to hook it on the PTO that I really hate. I still would like to hear from an owner who has used or is using a front...

I use a rear blade on my L3400 HST 4WD for snow removal. This setup has been fine for most of the snow falls in Virginia. But it is almost ineffective in snow blizzard situations with snow 12-24 inches or more, which we have once every several years or so. My asphalt driveway is about 700 ft...

I just wanted to update the forum on my solenoid starting problem. Since the new fuel solenoid was put in, my L3400HST started every single time. Recently we had 2 snow storms about 8 inches each time with temperature in the teens and twenties, no problem. The tractor started on the first...

I had a similar problem with my L3400. My mechanic friend, after sanding the brown rust deposits away from the contacts and plunger ring, he bent the 2 contacts up slightly to ensure good electrical connection. The starter has not failed so far. But some time next year I will probably get a...

Anyone in northern Virginia that has block heater installed on the Kubota tractor? Is it really needed in VA? The temperature in the Winter around here has been mostly in the 20's Faranheit when it snows. I just wonder if I really need one or if a battery trickle charger will do. Thanks.

Wolfman, I located the block heater for my L3400 on the Coleman website and want to get one but mechanically I am not comfortable to tackle it. Where does this go on the engine? How difficult is it? I'd like to get some idea to see if it's something I can do myself or I have to get help from my...

Hi Sawfiler, I had a similar experience with my L3400HST. Was lifting a mower from a pickup truck with the front end loader, then suddenly the tractor died. Thought fuel filter was dirty. I emptied the fuel bowl, put in new fuel filter, bled the fuel line... still no fuel coming out of the...

Thanks to Wolfman for the link. I saved $40 for the fuel shut off solenoid, which is a real Kubota part, made in Japan. It arrived within 5 days. I installed it on the tractor today. It made a solid loud click when key turned to ON - like a heavy weight punch vs the light weight punch of the...

Thank you Ray but they have only one kit for Kubota with G266 engine. The L3400HST has D1703-MA-E2A engine. Any one has done a starter solenoid rebuild on L2800 and L3400?

I just ordered one this morning. Will post results with new solenoid although the existing solenoid has worked properly the last 2 days.

This is what I have in mind. These parts in my solenoid were covered with black and brown burnt stuffs. After cleaning them they looked nice but a little worn. I'd like to replace them with new and shiny copper parts.

I called my local Kubota parts department to buy a starter solenoid rebuild kit. Two persons in that department did not understand what part I am talking about. I tried to describe the parts to them to no avail. They wanted to sell me the whole starter unit. About 6 months ago when I just got...

Rum4, finally how did you get the tractor started? replaced the fuel solenoid and replay? Thanks. I am having the same problem.
