Thank you. I am a believer in synthetic. I will change all oil and filters with the good stuff and see how this thing holds up. I assume when you say the f-r-a-m your you mean the orange ones sold at wally. I usually use original equipment all the way so were good there. The web does...

I bought a used zd25, maybe a 2006 serial number 16,xxx. Supposed to have 560 hours on it guy claimed to be trouble free original owner. He bought a new one and most of his stuff was nice and pretty new. With zero records on such a mower I am thinking of changing all fluids and filters to...

First thanks for the info. The net is a buz with zd series trans issues. Most were dated 03 to 06 as far as posting dates. The owner appeared unaware of trans issues, said it had been trouble free minus a rear axle breaking last season. Serial number 13704. So unless the dealer upgraded at...

Hello all. School me on a kabota zd21 with 60" pro deck. Used 2006 model 700 hours one owner used only on his yard. Asking price 5800. I read lots of transmission issues. Is this over reported or should I run the other way. The owner is a professional kinda guy and took it to the dealer...

Looking at a 2005 z21f with 700 hours. Always serviced annually at kubota dealership. Asking price 5800. Thoughts?

Its with sadness I have for sale my 06 L3400. This is tractor is real nice always, garage kept and as shiny as a new one setting on the lot. Just 123 well maintained hours on this two wheel drive manual shift tractor. Located in Missouri. Bring your trailer and 7,800.00 and its yours. I...

I noticed on my 3400 the pins on my equipment were real tight. I never had to have clean holes or pins to hook up on my jd 850. Wonder if the kubota's are maybe a little tight. Figured maybe my pins were a bit rough so when it warms up I was going to take mine out and just polish them on...

To answer a few questions. My tractor is a gear model and from what I read, so far maybe 6 plus hours combing the web looking for a cause,treatment, cure, the recognized models are the 2800-3800?, The early production tractors being early 2006 and older and the 3400 itself are the most...

I have read 4 hours the other night on possible cures. I had not read on your recommended fix, and you have my attention. A new hyd control valve is 400.00 bucks form Kabota and its supposed to take it from 1 inch leaps to around 1/4" leaps. I hate to spend more money on it because if I was...

It jumps when you start to come up, where in the arc does not seem to matter. Now I think I could make it jump only once if I wanted to start at the bottom and make one full sweep to the top. But I am not sure how I will use a scraper blade or box blade when spreading rock or doing dirt work...

Thanks for the replies. I scoured google and it appears jumpy 3 points are sorta the norm on 3400's. Guess I should have read more before buying.:confused: I sure think I like the tractor, hard to tell because its so darn cold. It will be used primarily to mow my yard with a 3 point...

Hello all. I bought a l3400 with 93 hours on it for home owner chores and light use on a hobby farm. My first attempt at using it left me concerned. First I found the 3 point to be real jumpy more on the up than down but wow scary, rpm changed nothing. Next is likely a noob problem to...

Thanks for the clarity. The filters are not engine grey. I think as a cautionary note I will service it anyway. I liked to spewed cofee all over my screen when I read the antifreeze bit. I had a farmall A a few years back that liked to pee the bed as well. Its peasure was 80-90 and...

Thanks for the replies/advice. I put 10th of an hour on it last night just playing and letting the kids take a turn at the wheel.. Its zippy compared to the deer, the hp difference shows quickly. I did not see paint dobs making either filter. The prevouis owner's son was supposed to own a...

Thanks for the warm welcome. Yes the f stands for 2wd. I would have prefered a front wheel assist with a loader and maybe a spot or to bigger. But keeping in mind I was going to mow with it at home I felt weight could become an issue and I knew the price would be an issue.:eek: The little...
