kubota l3800

The LA463 and LA524 are very similar in specs so I suspect there will not be a noticeable difference between the two in actual use. Since the LA463 fits the new machines and is so close in specs to the LA524, I'm not sure why Kubota introduced the 524. Can anyone comment on this? A Kubota...

I've hit the 50 hour mark and need to decide whether or not to perform the service myself, or bring the tractor to the dealer. Anyone know about how much the 'service' runs? If you've done it yourself, how much cash for supplies? I'm looking to do what the manual recommends for the first 50 hour...

Ok, so I'm back to work these days and have decided that at age 50 I don't care for doing FEL/boxblade work or mowing with a non-synchro shuttle trans and trans driven PTO. I'm looking to get a machine in the same weight and HP range, with a live PTO and HST, that will also handle my BH80-X...

Due to the fact that my hydro likes to walk when parked, can someone tell me how to adjust the brake to add more bite when its set? Thank you.

So my dealer is going to install the Grand L valve for free under warranty in my 2011 L3800 but they said there is 2 different part numbers for the grand L valve and they dont know which on to order Can some of the kubota Guru's help me out and tell me what the part number is so i can get this...

Looking for my first tractor. Use: 100acres mostly wooded, 800 ft gravel driveway, pond that occasionally needs clearing, 5acres for pasture/ brush hog, fertilizer and seeding. Lots of logging roads that could use some help. I think the too wet and soft to use tractor on 4 acres of lawn that...

I have been looking at tractors for a while and decided on a Kubota 4WD I just can't decide between the l3200HST and the l3800HST. I will be using a 5' cutter and a 5 1/2' 16/18 disk. The question I have is would there be any noticeable difference in these two tractors using those implements...

Dealer brought her down today. What a rig. Went over the machine and implements for over an hour. Had him show me how to detach and reattach backhoe and loader. Then the necessary but not so fun part took place :drool:, check changed hands. Well ... Had an hour of seat time - oh man, got a lot...

After many hours doing research on tractors on the net and especially reading through dozens of posts on TBN to educate myself I finally did it. Bought a tractor - my first one - which at present I'm still overwhelmed from. Well, I read on one thread here that the more seat time one accumulates...

So yesterday I got my first tractor/FEL w/ trailer, box blade, post hole digger, and mower. Yup, great day and I'm surprised at how fast all the controls come natural to the driver (especially someone as dumb as me). So I mowed some yesterday in a grass field but after noticed the blades were...

So I've had my L3800 for a week now and it has all of 3 hours on it. BTW, I'm very happy. I'm already salivating over the idea of adding a grapple and have been pouring over the threads on TBN related to grapples and hydraulics. A diverter is fine, but I'm most interested in the option of...

My brother, in typical fashion, must order a larger Kubota than my B2620. And hence, the L3800 Any red flags from your research? His use would include: Digging, maintaining a large pond (with the assistance of a crane) Maintaining 13 acres Some hobby farming Wood hauling General 'I'm cooler...

I REALLY need some help. I am completely confused as to what size tractor to buy. I am looking at the l3800 and l4600, but can't decide. I have 17 acres with 2 acre pond. I will be mowing 7 acres, tilling 1 acre and doing miscellaneous "man" things with my tractor. I want a tractor that can...

Does anyone know the overall length of an L3540 or L3800 with the FEL down and a BH77/92 attached in the transport position? Thanks

Hi there. I'm fairly new to this board and a tractor noob (first tractor I've run is the 1942 Farmall H that came with the property). I found the board while researching the possible purchase of a tractor to replace the perpetually in need of repair Farmall. The information has been very...

Does anyone get smoke stains on their FEL from the exhaust? I noticed the left side of my FEL arm close to the exhaust has black smoke stains. Is this normal? I also noticed that I am low on SUDT. This is the second time I had to top it off with a good quart or so to get the site glass to the...

