I know this is old, but I just saw this. My L3800 is very quiet, just motor noise and a very little normal gear/trans whine in 7th & 8th.

This ("failed" Kubota) in the title might have been part of the cause. 'Failed maintenance' of said Kubota might have eased tensions... ;) But you did cover that too... Tex, I do appreciate the good info!

Not just for looks... The square hood on our old L3750 is so large, it's hard to see what the loader is doing. Much easier to work with the L3800, where you can see the loader while sittin in the seat. ;)

Yep, I also lean toward previous owner operator era. Our 28 year old L3750 is still on it's original clutch. Welcome to the Orange site. Hopefully it'll pick up more around here. :D

Glad ya got it fixed! Wounder if the previous owner didn't know how to use a clutch, or just bad parts?

Have ya talked to the dealer about it?

I do get a little tingle when I see a nice old square hood L model, but the look of these new ones is growin on me. I miss my old L245, but I like the L3800 a whole more!!! :cool:

Homefront, this just goes to show why companies make so many diff models that overlap, or seem too close to each other. Something for everyone. :)

Are you sure you don't have to use the clutch? Never had one like that, but have read about them. Glide Shift I thing it's called? Sounds like you'll need to go into the trans and replace a gear.

Chainsaws; I use as small and light a saw as I can get the job done with, but I like power. Husqvarna 346XP is my favorite, this saw cuts faster than most sub-60cc saws, but is smaller and lighter as well. I'm a saw nut and have too many saws! But that's another story...:) Outboards; When I...

Carl, that is Very Nice, Man!!! The L3800 is one fine looking rig!!!

The bottom line is a big part of the big picture. :cool: Over the years, I've found it better and not that much more expensive to go with the highest HP in the same size class. This is with tractors, chainsaws and outboard motors mostly.

That's Nice! I had an old L245 for years and wish now I'd kept it for a restore project.

Not much when looking at the long term big picture... :cool:

I had to hang weight all over my old 2wd L245 to use a 5' rotary mower and a big box blade. Wheel weights on all fours and a couple hundred lbs on the front. Heck of a tough little tractor, 20 years and a few thousand hours.... I miss it.

More power, man!!! :cool: How much more money is the L3800, over the L3200?

Good to know. Thanks!

Cool, I just got off mine, grading the 1 mile drive. It sure gets the job done! :cool:

Welcome and congrats on getting some Orange. Good stuff! :D

Most have a front-end loader and the front tires needs more plys for the extra weight. Congrats, nice tractor! I love mine!
