My first tractor - Need guidance

[chunk]

I didnt drive mine. Thought about it later lol....7 year warranty. I wanted a cab 3310 i think thats a sweet machine. My wife though will be helping and wanted the cab and heat.
So i bought what they had. I love the tractor im sure you will too. Congrats !!!

That’s awesome your wife will help you on the tractor! I can’t even get my wife to drive the lawn tractor we have! (I don’t trust her with it anyway).

Mine helps with farm stuff and yard work but only on the ground and she doesn’t like to use power equipment. So she’s out there with the wheelbarrow shovel and the loppers lol

Im very excited to get the tractor. I have a big front yard of nice looking grass I keep mowed with my zero turn, but the rest of the property looks like crap and it’s been driving me nuts!! I can’t wait to mow it and maintain it!

I just helped my neighbor install one inch spacers on his L3901. Kubota dealer told him you cannot put spacers on or the warranty will be voided.

I told him to call the dealer back and ask them why the spacers show as an option on the Kubota build site and why Neil talks about installing them in one of his videos.

They ordered him the wheel spacers. Needed the one inch for clearance of the rear tire chains.

Unfortunately, many businesses "blow smoke" when they simply don't know or care about a particular customer issue.

Thats sweet on the property. I love mowing and doing yard work myself. My wife worked running a overhead crane moving 60k pound steel coils and even ran a small locomotive to bring in rail road cars dropped at thier spur. She will not though cut grass. She helps me though while im doing the manusl labor.
Ohh and she lives to run the handle on log splitter. Lol my old ass picking everything up.
Shes great though. 5 foot 2 but helps anyway she can. Both retired now, so everything helps. I think you will love that unit. I have Dr walk behind, Dr self powered pull behind cutter and my tractor rotary cutter. Guess wich i dont use. Lol....gonna clean out my barn this spring, hoing out of walking behind shit sale.
You wont regrett investing in that tractor.it will help sooo many ways you havent even though of yet.

Financing has been approved. Now I have to wait 2-3 weeks to get the tractor.

I guess I can now say I own a KUBOTA L3301! Feels good!

Thank you all very much for your help!!

Congratulations.

Not that it matters now, but you could drive a L25,33,3901 and see the size. They are all the same frame size.

Yes, that is true.

Congratulatios! When I bought my first, it was a very big financial deal for me, and I was nervous about the spending; however, once the tractor was here and being used, I realized about ten times more chores it could help. I can't imagine bring without a tractor now.

Wow....never knew that. Agree on the package deals. Im not a Landrpride fan. Bought a Rhino heavy duty box blade new at a plain implement dealer saved 30 percent over much lighter Landpride from the dealer.
Kubota is awesome brand but not all dealers are the same was more my point.

Landpride has both light and heavy duty implements. They definitely sell box blades as heavy built as the Rhino, but maybe your dealer doesn’t stock them?

Yeah, they just had the lighter duty ones. The 1 i bought is all 1/2 inch plate. The Landpride was 1/4 inch with some 3/8 areas. I didnt want to have issues. Never heard of Rhino till
I called around. Was also way less expensive.
I paid 1800.00 for 6 ft. I think the lighter duty Landpride was 2600. The heavy duty one was 3500. So.......easy decision.

When I bought my rear blade I wanted the heavy duty Landpride, but they only had the 7’ in stock and I wanted the 8’. I bought a Bison blade that is very heavy duty, but it cost the same as the Landpride.

I haveva old Ford backblade that is a tank. I needed a box for several.projects plus maintaining 600 feet of gravel driveway. I had people tell me Everything Attachments but i called, 8 months behind on orders. My projects i want done this soring and summer.
Wasnt going to buy cheap King Kutter.
I like this Rhino. Ive thumped on it and its fine so far. Only complaint is only 3 holes on the scarcifiers for adjustment. Looking for post hole auger next.

Rhino make good heavy implements for sure. I didn’t buy a box blade for my new tractor. I found the I can do a better job maintaining my gravel roads and ditches (1/2 mile) with my offset rear blade.

Wow.....long way. I need to learn more on this stuff. Freaks me seeing the gravel accumulate like im digging to much. I thought about grabbing the old Ford blade. I dug a lil ditch area by angling the box blade. Worked really well on permiter of drive. It is not a level drive by design. I gotba concrete guy out here. He never even submitted a quote. My property is hilly. Drive has been here since 68 with house. Tired of adding more. So trying the box blade diggging recycling thing.

I offset and tilt the blade to clean the gravel from the ditches and pull it back on the road. Then just angle the blade and hold it just at ground level to cut and fill the bumps and holes. For the final pass I turn the blade around 180 degrees with a slight angle and float the blade on the road. The final pass with the blade floating and not cutting is what makes the gravel surface flat and smooth.

Thanks makes sense. I get a lot of grass in mine to. I even looked at an Dr driveway groomer once. Basicly box blade for utv.
The smotthing is what i need work on. Thoughtbabout a harrow drag even.

Just turn the moldboard on your blade around backwards and float it. See how that works for you. It’s great for final leveling of gravel. I also plow snow that way - it doesn’t disturb the gravel.

I swapped the rear blade in the package deal out for a box blade. I have to maintain my driveway too. Lots of gravel runs off of it into the side ditch. Hopefully I can pull it out with the box blade and won't have to buy a rear blade. Thanks for the conversation about the subject. It's something I am interested in learning about.