Anyone using wheel weights on their L3800? Besides, loading the tires, I was wondering if wheel weights would be worthwhile. They are a little pricey.:( Are there any aftermarket mfg. or would this be a Kubota only item? I intend on building a 3PH counter weight, for most loader work...

Having trouble finding that cover on the right side of the flywheel the manual is talking about, and just exactly what they are talking about on this second part of adjustment. Can anyone give me some pointers. Thanks.

Hello everyone this is my first post but I have been a surfer for a long time. I am looking to buy a kubota L3800 with a 524 loader, bh77 backhoe, a land pride rcr1860 slip clutch brush hog, and a land pride Rta1258 tiller. The best cash price I could get here locally is 29,500 for the package...

I purchased 7.5 acres of unimproved land in Aug 09 and had a buddy bring out his big kabota of 72hp out and make a path/ driveway and 2 1/2 acre clearing spots which I covered all his diesal from home and back, provided all food n drinks and haven't ever seen him since. We've been clearing the...

I have a six foot Bush Hog Squealer. I was wondering if it will be too heavy for a L3800. I am only mowing light pasture, so I wouldn't think HP would be an issue, just the weight. Opinions? Bill

Today i ordered an L3800 gear fel 4x4 r4s is 17500 a good deal or not

Need advice about this grapple. Found the add and talked with the guy: he said is a 66" around 500lbs and is asking $1300CAD not sure the brand. I'm planing to used it on my kubota L3800. Do you think is too big for my toy, is the right price.....:confused:? Thx.

Hi. New to forum. Have a quote for new 2011 L3800 HST with QA FEL 66" bucket, R4s (rears filled), BH77 with mech thumb, 12 and 24" buckets. $27 delivered. Good price? I believe it is. Also would like opinions of BH bucket size. Get the 12 for stumps, etc. Wide bucket for ditch cleaning...

I just purchased a l3800 hst and I have a hill at my house that needs to be regraded it will require large amounts of dirt to be moved I was wondering if this is bad for my tractor or loader to dig with it

They are basically the same tractor, except for HP. Can a 3800 really "do" that much more? Does the extra HP help the tractor do any more? I know that you get more power out of more HP, but on the same frame, will it matter? I have been using a JD850 with only @24+/- HP for years so I just...

My L3800 has a glass port to look through when checking the hydraulic fluid level. I'm use to checking fluid levels with dipsticks and not sure I see any fluid in the window. I see what looks like a yellow circular backdrop but not sure if that's the fluid or not. Want to make sure there isn't...

2012 Hydrostatic Trans, Bucket, R4 Tires....delivered....$20,585.... good price???:thumbsup:

So, I have a chance to buy a used 72" KK tiller for $1300.00 Pretty good condition. However, I wonder if this is to much for my L38002 hst. Any thoughts?

**** all. Been lurking for awhile and now have a question. I'm going to get a L3800 today and want to know if it will handle a 60" reverse tine tiller? Also, which tiller will last. I see some tillers say gear drive and some say chain drive--witch do I need? thanks in advance.

I have just bought a Kubota L3800. I am considering buying the Woods 12' Batwing finish mower. The specs on the mower say it requires at least a 30HP tractor. I am going to be cutting a closed down golf course with it. They want it cut once a month. Do you guys think I will have difficulty...

I'm down to the wire and can't make up my mind. Can you guys help me. I've got the prices the same on both models.

Planning to purchase an L3800 in couple of weeks and in the mid time I'm looking for some attachments. One of these is a grapple which I'm planning to use it for cleaning the branches around the farm. First, I'm not sure for the size and second not sure from where. Here in Canada I can't see any...

I have 2 quotes and regional price factors make the actual amount not relevant. The delta is $1818, L3800 over the L3200, both are HST. The only real feature difference I can find is the horse power, and I'm having a hard time knowing if my needs require the extra 5. I'm not sure if 32/25 vs...

