    Better traction on a B3000

    will I be able to pull that info off the tires themselves? I'll get whatever the tire stamp is and post here.

    Better traction on a B3000

    My cost came to $400 for parts/fluid/labor. I didn't break it down, but it sounded pretty good for my B3000 from what I've seen elsewhere. I AM paying an extra $160 for pickup and delivery, but I don't have a vehicle or trailer (yet) capable of towing the tractor, hence why I decided to get the...

    Better traction on a B3000

    Ok, so went my usual route, and prolly overdid it. :) Having the local Kubota dealer fill tires with RimGuard, and while she's in the shop, having them do the first service on it to ensure everything is clean. This tractor is new (to me) so figured this would be a great time to find any issues...

    Buy information on a B3000 (EDIT)

    Got it for $14,500. Friend, neighbor price. Had a buddy that does heavy equipment repair look it over, and he said aside from needing basic maintenance (air cleaner, change oil, change hydraulic filters) it looks good. Thinking I got a pretty good deal.

    Buy information on a B3000 (EDIT)

    So, what would be a reasonable offer for a tractor like this. Shows 1347 hours (if my eyes don't deceive me again), AC works well, everything seems solid. I don't have a ton of land, but it'll work my little 10 acres just fine I think.

    Buy information on a B3000 (EDIT)

    Looking at a pretty clean tractor with R3000 in black letters on the hood, and can't find anything about it. Any help greatly appreciated.
