    Upgrading ? LX or L series

    My B rad R4. My L3302 has the R14. I love them. I have big hills and they can be sandy. Good traction and I don't use it a ton in winter but should be better.

    Upgrading ? LX or L series

    Most of the smaller tractor emission issues is user related. If you idle it around or only use the RPM you think you need you are doing the tractor a disservice. Same goes for letting it idle for extended periods. Run it at the recommended RPM and you will be fine.

    Auction Result (A Tell?)

    Always seems to me the larger equipment is a tougher market. The subcompact / compact market has been overinflated for many years before the pandemic. That is why I bought new the last 2 times. I could not justify the cost of a used machine that was 5-10 years old when a new one with...

    Upgrading ? LX or L series

    I have the L3302 and upgraded from a B2601. Night and day. For your work you want the L for the extra weight and lenght. Even without the horsepower portion it was a much larger upgrade than expected. Much easier to do bucket work and does it with ease. Rarely use 4wd on my property where...

    New Tractor 5 acres

    I went from R4 to the R14. I am happy with my decision and they have not seen winter yet. Our property has a lot of sand and woods. I feel the R14's have more traction in the loose stuff. I don't use it a ton in winter but the R4's were pretty poor.

    Stealerships

    Sounds like you just need to take you business elsewhere. When I buy my implements I go to the dealer I have been using because I know there price will be fair. I didn't price shop my new Kubota I figured since they had it in stock I was not going to argue over maybe $100 knowing I will get...

    Looking for advice on rear remotes setup for L3902...

    As far as the 3rd function my dealer doesn't charge labor on a new tractor so it was easier to have it set up right away for the grapple, plus no additional trip to the dealer. The connectors are no big deal they should match them to the 3rd function for you. I upgraded my tractor and the...

    Frustration with waiting on new Kubota order

    From what I read there are no changes at this time for CA compact tractors. Buying sight unseen on new equipment does not scare me as it will be under warranty from Kubota. As far as shipping, the dealers usually work with shipping companies and many times those rates will be lower than using...

    New Tractor 5 acres

    I forgot to mention I love my grapple. My forest is overgrown. I make huge piles and then just clean them up with the grapple. Way easier than forks for that task. Easier to add the 3rd function from the get go. No labor cost and it's already at the dealer.

    Frustration with waiting on new Kubota order

    Best suggestion is call around and look at dealer websites. My dealer in WI as of a few days ago had L3302 and L3902 in stock with loaders. Several LX's in but waiting for loaders and they had some others too....

    Looking to buy a new L3902HST or the 3902DT….opinions?

    Have the L3302HST and love it. I would never go gear. My dealer would have to special order one as he has not sold one in years. I would step up to the next model if HP was an issue to keep the HST. Whine doesn't bother me anyway. I way noise cancelling earbuds, I like my hearing.

    Insurance value vs. Replacement Value

    With the economy the way it is, used tractor prices are very high in most areas. This will help your value if you were to suffer a total loss. You don't have to take the 1st number the insurance company gives you.

    Frustration with waiting on new Kubota order

    I walked into the dealer in May to inquire about and L. They had a few 3302 and 3902 in stock with loaders and the 3rd function was in stock. I ordered it that day. They come in batches it seems. Now dealer has some LX's again but supply chain issues with the loaders.

    New Tractor 5 acres

    I have a wooded property with large hills. Went from a BX to a B2601. Awesome little tractor but even will filled tires I was always in 4wd. Upgraded to L3302 and it does all of the same work in 2wd. The extra power was worth it too. The B2601 ran my brush hog and finish mower ok but the L...

    Frustration with waiting on new Kubota order

    Buying a tractor is no different than a car/truck right now. Everyone is behind in production. The issue with waiting is the tractor may come in without the loader if you ordered one. I would search dealer inventory in the area and see what is around. I have not had good luck in the used...

    New tractor purchase

    Seems like you should call around and find one. Also when I bought my other one last spring my dealer said I would get the offer even if it expired before delivery.

    ‘72 L175 w/box and loader Purchase- good deal?

    Easiest way with old diesels is to just look up and engine # part guide and find the part # and good it. Chances are the more was used in other things and a lot of times there is a ton of crossover parts.

    Frustration with waiting on new Kubota order

    My L3302 purchase went like this 2 months ago. Do you have an L3302? Yes. Do you have the loader? Yes. Do you have the 3rd function kit? Yes. Well crap I guess I am buying it.

    Kubota KTAC Insurance

    Yes you can get much cheaper rates through your homeowners insurance policy but it will only cover it on your property and will have more limitations than KTAC. I use my homeowners because my tractor stays on my property and saves a lot of money.

    New tractor purchase

    Picked up my 3302 a month ago. Over 10 hours now and loving it. I came from a B2601 and I don't regret going with the 33 at all. The horsepower and torque is worth the emissions, hands down. It is only supposed to regen every 50 hours, and if you are using it as designed you will have no...