Hey guys, wondering if anyone has any advice. Looking at an 18 foot equipment hauler for trailering an L3800 w loader and tiller. Will 18 foot suffice? Also 10k rating. Thanks in advance for the help!

I am getting ready to purchase a new tractor for my small farm. I will mainly be using the tractor for grading driveway, moving manure, and bushogging. My property is very hilly. I have priced the both of the above tractors. Both tractors have the Hydrostat Drives and both dealers are going to...

I need to sell some stuff for a new business deal. I have a 2011 L3800 with NO JERKY HITCH, im the guy who got mine fixed properly attachments are BH77 backhoe, 60" box scraper, 12" PHD and la524 QA loader with sunshade roof. it has 25 hours on it. i paid i think 33k with tax. just...

Was clearing some heavy yaupons and small oak here in Texas with my new L3800 when I saw the right front R4 tire had broken the bead and was flat. Turns out it was a heavy duty branch maybe 1/2" diameter had punched through the tread. Used the bucket to lift front end up, put a log underneath...

I'm looking @ both of these tractors and would like to know if I'm getting good prices & advantages of the 3320 over the l3800 (both new). Both HST trans. JD 3320 w/300X FEL: $21495 Kubota L3800 w/LA524 FEL: $18945

Initially my new L3800 had a very jerky hitch while raising especially with something like a box blade on it. Took it into the dealer and had the control valve for the 3 pt. hitch adjusted. It works absolutely smooth. The L3800 is a wonderful tractor and although this thing should have been...

The L3800 manual on the Lubricants, Fuel and Coolants chart lists the clutch pedal and brake pedal. Under Lubricants it says "Until Grease Overflows". What do you think they mean? There isn't a Zerk fitting I assume. Do we just spray some grease on the moving parts? Thanks.

Is there an Amsoil filter for both the diesel oil and hydraulic oil for the Kubota L3800? Thanks!

Hi Everyone, I'm new to the site and excited to participate :) I want to buy a new Kubota L3800HST with the following options: R4 tires Cruise Control Canopy LA524 loader w/66' quick coupler bucket LP BB1260 Scraper What is a fair price to pay for the above? Thanks in advance for the advice...

Today I was on the tractor and stood up from the seat while it was running. It shut down as it should have because of the kill switch under the seat. The problem was I could not restart. It has power, I can see lights on the dash but nothing when I turn the key. I assume it is either a fuse or...

I've been worried about the 1st service (50 hour) and my decision to do it myself vs dealer. I'd heard different opinions on the level of difficulty. If you are on the fence also, not to worry, I did mine yesterday and it was a complete piece of cake. Zero problems other than a bit of a mess...

I have many uses for a backhoe and have been considering getting one for my L3800. I use several rear mounted implements on this tractor as well. Question is, how much work is involved to remove the hoe so the 3 point hitch can be used? Also what size bucket would you recommend?

Hello all. I've been reviewing info on this forum. Hoping for some advice from the group. My wife and I just closed on 40 acres of pasture, timber, creek, and a couple acres of tillable ground. We will be building a homestead over the next couple of years and planting an orchard. So we are...

I purchased a new L3800 with no front end loader. I want to add one set rear hydralic remotes. The dealer wants $700.00 for kubota parts. Is their a more economical way? Thanks Alan

I recently purchased a L3800 HST new but could not justify the additional $700.00 for a remote hydralic outlet. The tractor in not equipped with a loader or the valves. Does anyone know where I could purchase the required valve and fittings at a reasonable cost for a remote hydralic?

I'm at work and need to stop at the local Kubota dealer for my 200 hour maint. supplies for my L3800 HST. I don't have my book with me but want to get the items that I need on my way home from work. I know I need an oil filter, trans filter, hydro filter. What I don't know is how much Super UDT...

I just bought a L3800, and it's time for it's first service. The owners manual is very unclear on how to adjust the 2 stage clutch. I have the first part done, but I'm lost when I comes to finding the cover on the right side of the fly wheel, and adjusting the three bolts around it. Can anyone...

