kubota b3030

I want to buy pallet forks for my B3030. Purpose is to move things such as logs, railroad ties etc. I will also use it to move pallets of plant shrubs etc for land scapeing. I may even move some decorative bolders. My dealer has quoted me 850.00 for quick attach forks. Is this a good price? thanks

i've seen a lot of discussion on this forum about fel loader lift capacity. it's difficult to determine what it will do for your purposes. just thought i would give you a real world example. log is solid oak and weight is unknown. loader had no problem lifting and was no problem during...

Ok, I've been reading all the posts, test driving all the contenders, haggling over prices, and I need it to end!!! Strange happenings today. I had previously tested a B3030 and L2800 side by side. That time I just moved them back and forth about 10 yards and worked the bucket, kinda got a...

I just took delivery of a new B3030 cab model with loader and snowblower When I press down on the hydro pedal it sounds like something is grinding and makes a lot of noise. Has anyone come across this problem with their B3030? It is amazing that the dealer sent this tractor in this condition...

with all factors being the same(that is, from the same dealer)does anyone know which is the more expensive tractor and by how much, the L2800 HST or the B3030. also, what should the difference be between an L2800 HST and L2800 gear. thanks

Well, I was almost ready to take delivery of my B3030 cab when I discovered the <font color="green">Bobcat Toolcat</font> (I know, it's been out for over two years, I'm slow). By chance, I was looking at the B3030 posts in this forum on Friday to read what people were saying about it and I came...

Stopped by the dealer to inspect and test drive my new B3030 before he transports it to me . 1. I noticed when in hi gear (rpms around 1500) and I step on the petal lightly to try to slightly inch forward it will lurch forward. The service manager says this is part of the design of the...

When looking at these two in comparison, it comes down to a simple question of whether I want the B3030 or B2630. For a little extra pto HP (3.5) and gross HP (4) on 3030, significant engine displacement, and minor dimension specs, I guess it boils down extra $$. Attachments with purchase of...

Is th kubota B3030 right choice? I am awaiting delivery of a B3030hst with 6ft 3pt mower, fel adn box blade. This a second tractor I also have a ford 5000 60 hp to do my heavy cutting and blade work. I have 160 acres a lot of it heavily wooded. I plan on useing the kubota for general mowing...

I am buying new B3030, hope I made right choice! I live on 160 acres and have an older ford5000 with jd709 cutter and 8ft blade. I wanted something to do my general mowing , light gradeing and fel work. I am awaiting delivery of a new B3030 with fel 6ft mower and box blade. Looking for any...

B3030 doesn\'t brake after speed pedal is released On this B3030 if I travel forward or reverse on a slope and then release the speed pedal the tractor slows down but then starts to roll down hill as if it were free wheeling. Before this tractor I had a B7800 that would stop moving even on...

After following the posts on the possible dipper problems with BH75,Should I consider another brand such as Woods,Rhino or Bradco?I know that I want a unit with a subframe rather than 3pt mounted.Any suggestions or comments would be appreciated.

I'm looking at a 3030 with LA402 FEL. I got a quote for $17,750 from Arroway in Katonah NY, which compared to $19k from Westco in Norwalk CT. The salespeople seemed knowledgable and friendly. The facilities aren't fancy but inventory seemed good. Any input on prices and the dealer would be...

Which is better for my purpose? Background: Have 10 acres of flat, Florida planted pine timberland. I have cleared about 1.3 acres for the homesite and plan to clear another 1+ acre for a covey or two of quail. Initially, I need to complete the homesite prep, spread about 20 loads of fill...

Hi Guys, I'm about to do the 50Hr service on my B3030. I looked through the manual and do not see a hydraulic screen. Just wanted to check in to see if there is anything I have missed.... I have the following, and plan to do the service this weekend: SUDT 10W-30 Oil Filter and 2 Hydraulic...

This post is a continuance of an earlier post FEL Adjustments just thought I would post a few pictures to show what I am seeing on mine and if others are experiencing this. I checked the air pressure in all the tires and checked for level of the floors and the tractor itself. Here is the first...

