$2500 plus it was when the 02's first came out when I bought mine and it was Covid so I took the 3302 when they actually had one. By the time I got the loader setup the r14's with ballast and the 3rd function I was already getting up there on my budget. Luckily I did pretty good on selling my...

It is actually 4.5 hp. Same engine, different tune. Just a lot of money for the power difference but I wish I had it, so there is that. I run a 60" rotary and a 72" finish mower but I mow pretty high.

Went from a B2601 to a L3302 and don't regret it. The extra weight and stability is a huge factor. I would not go with the L2502 personally. Some of what I use it for is mowing our prairie restoration project and brush hogging. The B was a little down on power for the task. Even the 3302 bogs...

I bought this FZ2100 with 1200 hours for a decent price (at least for my area). Problem is there is no part # on the deck like there usually is and I can not find an option for the F2100, FZ2100, or the F2400 for a rear discharge deck. Is it normal for the rear discharge deck to have the dual...

I have a 3302 and love it. The 3902 wasn't worth the extra 4 HP for me. We mow 4 acres with it. 14 would be a lot. It is great for our chores with a bucket and grapple. I have a 7' plow I run off the front hydros for it. I couldn't go any bigger because I have a lot of trees to get in between...

L3800 Sounds nice but I am not familiar with that model as much. My problem when shopping was used just holds their value too much and the price difference wasn't enough to justify it. I ended up with the L3302 and I like it. The L2502 did not have the power I wanted after coming from a B2601...

I have had an L3302 since they first came out. Love the tractor except for the seat switch. A few people have asked about it but there has not been an answer. The 3302 has the switch in the seat so it is different than the older ones. I don't want to bypass it completely or put a toggle in. I...

Just FYI in my experience I have never had an issue with wheel ballast on my BX or B. Both were filled with Rim Guard. With the weight of these tractors the benefit is good and I never saw an issue with my lawn or property. I have very soft sandy soil in most areas here in WI.

I would stay away from the GR unless you know you are going to keep it for 20 years. The resale market is not nearly as strong as the BX lineup or similar from other makes. Messisks have a video about the death of the garden tractor. Only reason I still have one is that it is older and I can't...

Last 2 tractors I bought new due to the used market. Other one I just got lucky. Problem is if ones comes up for a decent price it will be gone in 1 hour. I have a L3302. I think the 02 is worth the upgrades anyway. If you find a 33 it may be worth considering. Same motor just different...

We have a underwriter on our policy for our tractor. Meets the requirements for Kubota loan and much cheaper. Just only covers it on my property.

True but your $20/hour is not calculating resale value. Midsize/ compact/ sub-compact tractors hold their value like no other. Add that in when you are "done" with it and it is not too bad.

Yes you need to find one already setup and ready to go. They are out there.

Here in WI it never changes unless you are just looking for a mower and nothing else. Used are impossible to find at a reasonable price. Just have to stumble upon it and snag it before someone else does. New, find it in stock at a dealer you can trust. Even with the shortages my dealer was...

Sounds like a used BX would suit your needs well. I upgraded to something larger but I wish I had the funds to keep the BX for the tasks you describe.

I am a fan of ballast in the rear tires. Have the dealer put Rimguard in for you. It is pretty inexpensive. If you want to be cheap you can fill them with RV antifreeze at home yourself. The smaller tractors can struggle with some tasks due to lack of weight, or at least make it more...

Your tasks are big enough I would get the largest tractor in your budget. I went from a BX to a B2601 to now A L3302. The B could do everything I pretty much needed but with the hills on my property it was in 4wd all the time, even mowing with the finish or brush hog. With a big 3 pt the B was...

Yeah mine was 0 for 72. Didn't we all!

Kubota is still doing 0% for 48 months or .99% for 60, and 1.99% for 72. Very low considering the current loan rates.

I went from a B2601 to an L3302 this spring. Big difference in loader and grapple work. It does everything so much easier and more stable. I need to move 26 tons of gravel this fall a decent distance and it will be much better with the L. With todays market you will do well on your 2601 and...
