A friend had sold his tractor last fall (Kubota L3130 or 3430 with loader). Finally found a replacement the other day. A 2018 Boomer 35 with 270 hrs. Has the NH 250TLA loader on it. Paid ~$20,000 for it. Was delivered Monday. I went over to check it out and help with hooking up his County Line 5' tiller to it. It's in very nice condition. But we found out the 3-point arms are shorter making the drive shaft too long. So I am going to cut it down to fit. Right now the shaft measures 28 inches pin to pin that locks the joint on the spline. Measuring on the tractor at those spots, we have 24". Plus we need the shaft to collapse some more to allow attaching/removing it. That means I have to cut 5.5-6" out of it. This is the triangle shaped hollow shaft, so not that hard to cut. Just want to be sure I am correct in my thinking so please chime in. Only other option I know is to add to the mounting point for the 3-point pins locating the tiller back further.