Would appreciate hearing from anyone with experience adding work lights to a B3030. How much current can you draw from the standard dynamo? Has anyone upgraded to the alternator? Is there an alternator kit for the B3030? I've read about the BX alternator kit but didn't find anything...

after several weeks of research, much of it at this forum, i picked up my new b3030 yesterday. got 72"mmm, la403 loader, r4's and ballast box with it. paid 19425.00. local dealer was a joke so i bought from dealer 70 miles away. very professional and helpful. moved up from jd2210 (great little...

What should the fluid level be with the backhoe? Dealer told me to retrack all cylinders and check fluid. It shows full, but under normal driving conditions, it doesn't show up on dip stick at all. Doesn't seem accurate.

My bucket was 1 1/2 inches higher on one side than the other. I put up a post and got some great answers on the fix. I told them to the dealer. He called me up, after talking to Kubota, and told me they had to come out and pickup my tractor to fix it. They picked it up, fixed it, and returned it...

\"Tool Box\" Cover on my B3030 = Joke! If I could come up with an even cheesier way to make a "tool box" cover for my B3030 than the current Kubota cover, I could maybe get rich by selling the idea to Kubota! The lid pops open if I just look at it. Call me ****, but it really bugs me! I've...

Has anyone used a set of wheel weigts on the B3030? Not sure if Kubota makes a set. Any alternative suppliers? I would like to use them in the winter for snow removal and remove them in the summer when I am mostly on the lawn. Thanks for your thoughts

Here are some accessories that I like pretty much on my B3030. First, let's talk about the loader's joystick. Last year I tried a JD (I don't remember if it was a 4115, a 4210 or a 4310) and I loved the position of the joystick. So this year when I changed for a B3030, I knew there was a remote...

B3030 - ATI/Messick\'s Grapple Setup Pictures First picture, while still at Messick's (thank you Neil for snapping pics)

First post after taking delivery of a B3030. Unit purchased with FEL,BH,6 FT Curtis PA Plow, Wallenstein 6 inch Chipper, Forks, Kubota quick attach on the loader. This is my second Kubota I also have a 1983 B7100 w/ FEL, 1Meter Tiller, and 5 foot rear mount woods mower. I have 10 hours on the...

New B3030 - my first post to Owner\'s Forum! I received my B3030 a couple weeks ago from Messick's (thanks Neil!!) and am finally getting around to posting. Here is what I got, with my thoughts on each after 10 hours of use. 1. B3030 tractor - Very glad I got the B3030 over the B7800. Three of...

I am using my 3030 on Cape Cod clearing some brush, and something must have bumped the fuel filter as it began to leak. I tightened and loosened it several times to slow the leak, which has about stopped. I looked for a fuel shut off and could not see one, and my manual is at another property...

I'd like to know why the total pump output of a B2630 is different (higher) than a B3030? B2630: 9.8 gpm B3030: 9.1 gpm I don't understand, even a B2710 has more output (9.5 gpm). I asked my dealer, but he didn't know and he didn't seem to have the will to search and get an answer. I don't...

I had to dig 100 holes to plant spruces so I used my B3030 and a RTV900. The RTV was equipped with an hydraulic bed lift. I used it to accelerate the job... no need to mention that a patch of grass (let's say 3' square) is rather heavy and pretty hard to move when wet. And I took some pictures...

About a week ago I was trenching with the hoe past a tree. I heard roots breaking as usual, but then unfamiliar clink. 10 seconds later the rod came flying out of dipper clylinder. It actually cracked in half in the cylinder and came out then. It is at the dealer now and hopefully is going to be...

My husband and I are in the market for a Kubota tractor. We have 8 acres and currently mow about 2 acres. We want a tractor with a loader and mower, and would also like to use it for plowing snow. We recently checked out and test drove the B3030 and L2800 and liked features about each of...

I am currently starting to play the pricing game on a new B2630 or B3030 with mower and backhoe. I was unofficially quoted $15,500 for the B2630 and $17,000 for the B3030 both with loader. The backhoe and finish mower were $6000 and $1800. Is this a good west coast price? I realize that these...

