Anyone have a hood for an L3200, or know where to buy one for a reasonable price?
In my opinion, $1K+ at a dealer is not reasonable.

I need a new hood for Kubota L3200.

I was working with a friend who was using a small excavator to remove some stumps. He was digging them up, then putting them in my bucket for me to haul to a burn pile. One of the heaviest stumps wasn’t balanced well and it fell over the back of the bucket as I drove up a steep hill. It crushed the hood but fortunately not me, and nothing mechanical was damaged.Welcome to the forum.
What happened to your bonnet?
The only way to get one cheaper is to check with a tractor junk yard.
The tractor still runs well, but it looks rough due to the smashed hood/bonnet. The tractor has less than two hundred hours on it and many years of use left. I’d like to replace it so I don’t have to be reminded of my mistake for the years to come.

You could go the route that CaveCreekRay did and have a body & fender shop repair the hood. Way cheaper than a new one.
Exactly what I did on my used M9 open station. The previous owner rolled something out of the bucket and wacked the hood. I had a local body shop bump the dents out, glaze it and repaint it for 200 bucks. Just the upper bonnet assembly fr an M9 is a grand from Kubota. The side wings are another grand and the grill is 200. I did replace the grill so overall it was 400 bucks, not bad considering new cost.
