I have had a L3430 for about a year and half, I sort of got used to the FEL pattern while moving snow on the Bota, until this summer when switching back and forth to my JD, so now the Kubota pattern seems misaligned, as it did when I first starting using it.
The JD and my older, gone JD, the "cross" pattern-- if you will-- the loader is dead ahead and is straight back, same with the bucket at three and nine o'clock.
My issue is on the 3430 it is "twisted" so the motion is about one and seven o'clock and ten and four.
I am going to shim the bracket that attaches the stick to the wheel well, but was wondering if there is a kit or parts that would make the attachment of the two parts adjustable. Dreaming perhaps.
And, just curious, I was surprised at the hour meter on the 3430, if it idles for say one-half hour, a half-hour shows up on the meter, I was always under the understanding that farm tractors logged hour to hour at PTO speed. Meaning if you work for one hour at 1300, the meter logs one half hour.
Thanks all