I just received this new tractor and I love it. I want to thank everyone for all the info I have read over the last 2 months. This was a great help in purchasing the right tractor for me. B3030HSD w/FL403 FEL and a 60" box scrape. I do need help in one area I called markham welding to order the...

I'm moving right along with my tractor search and hope to write the check sometime next week (or the week after). I've narrowed it down to the CK30HST and B3030HSD. So far the pricing is: CK30HST, R4 tires, KL130 FEL, KB2375 BH, and KMR03-60 RFM (all Kioti equipment) for $22,400. B3030HSD...

Anyone have any price information on the new B3030 4WD with the cab option? What is a good price? Thanks, Mark

I'm in the market for my first tractor and have narrowed my search down to Kubota and Kioti. I have ~20 acres. 15 are woods, ~2.5 are house/yard/driveway, and ~2.5 are field. The driveway is 440 feet long, my underground utility lines (which I must keep clean) are another 440 feet through the...

New to Tractors so not sure if my hoe dropping down some while driving is normal. I mostly do trail work and some sections and road are a little bumpy. I ususaully travel in M and after about 10-15mins the hoe drops down some. I guess if i did not pull up on the left control it would drag the...

Hi all, I'm new to the forums, having lurked for a while. I'm very close to buying a new tractor, and I've learned tons here already. The tractor I've nearly decided on is a Kubota B3030. The price I'm at is $16900 with FEL. In addition to that, I'll be getting 60" cutter $990, and a posthole...

After an incredible amount of time spent on research and comparison shopping, I finally committed and purchased a Kubota B3030 with FEL, toothbar, chain hook, HD alternator, work lights, filled R4s, brush cutter and back-blade from Neil Messick of Messick's in Elizabethtown PA. The fact that...

I am narrowing down my options and looking closely at the differences between the L3400 and B3030. I know how much more capable the L3400 is over the B3030, but I also know the L3400 is a budget model vs. the luxo B3030. Based on the quotes I have gotten the L3400 works out to be slightly...

I just completed the 50 hr service on my B3030 last weekend. I had a friend up this weekend who really knows how to operate a FEL and BH (learnt alot just watching him). However, after about an hour of use, we noticed two things. A small leak in one of the cylinders that lifts the FEL. I didn't...

Hello, This is my first post and am looking for some advice. I am in the market for a compact tractor and have prices on the models listed in the subject. THe b3030 and jd4210 are within a few hundred dollars of each other. The b2630, which the dealer tells me is more comparable to the 4210...

Just recieved my B3030 this weekend. Everything was going fine until I blown the 5 amp opc fuse, which shuts the tractor off immediately. I replaced the fuse and the tractor runs fine, until I hit the hydro and the thing blows again. Any ideas??? Looks like its headed back to the dealer...

Can anyone compare the advantages and disadvantages of the NH TC33DA (or TC29DA) with the Kubota B3030? I want a tractor that works well for mowing but also has enough power to do some trail building and logging with a FEL and some brush hogging and some tilling from time to time. I am attracted...

Has anyone completed the 50hr service on their 3030 yet? I'm tackling mine this weekend. I've read what I could find on similar Kubota models to arm myself, but can't find anything on the B3030. I'm wondering if there is anything I should be aware of, or any problems you may have encountered...

I have been following the discussions for some time, but this is my first post. Here's my dilemma. I have 80 acres that is mostly wooded, but also with some untended open grassy and brushy areas. The most predictable use of a new tractor would be for finish mowing areas totaling approximately...

First of all - this is a great site. I just wish it were easier to post and that the subject line wasn't so short. Given how much this site has helped me, I felt I should post my decision process. I sold a Kubota B8200 with a FEL (49" bucket) and a Backhoe (6') I wanted a tractor with a...

After a year of searching, study, and saving... I am a Kubota owner! I am taking delivery of my B3030 this week, and have a ton of projects planned. I am unclear on the proper break in? I am curious what all of you did? Mainly, how many hours on the machine until you worked it hard?

