    L3400 HST 4WD snow removal issues

    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...

    Yesterday while getting ready to mow, the tractor suddenly stalled. I got it run but it stalled again. The same happened a couple more times. A friend helped me troubleshooting the problem and he said the fuel filter was really dirty, so we removed the filter reservoir and drained it. There...

    I still looking for a smaller tractor to replace my Long 610. Came across a 2001 4x4 L3410 with loader and 3000 hours on the clock. My questions are: - Are 3000 hours too much for this tractor? - How many hours before the engine needs to be rebuilt? Assuming everything works and it does not...