I bought a L3800 HST 4WD with the quick attach FEL and quick attach bucket, pallet forks, box blade and rototiller about 2 weeks ago. Love the tractor. Easy to learn to use, very maneuverable, and very powerful. More tractor than I need right now, but after reading all the reviews here, it...

Just wondering if anyone else has had any issues with their l3800. I have blown a total of 4 hydraulic lines 2 on bucket and 2 on backhoe. As well as the valve block on the backhoe needi g to be replaced. Very disappointed so far. Dealer has been great fixing under warranty but plenty loss of...

I was really liking the 3400 but have not found one locally. The 3800 is readily available. Which one?

I purchased a new PD15 from LP. After reading the manual it says to only use this at PTO speed of 300 rpm or slower. I'm not sure how to set the pto to that speed and know it's at that rpm or slower, can someone help? Thanks, Andy

Hi guys, I know this isn't a good comparison... but these are my options. I can get a 2011 50 hour L3800 for $14k. The guy bought the tractor for a contract he had, lost the contract, and needs to sell. My other choice is a 2005 100 hour L3130 with the LA723 - asking $15k. Both are in...

As many of you know, when I was deciding on the Kubota L3800 I was really concerned about the FEL capability, lifting capacity; and I was worried about lifting round bales. Thanks to all those who contributed information during my shopping research ... here is some proof related to what the...

A neighbor is looking to buy a tractor about my size, I have a 3720. He wants a loader, backhoe and 6 foot finish mower. He has a quote from Kubota on the L3800 at about $26,000. I am confused on what backhoe I should configure for the 3320. Even taking 15% off (which is what I got when I...

OK! I'm ready to pull the trigger on my first EVER new, modern tractor. I am looking for feedback on tires, specifically the R1 option compared to R4... I believe that's agricultural compared to industrial. I am working on a small horse farm under 15 acres with rolling hills. My new L3800 is...

I have a L3800 with 32 hrs and quickly approaching the "50 hrs" point where service is supposed to be done. What needs to be done and is this something that I can myself? Can anyone shed some light on this for me ?? Thanks - Tom K.

Been looking at tractors for a month or so and am losing my mind, started out looking at used Montanas and thought a Yanmar would be good plus there is a TYM dealer 40 miles from me. It seems like I can get a L3800 cheaper than a 35 horse TYM (surprised me) is 17,500 a fair price for a L3800...

Can anyone give me the weight of a L3800, LA524 loader, and BH77 backhoe?

Been lurking for a bit while researching which tractor to buy. Settled on an L3800 and figured I'd get an account as I'm sure I'll have questions on how to avoid (or recover from) doing something stupid! Requisite pic:

I am buying a Kubota shortly and am in a bit of a quandary. The local dealer has a 3700(new) but no 3800 with hst (one of my requirements). The difference in price for him to get me a 3800 vs the new 3700 in stock is a thousand dollars. I know the 3700 has a different hood and puke tank, but...

When I stopped by to look at a L3800 ordered with Kubota remotes, the dealer had the control bolted to the right (my right shoulder) ROPS. The connects were handy but I couldn't see how you could easily adjust top and tilt reaching over your shoulder. The return line was run into the hydraulic...

Sometimes when I go to start my tractor, I turn the key and nothing happens. If I move the HST pedal around, it will start. Is there an adjustment for this. Some of the time is starts without moving the pedal. It is like the sensitivity is too sensitive? What also happens is sometime when I...

New to the forum and buying my first tractor, so this newbie could use some advice... Think I have it narrowed down to the 2 models listed above--looking at about a $2800 upgrade for the Grand L3540. The 3800 would suit my needs fine, but for the extra $ I like the add'l capabilities of the...

