    l2501 or l3301 digs better

    You will not notice any difference between the HP while using the BH the only time you will notice is when you are using your PTO. Bush Hogging with a big bush hog and going up hill with tall grass, will be the only time you notice. But with all that said, I have never herd any one tell me...

    New Purchase

    Awesome deal. You will love the back hoe. That is the same back hoe that goes on the L series tractors. They run about 7,000.00 Just for the back hoe.

    The Land Pride 1672 is not heavy duty enough for the size tractor you are getting. I have that exact mower and have already bent the metal flanges that the 3 pt hitch connects to. Land Pride rates the 1672 for 15 - 30 HP tractors. You will do better with the FDR 2572 that is a 15 - 50 HP...

    Thinking of trading/selling my L3800 for LS XR4046 with a Cab.

    Moving and getting dirt. But I have talked to a couple of folks about changing brands and I was lectured about the value that Kubota provides. Not only is my tractor reliable but it holds its value. If I was to go to another brand especially a brand that has unknown value or reliability I...

    Thinking of trading/selling my L3800 for LS XR4046 with a Cab.

    The title says it all. I so wish I had a bigger tractor and a cab. Also I want my top link to be hydraulic. Another screw up on my part was I did not get the quick attach bucket. To add the hydraulic top link and the quick attach bucket would cost over 2,000. Also I feel as though the...

    What would be a good price for L2501HST

    http://www.dubberlytractor.com/default.htm I think price is somewhat based on type and brand of implements you get and were you live in the U.S. https://steenent.com/

    L3800 Price

    I can't stand them stinkin payments either. But most folks that buy their tractors new don't buy them with cash. If you try and get a loan from the bank for a used tractor your interest rate would be around 7%. Over 5 years 7% interest on $17,000 is $3,200. So I think one would do better to...

    L3800 Price

    I was looking at getting a cab model and I was going to trade in my 2013 L3800 with HST and loader, 4x4 ect. Trade in value was 13,500. I decided I would keep my tractor. I see a lot of 5 to 10 year old Kubota tractors in the 35 hp range on Craigs list and they are asking 12,000 to 15,000. I...

    Congrats on your new tractor. I also ordered the right grab handle for my L3800. I am sure you will get many years of fun -- I mean work out of your new machine.

    Thought I'd pass this along...

    Just order 1 for me and 1 for my father in law. I was hoping to give it to him for Christmas but it looks like I could not ship it faster than standard shipping. Any how I am sure we will love it if it works as advertised.

    SURVEY: Chattering 3 Point (going up)

    I have the l3800 HST. I also have the jerky three pnt. hitch. I have not tried to resolve it but I have notice that it is less jerky as it breaks in. Mine is not as bad as yours. I would assume that all dealers know about this issue. It seems that some people are able to get a resolution...

    OEM replacement costs

    I second the saw saw. Never ever put your chain saw threw any kind of dirt or it will ruin the bar and chain. Even dirt covered wood will destroy a brand new chain. Saw Zaw all the way for roots and anything below ground. Good luck to all.