72\"MMM for B3030 Has anyone bought/used the new RCK72-30B mower deck for a B3030? I feel a little funny buying a tractor model I haven't been able to test drive, much less cut some grass with. Still no dealers in my have a B3030 or B2630 assembled. After reading some posts on R4s vs Turfs, I...

Wondering if this is normal or if I have a hydraulic leak somewhere.. I have a tight spot where I park by B3030 with FEL and BH75 so I have to park it with the BH boom up (bucket is down and curled but not on the ground). After its parked if I come backa few hours later, the boom has lowered...

I just sold my Cub 7234 gear drive and am now ready to join the world of hydro drive. Unless something else really catches my eye, it looks like I'll order either a B2630 or a B3030. My old Cub had a 20hp PTO and the 2630 has a 19.5hp PTO. I would like to get a new light duty 60" rotary mower...

I went back to my dealer Friday to ask my salesman if I could switch to turfs (I had originally asked for R4's). I was pleasantly surprised to find that they had put together the second B3030 cab that they had received, and this one had turf tires. I was expecting that the turfs would be less...

Hello all: Coming over from the Deere discussions b/c I can't find the right tractor or price for me. I have 10.1 acres in Northern Vermont, mainly wooded with a ski trail going through that I maintain with neighbors. A lot of downed wood to clean up from the lot clearing up to 24-36in...

Raining today so unfortunately can't go play. Bought it from mark@stateequipment.com in WV -- highly recommended. Very responsive, excellent price, very honest dealer. I live 5+ hrs away and they just delivered it along with several pieces of equipment for it. Very happy. Enjoy the pics!

Ok, we're down to a two tractor race and I'm aking for help or at least some pro/con on either of these two tractors. I have pastures to mow and 10 acres of woods that need work. I have logs to cut and drag, some hoe work (tend to buy one with the tractor), FEL work (maintain gravel drive) and a...

I saw my B3030 at the dealer's lot today! The FEL isn't here yet and since I didn't get any forewarning that it was coming, we just ordered the ATI skid steer QA and the ATI bucket and pallet forks. I forgot to ask him if the TnT valves and cylinders are in. Looking at it in person it seems...

in my long on going quest for a machine, i think i'm finally getting closer. i was looking at the 3 above mentioned models. seems like the 3030 and the 7800 are pretty much the same tractor except the 3030 has the more delux features. i was able to try out the 7800 in the dealers lot it felt...

Here it is coming off the truck

Well I have a few hours on the B3030 and one thing I noticed about this machine is there seems to be some vibration in the wheel and in the HST pedal. It doesn't seem to straighten out like the 3 cylinders do when you rev them up. It does some but not like you think it should. I noticed also...

Forgive my ignorance on this topic. I've read in various posts here that the B3030 does not have a foot clutch, but instead has a had operated electric or hydraulic (can't remember which) clutch. Henro has voiced concerns about operating a PHD with this type clutch, and I agree with him...

News Flash, The <font color="red"> </font> B3030HSDC is being shipped from the factory as this is written. Should show up at dealers that ordered them early next week. Mine is scheduled to arrive at dealer Monday or Tuesday with me having it in my hands on Thursday. That is all for now...

Well we finally took delivery of our new B3030 today. Got to tinker a little and moved a little dirt. Its really a nice machine. Here it is on the truck.

Been checking out some new tractors and it's come down between a L2800 or a B3030. First off I have a B2910 with 1200 hours on it and have had no complaints with it other than the three broken front hubs which were taken care of under warranty. I use my tractor in my lawn install business to put...

Still needs to get all the implements attached, and delivered from WV to here (250 miles or so). But thar she is!

Tried searching but couldn't find the info -- what would the minimum trailer length be to carry a B3030 w/FEL & Backhoe (with nothing hanging over the trailer end)? Thanks Also can anyone recommend a good dealer for trailers in the midatlantic area?

My dealer came to my house this afternoon and installed my Kubota quick hitch for the FEL, the toothbar, and welded 3 hooks on the top of my bucket. It sure makes it easy to get the bucket off. What are some of the options, other than forks, that I can use on the front end?