I'm looking at an L3800HST with turf tires...8.5" wide on the front and 13.6" on the rears. The nature of my work causes me to tip toe across customer's lawns on a regular basis. I noticed that the Grand L Series has 12.5" wide tires on the front and 18" wide in the rear. Has anyone ever put...

Gentlemen and Ladies, I own a L3400 and completely love it, well...almost. I think the L2800, L3400, 3700 and 3800 may all have the same type adjustable lift arm. More specifically I am talking about the type on my 2009 L3400. It has two tiny handles 180 deg from each other and a brass lock nut...

Hey guys, I've never owned a tractor, but we just bought an RV Park and need a tractor to do the following things around the park: 1) Spread Mulch 2) Spread Pea Gravel 3) Spread Gravel for Roads 4) Grade Roads 5) Create new roads and sites 6) Bushhog 7) Spray grass and sites It sits on...

new owner to be of new l3800 with fel and 6ft woods finish mower and a used brush hog my question is can i use a carryall with a 55 gallon barrel with concrete instead of fluid in the tires or the dealer is talking about wheel weights that bolt to the wheel i am concerned about when i mow would...

I've narrowed it down to these two tractors. Anybody have any thoughts on one vs. the other?

I noticed last night when parking the tractor when either of the turn signals are turned on the opposite turn signal lights up steady... this doesn't seem right to me. Also noticed the brake lights don't work....I assume there are brake lights?? Going to get the operators manual out of the...

I am enjoying our new 3800 with FEL and Bush Hog box blade. In maintaining our gravel road and grading our new home site it has been the perfect combo. My builder, who recommended a manual tranny tractor and who didn't see why we were getting the blade is now completely converted! He used the...

Hey guys, Just wondering how this price compares and how much more wiggle room the dealer has on his package price. Kubota currently has a $2430 discount on the L series tractors so he is knocking $1434 off from what i can figure. This is a 5.8% discount. Should I aim for 10% at $22,350? He...

Well after two hours of my new tractor the jerky hitch is driving me insane I called the dealer and they sent out there mechanic and he said 100% that's wrong and he will fix it. They said the older ones had this issue but the newer ones are fixed. They are coming Monday to take it in and...

Just wondering if i got a good deal or a bad deal. i got a new L3800 with LA524 QA loader, B77 backhoe with Mechanical thumb, not hydraulic a 9" auger setup, box scraper and a roof. With tax and setup it came to 31400. Just wondering how this price compares to others around the world. I...

After a bit of work managed to engage 4WD and now I can't seem to figure out how to get the lever down to switch back to 2WD. Seems like a simple mechanism, manual just said to depress clutch, what am I missing?

So I think I have narrowed down my choices to one of these two tractors. I currently have 3.5 acres that I need to complete some landscaping on before putting it up for sale and just purchased 2.7 treed acres to build a house on. The new lot will need tree removal, finally grading, driveway prep...

mahindra 3616 or kubota l3800, and why? I have a lawn care service on the side and have had a few customers ask abt doing some bush hogging, nothing huge 10 acres or smaller. I'll also b building a house in the next year and a half and would use it to dress up the land.

I was considering a Deere 3038e, but I think I like the looks of the Kubota L3800 HST better. I got similar quotes, for both tractors with the same implements, but, obviously, different brands. Both quotes seem a little high, but I'd like some opinions. The Kubota Quote: L3800HST Tractor...

I have decided that the L3800 with FE is the unit to get the job done for my needs. I've gotten a couple of quotes and the best I have seen is $20000 for a L3800 Gear with FE and a 6' LandPride Finishing mower delivered. Also was told from them I can get a 5' brush mower for $720 or a 6' brush...

Am about to take delivery of new L3800. I know this is a new model and haven't seen many posts about it yet. Any owners out there care to enlighten me about what to expect (good and bad).

