Have my old Massey TO35 30 yrs, 56 model,needing too much to over haul, so went in halves with my son and bought a 10 yr old Kubota L3600 4wh w/loader, Woods back hoe, 1800 hrs. This tractor was used primarily for construction work, thus the loader and back hoe. Evidently received regular maintenance and service. Runs great.Replaced all fluids, filters, tires,front end tie rods, etc. The problem/question. It came without the Kubota 3pt equipment. Assumed was never used with the Woods back hoe underbelly mounting system was used. Checked with local Kubota dealer to purchase all the old original 3pt system, way more than reasonable. What I'm really looking to buy is the more current 3pt system used. Where can I find/buy the adjustable lower arms that you can back up and just get close to the implement, slide the end to correct length, pin it and then back up to lock in the adjuster.also they make an upper arm adjuster that has a small gear box and handle(lift leveling box) to rotate up or down to level your implement. And somewhere is available the side arm check that instead of the check chains, there is a telescopic tube with several holes that you can drop a pin in at the correct length. I don't seem to be able to find any of these parts that are designed to fit the L series Kubota. Is any one here using these newer 3pt parts,how do you like, where did you purchase? Any and all help will be appreciated. Garylee

What you want was never made in a kit form for the L's or any others for that matter.
You going to have to build the three point from scratch to get everything you want.
Or save yourself some $$ and headaches and just put a quick hitch on it and be done.

I understand there is probably not a specific kit for the L3600.
If I had original 3pt assembly, I could measure the length's and the two offsets on the lower arms, and the distance center to center of the pin holes.Same with uppers and stabilizer arms. I don't know how to get those measurements specific to this particular tractor. Or where to look for what I need to acquire the more current equipment. The Kubota arms are not like my old Massey, they are offset on the ends, not straight. I cannot find anywhere local or on the web that list's what I want that states the arms will fit a L3600 with offsets, correct length(whatever that is). I'm trying to find on this "Kubota" forum some "L" series owner that has found a source for the newer adjustable lower links,adjustable stabilizer arms vs chains.etc. I do weld and fabricate, and like the "idea" of quick hitch, but I have too many implements at this time to modify.Just looking for a source.

I have an L3600DT

I have the original 3pt

Tell me what you need measurement wise and I will try to accommodate

PLEASE keep in mind it is Snow moving time here in the Idaho Panhandle so you have to give me time to drop the Blower and take pics and measurements for you.. it isn't quite as easy as in summer when I am changing implements often

To my knowledge, there are no aftermarket lower lift arms with telescoping draft links (the ends that come out and making attaching an implement easier). You will need to find the right length, and buy a Kubota set- big bucks.
There are aftermarket 3 pt kits, but they generally are not as good as the factory parts. You are traveling a well-worn road, so advice that you get might not be what you want to hear, but none of it is new.

You can look at Weaver Compact Tractor Parts for components, once you know the length of lift arm that you need (https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct...Xof3ywxGoJOL8zerqMUazA&bvm=bv.110151844,d.cWw).

You can also try West Kentucky Tractor Parts (https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct...Em8AvV0-EDLedxgq1EWE9A&bvm=bv.110151844,d.cWw)

If you buy Kubota parts, you can also get Kubota telescoping stabilizers. Or, I build them custom- you could PM me.

I believe that you can just go to your Kubota dealer and measure a 3301 or 3901 and get the measurements that you are looking for. Cross reference part numbers if you want on the Kubota website.

Pretty sure that you are going to have a tough time finding what you need.

Big big money from Kubota and good luck with any of the used-tractor junk yards. I personally have had ZERO luck getting anything from the tractor junk yards. Could never even get them to answer the phones or an e-mail. :(

You may want to check with these guys, they don't show it on their website, but they do have a complete 3pt set for a Kubota. Maybe get the dimensions from them and compare to the measurements that you can get off of a 3301.

Good luck;)
