L3301 HST Sanity Check

[Pilotray]

Anyone priced one recently?

I've got a $20,301 quote for 4WD, Loader, SSQA, bucket and R4s.

It's the best I've found in NW FL but wondering if anyone has done any better.

Thanks,
Ray

Seems about the going rate for them. It's that up here in SW Michigan.

This place has what appear to be good package deals on L3301. Not sure about the quality of the implements and trailer.

You could try Barlows too.

The trailer in the picture is a Lawrimore. I sold about 25 new Larimores a couple of years ago. They are very good trailers for the money. I think the ones like shown in the picture were about $1600 with a brake axle. I think the paxkage deals are the way to go even if you don't need the trailer.

Thanks for the ideas. I'd had seen Snead before as they are couple hours away. After R4s and SSQA, $23,100 becomes $24,200 or so.

After looking, most dealers were within a couple hundred of the same price, so I drove to the local dealer who threw in a hat, some touch up paint and closed the deal, saving myself drive time and lots of diesel. I brought it home today.

I put two hours on it tonight and really enjoyed it. It is a great little machine. I should have done this two years ago when we moved in (and L3200s were 17K)!

The rules are that you must supply pictures of a new tractor

Seriously though, congratulations. I had the preceding model to your tractor (L3200) and it was a workhorse.

Tractor, box scrape, rotary cutter and trailer for $22K http://colemantractor.com/kubota-package-1.html

Go to the more package tab and they have a bunch of upgrades. Get a 20' dove tail trailer for $400 more. Lots of implement options also.

Congratulations, you are going to love it! They are very capable little machines. I bought mine in November but since I don't use it for snow removal, I have just started using it. 25 hours of grading drives and planting trees this past week. Flawless performance.

Don't sweat the regeneration thing like I did. When mine did its first regeneration at 20 hours, I just had to throttle up to about 2500 rpm and let it do its thing. I just kept digging with the hoe and the regeneration was over in about ten minutes.

Fair enough. Picture attached.

Ray,

Looks like you got a great deal! ENJOY!

One hint: Get on those dopey shipping/manufacture decals right away with WD-40 or GooBeGone. Photograph them in place for future reference. Mine are mostly faded and I have tried everything to get them off to no avail. The previous owner let my machine sit outside for 8 mos and I am still paying for it!

Hopefully, you have a shed for yours. NuFinish once a year and lots of WD or light oil at the joints will keep it looking new for years and years.

Have fun!
