Comparison of the L3400HST and Grand L3540HST

 

 

Unlike many other types of products, Kubota does not have “low end tractors”. Kubota offers tractors in various models for the various needs and budgets of their customers. The same QUALITY, ENGINEERING, CRAFTSMANSHIP and PRIDE go into EVERY product manufactured by Kubota. That being said, let’s take a look at the features of the L3400HST and Grand L3540HST.

L3400 Tractor

 

The time-tested popularity of Kubota’s simple-to-operate standard L3400 proves one thing: that it is one of the most dependable and versatile tractors in its class. Available in 2WD or 4WD with a Gear Drive Transmission or 4WD with a Hydrostatic Transmission and either with live continuous PTO, this tractor puts the “work” in “work horse”.

     

Here are a few other features that make the L3400 the choice of many customers:

New HST Transmission

The new L3400 Hydrostatic Transmission model (HST) is highly productive and easy to operate. The 3-Range transmission allows for optimal and infinite speed selection. A single pedal, for both speed and forward/reverse, utilizes the smooth clutchless operation of the transmission. The new I-Type Shift Lever Pattern enables easy range shifting from low to medium to high. Operating a tractor has never been easier.

  

       New Gear Drive
         Transmission

Get the job done faster with more horsepower and a mechanical shuttle transmission. For easier front-loader operation, the range shift has a forward/reverse mechanical shuttle shift in the low and reverse ranges. Moreover, the transmission offers 8 forward and 4 reverse speeds, enabling you to select the perfect speed for higher productivity.

Engine

To elevate your performance to a new level, Kubota has increased the horsepower on both of their world-renowned E-TVCS diesel engines.

  

CRUISE CONTROL

Mechanical cruise control is a standard feature on the L3400 HST model. For an easy way to keep your working speed constant regardless of terrain simply set the infinite mechanical cruise control lever to your desired speed. Changing your speed is as simple as operating a single lever.

  

Radiator Reserve Tank/Oil Cooler
(HST Model Only)

These two features provide an extra measure of protection for the HST Models, especially on extremely hot days.

Wet-Disc Brakes

Responsive and smooth, the long-life wet-disc brakes are immersed in oil and require only the slightest foot pressure to activate.

Smooth Power Steering

To reduce fatigue, both 2WD & 4WD models come equipped with smooth, easy-turn, integral power steering.

Large Fuel Tank

An ample 9-gallon fuel tank lets you fill up with more fuel so you can operate longer.

Bevel Gear 4WD

A superior feature that delivers an extremely tight turning radius with full power transfer to the wheels at every steering angle.

 

Spacious Semi-Flat Deck

To provide maximum comfort, the operator’s platform has been redesigned, increasing the platform space by a generous 12%. Its semi-flat design also makes getting on and off the tractor much easier.

 

Entry/Exit Step

An Entry/Exit Step, standard on the L3400, enables easy access to and from the operator area.

  

Conveniently Located PTO Lever

To further enhance entry/exit, the PTO lever is located on the right side of the operator’s seat on the HST Model, or to the right side of the deck center cover on the gear-drive model.

 

Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS)

For maximum protection, all Standard L Series models come with ROPS as standard features. A foldable ROPS is also available as a factory option.

 

3-Point Hitch

The large capacity hydraulic pump and cylinder provide powerful lifting capacity, allowing you to use a wider range of implements.

 

Top Link Holder

A feature that keeps your top link in place when not in use.

 

Cup Holder

A new design securely holds either a cup or a mug.

  

Choice of Tires

Tires designed especially for specific jobs enable the L3400 to perform even better. You can select from AG, Industrial and Turf Tires.
