Pulled the trigger....Kubota L3301.

[redbranch]

I've been doing the Great Tractor Search for awhile now. Looked at used of all colors, and in the end I decided it was best to just go new and be done with it. Couldn't beat Kubota's financing, so I told my dealer to go for it. L3301HST, with FEL and back blade. That'll get me through winter, and come spring I can shop for more toys for it. Only problem now is waiting for it to arrive! It'll be about ten days or so, and I'm worse than a little kid on Christmas Eve waiting!! The rocker pedal for the HST will take some getting used to since I've been using a New Holland that has the side by side pedals, and I'm curious about the Tier IV stuff. But I think it will be a great tractor for what I need, and can't wait to have it here.:dance1:

I just spent 2 hours on my new L3301 clearing snow off my 1/2 mile driveway. It was awesome! Mine has 22 hours on it, and I have enjoyed all 1,320 minutes of it. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I like mine.

About to head out to Tractor Supply and get some hardware to mount my LED lights that were delivered this week.

Congratulations! I have to say I am a bit jealous, as I am still in the looking stages. Spent many a weekend at auctions looking for a good deal. I may just have to pull the trigger as well. I hope you enjoy your new tractor!

Good luck with the new tractor. The back blade should work fine, unless you get hammered with snow.

Congratulations! With that tractor, FEL and a sturdy rear blade, you should be good for any snowstorm Mother Nature is likely to throw at you. :thumbsup:

Congrats. We'll need pics of course....

Congrats on the new tractor.
I just got done clearing snow. My driveway is rather steep and was anxious to try it since I loaded the tires.
Not sure if I could tall a difference due to using the loader, time will tell.
Enjoy your L-series, great tractor!

Congratulations on your new tractor, you should be able to get used to the rocker pedal in a couple of days.. At least I did. When I was doing a lot of rapid back and forth, movement, I just kept my foot flat on top of the pedal, and rocked my ankle. But when I move long distances forward, I usually dropped my heel on the floorboards and used the toe of the boot to press on the extending L portion of the pedal. Worked for me.. But then I swapped my Kubota off for a Kioti, so I am on a 2 pedal system now. Took about 2 days to get in the groove with it..:thumbsup:

I don't think it really matters that much what the system is, either works fine.. At least that was my take on it.

Pictures are almost mandatory of any new tractor. We like pictures. Sounds nice and a handy size.

Awesome! Can't wait to see the pics!

 

[redbranch]

I'll be sure to post pics as soon as it gets here....I'm very impatient! Had to borrow the neighbor's New Holland TC35D to clear snow yesterday....also a very nice tractor. But I want MINE!

There must be a run on that model. Can you post a picture too?

Agree with James on the pedal setup. I have two tractors with rocker pedals and one with side-by-side pedals. Switching back and forth between them is no problem at all. Pros and cons to both, but both work just fine.

Very nice. I don't have anything between 45 HP and 15 HP. Those look very useful.