At last my baby is home. It arrived today and I took a pic of it before it touches the ground.

Stylin\' my (soon to be) new B3030... How come Kubota doesn't offer options like this? BEFORE: AFTER:

I'm going around and around trying to decide which tractor would be best for me -- a B3030 or an L3400. I want it to handle my Bush Hog SQ600 5-foot rotary cutter (to mow about two miles of mostly grassy trails; not much real brush), move snow with a FEL and a 5-foot rear blade, and pull a...

I think I have decided on purchasing the B3030 and wanted to get some input on the price I was given. Here's the breakdown: B3030 with R-4 's (Loaded with washer fluid) 403 Loader with Kubota Quick Attach and Toothbar (Woods or Tisco) Kubota Quick Attach Pallet Forks BH75 Backhoe 60 inch Rear...

Has anyone got their quick hitch for the bucket on their B3030 yet?

Shopping for my first saw and was impressed by above. Will be clearing land previously logged so hauling, keeping up gravel drive, mowing and general property care (100 acres mostly forested but about 8 acres of field and lawn to keep in shape, plus seed fertilize fields manure wagon (couple of...

While working on road, had a chance to check out Bahrns Equipment, in Effingham Ill today, they had a new B3030, on the floor.

At last... it will be home tomorrow morning. I had a very difficult choice to make... to be or not to be?... no I mean with or without cab? Oufff... great cab but no BH75 compatible. And I need, more or less, to be low profile to cut grass below some trees. Too bad for my snowblower...

I was down at a Kubota dealer today and notice a B2630 with turfs. The rear tires were about a half inch from the inside wheel well. The tires appear to bowl out more than some of the other tires on a B7800 for example. Has anyone else noticed this? Is there a solution? Are spacers a...

Is it better to load the tractor on backward or forward? I will have the bucket and the 5' rotary cutter on it. I have a 20' flatbed, last two feet dovetailed. Should I put blocks under the rear of the trailer to support it?

Got that on Kubota USA website... sorry guys.

During a visit to a dealer I was able do some comparisons between a B7800, B2910 and B3030. These are just My opinions after about a 30 minute visit. My visit was to determine if a 403 loader will fit my 402 FEL attachments. They will not. Loader arms are closer by 3 3/8". *A B7800 was setting...

Are these tractors equivalent in size and weight? Or is the Kubota a lighter tractor? Thanks,Tony

I took delivery of a new 3030 yesterday, and when I started using it, I was surprised that the loader will not lift the front wheels off the ground as my old Masey-Fergussen To30 will do. When I use down pressure the front wheels will come up slightly, but not enough to raise them with any...

I ordered my B3030 with a quick coupler BL1767 for the FEL but I read on TBN that there's another quick coupler available: B2365. My dealer didn't inform me about that second one. I'd like to have more information on this B2365. BL1767 fits a LA402 FEL... Of course, if possible and if there's...

Well, the sightings and deliveries of B3030's are piling up, but what about the cab version? Has anyone seen, or gotten a cab model yet? I have mine on order and my dealer was expecting delivery around the middle of April, but we're close to there now and he hasn't heard anything yet. But the...

IT CAME IN LAST WEDNESDAY. NICE UNIT. LOADER LOOKS GOOD. STILL WAITING FOR TOOTHBAR AND QUICK HITCH TO THE LOADER. I HAVE GOT LOTS TO LEARN. I PRACTICED TAKING OFF THE ROTARY CUTTER AND PUTTING ON THE BLADE. ONCE YOU DO IT A FEW TIMES, IT GOES QUICKLY. CAN'T WAIT TO GET IT TO THE FARM. IT WILL...

Does someone know when B3030 will be delivered to dealers? I'm still waiting to see a real one to pull the trigger. My dealer got a B2630 last week but no B3030. The B2630 was in a crate... doesn't look like a tractor, that's for sure. He told me the first two was supposed to be there last...

I've been looking at the BX23 and B3030 recently. I really like the specs and features of the 3030 but the price is a hard sell to my better half I saw a few threads about someone's BH75 and breaking a tooth or two. I really like the 4pt hitch on the BH75. It looked like a solid desgn to me...

