I think YouTube is calling @Henro

I couldn't find a video on this model but maybe I'll try again.

You misunderstand - I was suggesting @Henro should produce and star in one

A BH77 is a sub frame attached design and will not fit your tractor. They are purpose built for use on specific makes and models and apparently Kubota never built anything equivalent for your tractor. You also have to remove the 3pt hitch lift arms and linkage to use them.

Your hoe is a universal fit implement designed to mount directly on a standard 3pt hitch. Not as rigid but waaaaay more versatile. And the 3pt lift arms and linkage do not have to be removed and reinstalled when switching between backhoe and other implements.

Apparently a B81300 mount will fit a BH77 to an L3400. I'd advise @JenJen to consult her dealer to confirm. Then all that would remain would be the hydraulic hook-up, but I know someone who could help with that.

Wouldn't be cheap, but might be possible.

Your backhoe might be too old for one of the new style mounts, but you can try calling the dealer to find out. I will say that it looks like you're missing the recommended top-link reinforcement bracket....

looks to me that he does have the heavy duty top link bracket. I lightened up the picture a little bit. it appears to be exactly the same as mine.

edit: BUT I forgot that the OP has an L 3400. Mine is a B series. I’ll try to add a second photo here that shows what the heavy duty top link brackets look like for the B series and perhaps the OP can compare what he has.

VERY risky to use a 3PH backhoe without a heavy duty top link bracket. Can’t be stated too many times…

Here is the reinforcement bracket that is currently on my L3010:
