Tractor
Kubota L3200 HST
After many months of looking at every make of tractor in the 30-38 Hp range :confused2:, and reading everything I could find about my short list, I finally pulled the trigger today :cool2:. I got me a Kubota L3200HST, with R4 tires, FE loader, 5ft Shredder, 6ft box blade, and 6ft tiller. I will be picking her up on Wednesday, and I think I am going to have a hard time sleeping between now and then. I already have many hours of work to put some hours on her, and I just feel like a kid waiting for Xmas morning :D. I will post pics once she gets home.

Congratulations! :thumbsup: A real time and back saver that can also be enjoyable and it's a "pretty" color if your going to refer to it as "her" and "she".:laughing:

Congratulations on your new tractor, I usually take the manual to read while waiting on delivery, so I'll be good to go when it arrives, it will also help understand the delivery instructions and maybe raise a question or two.

Funny how buying something like that can make a guy feel, and then smile when you get to run it afterwards. Congrats!

I had to wait one more day, they didn't want to rush putting it together after removing it from the crate, but here she is! I've already put a little over an hour on it moving dirt to fix my driveway.

There is something about owning your own tractor... no matter the size. I am still giddy after 9 months and 130+ hrs on my BX.

Congrats! I know the feeling. Just picked up a new to me L4330 over the weekend after searching for over a year. Ran it all weekend and then waxed it....... :licking:

Enjoy. I know you will.

:drink:

We picked up out L3200 last fall. FEL with QD, brush mower, box scraper and back blade. I grilled the salesman and got free worklights on the ROPS, wheel spacers, loaded tires and hooks on the bucket tossed in for very cheap. I smile every time I fire it up. There is something so much more pleasant about not manually than hauling 23 wheel barrows of dirt across a field.

The hitchy hydraulics are a common gripe and my only complaint. I bought a right side grab handle because it was better than grabbing the fender.

Well I've already put 22 hours on my baby, and they haven't been easy ones. I fixed my washed out driveway the first day, and then I cleared the far side of our property. Knocking down trees, digging up stumps, and then ran the tiller over the area to loosen up the soil for grass seed. Now I'm working on the other side of our property, to get it cleaned up also. I have been really impressed with how much power this little tractor has, and it is very maneuverable in the trees. I am convinced I made the right choice!!

Good looking tractor. How does it do with the tiller? I'm thinking about getting one and was leaning towards a 5' so that my dad could use it behind his tractor also. What is your pto hp?

It runs the 6ft Tiller just fine, but I have very sandy soil also. It never bogged down while running it, I just took it slow. The L3200 HST lists a PTO HP of 25.2, and seemed like it had plenty to spare. I just finished adding the right side grab handle to the fender, and putting on a pair of Ken's Bolt On Hooks. I'm loving this Tractor!