I'm down to the final days before buying. Please review the attachment which shows the differences between models. The comparisons between back hoe and loader are below: Manufacturer: John Deere Model Loader: 300CX Lift capacity (pivot): 1598 lbs Lift capacity: 1122 lbs Model Backhoe...

I just went to the Kubota site to look at the 72" MMM again and found this <font color="orange">NEW LINK</font> to the cab model! Since I hear that Kubota doesn't like to post the new models until they're at or near the dealers, they must be getting close! If you're wondering about all the...

My dealer can't get the L3400HST. They are on hold for delivery due to a PTO problem which I read about on another post. No timetable as of today. He has some B3030's coming in and wants me to consider the 3030 instead of the 3400. I like the size of the 3400 and just not sure about the smaller...

How would these two tractors stack up against each other? I will be using it to maintain my 7 acres (5 acres of lawn to mow/ 2 acres wooded). I have many hills on my property. Tractor will also be used to clear brush and landscaping. Also, will dig up stumps with bachoe attachment and dig...

Has anyone seen a B3030 at their dealer yet?

Just came back from my local dealer where I put my deposit down on a B3030-HSDC. It's one of two units he had on order and they expect to get it around mid April. It's been a long six months of research and bouncing around between different models, but I'm there! Thanks for all the great...

Anyone know what the B3030 TLB start at. I like the B7800 but was wondering if I will like the full time live rear pto or not?

All- The more I look, the more confused I get. Not too long ago I was all set to get the L3130. Then I became fearful that it would be underpowered for its weight, and I began considering the L3430. After considering what I would use it for, I thought maybe I could step down to the B series...

Hello, The one area of the B3030 i wish was a little better , the 403 loader lift capability. Does anyone know if it would be possible to put a woods 1012 loader on the B3030. The actual weight of the loaders are similar, but the woods is capable of a 1380lb lift compared to a 900 on the...

Hi folks, called the local Kubota dealer today and was given A price on the following package: B3030 R4 tires LA403 loader BH75 backhoe/ with 13" bucket $22,500 + tax Is this A fair price? He wont have any until March. The only thing about the tractor that seems...

This is nit picky stuff, but I'm curious just the same. I just noticed that the Kubota spec sheet for the new B3030/B2630 models has suffixes as "HSD" and "HSDC" (for the cab) instead of "HST" as it has been with older models. I assumed it was "T" as in hydrosTatic. Anybody know what the...

I was reading about the Mid-Mount Mower on the Kubota web site and I wanted to ask if anybody knows what this feature means: "The 72" deck has the drive-over feature for easy installation and removal" Also, does anybody know what the height of the Cab model is? Kubota is still not listing any...

Hello new to room here, Im looking for advise from other B2910 or 7800 owners for the capabilites of this tractor. I live in the Upstate Ny area, Have 5 1/2 acres of various terrain to maintain. I have many stumps to remove, a stream bed to clear , drag several trees, clean up of a pond area...

I ordered a B3030 HSD-F, 60" FEL with quick hitch, and a 5' rhino rotary cutter, all for $17,120. I hope this is a good price. I am new to this game. I have learned so much from this forum. I thank all of you for your knowledge. I bought 135 acres 1 year ago, of which I will work about 20 acres...

I visited my friendly Kubota dealer today and he gave me the brochure for new B Series Kubotas. One thing I didn't know is that the B3030 is available with a factory cab. The first in it's size class, and the new BH75 Backhoe, which is a subframe mount. I can't tell if the backhoe runs off the...

I just spent about 30 minutes with my Kubota dealer, here is what I came away with. 1- There will be a price increase around the first of the year, about 3%, it will not affect the newly introduced models. 2- Kubota expects another record breaking sales year. 3- Pricing on the new B3030...

Our local Kubota dealer is in Orlando this week at the regional Kubota equipment meeting. I called him a couple of weeks ago to have him price out the new 2005 B3030 HST with the LA403A loader for me as we'd like to trade in our old M-F 1030 HST on this model. He is going to get back with me...