Looking to upgrade from a Massey Ferguson GC2410. I am looking at Kubotas, the B3300 and L3800. 1) I need to mow approx 3 acres with a Landpride 1660 rear finish mower. 2) I need to plow snow for a 200 ft driveway. 3) I also need to rake hay with a NH 256 rake. Mostly mow and plow. I...

Are they the same 37.4 hp machine with different model #s(for marketing sake), or is there something there that I am missing!? Rod

Hi Folks, It has been a while since I have been around here but it is nice to be back. I looked at a L3800HST yesterday it seemed like a very nice machine. I would be replacing a Ford 1710 with it and having the extra size and power will be a nice step up to help maintain my place. The dealer...

I'm waiting on delivery of a L3800 w/ BH77 BH and am trying to plan where to store it between uses. If it will fit I'd like to put in in a garage bay, but if thats not possible then I'll have to build a medium sized storage building. My question is what is the size of it's parked footprint, i.e...

I have a new L3800HST, which comes with a dealer-installed backhoe, and a FEL, but no rear remotes. The backhoe is connected through two hoses (tractor outlet, return). I'm considering using a 3PH log splitter (maybe Wallenstein or Split-Fire), but I need to understand my options. When the BH...

Newbie question, I live in New England and can see quite a bit of snow some winters. Do I need to get a snowblower/ box blade / plow blade or can I get by with just plowing/moving snow with my FEL bucket? My driveway is not that long, maybe about 20 by 40 feet by the house. New to tractors...

Here's my problem Bobcat CT440 with a loader and 8 foot backhoe or a Kubota L3800 with loader and 7.7 backhoe. Both are HST's. The BC weighs almost 1400 lbs more, the pto hp is the same. If you build both tractors on-line the BC is $4000 more BUT my dealer wants me in it. He said he would match...

Hi Everyone, I've been researching it seems like forever and now it's finally time to replace the old 8n. I'm trying to stay under $20,000.This is what I'm looking at- Kubota l3800 with FEL and QA bucket,Ag tires,gear tranny--$18,300 or 17,300 cash price.Also about $400 to load back tires...

I just bought a new Kubota L3800 and they sent me home with a 5 foot bush hog. I have about 5 acres of field (few trees, level to gentle slope) to mow and I am wondering if I should return the 5 foot and get a 6 foot. I have a few questions. Can my tractor handle the 6 foot wthout wearing on...

Does anyone have an L3800HST operators manual (PDF) they can share with me? I can trade you the workshop manual (PDF)... - Mike

For me it came down to Kioti CK35 and the L3800. I liked them both alot but it came down to the dealer and Kubota's reputation. I bought the L3800 from Johnson City Kubota in western NC. Matt was great to deal with. What I got was the L3800 HST, Filled R4 tires, LA524 FEL with quick release...

After much research, debating and soul searching I decided to buy an L3800. It took about a week for all of the options to be installed but it finally arrived on Tuesday. Here's what I ended up with: L3800 HST, R4 tires (filled with antifreeze), LA524 with Quick Attach and 66 bucket, bucket...

HI ALL, I am looking into buying one of these tractors in next week or so looking for pro and cons of each tractor (gear shift kubota,shuttle shift kioti) thanks RCA , VT

Hi all - new member here. I have read numerous articles re the jerky 3pt hitch issue with the L3400 models. I am ready to purchase a new L3800 but wanted feedback from anyone that owns an L3800 regarding the 3pt operation. Does the new 3200/3800 have the same issue ? Thanks in advance

Hi all - new member here. I have read numerous articles re the jerky 3pt hitch issue with the L3400 models. I am ready to pull the trigger on a new L3800 but wanted feedback from anyone that owns an L3800 regarding the 3pt operation. Does the new 3200/3800 have the same issue ? Thanks in advance

I'm in the final stages of a decision to upgrade BX24 to L3800 loader/BH. I see the Hydraulic pump capacity is 6.3 gpm/3.8 gpm (PS). This looks lower when compared to others in the same hp range. (L3240 is 8.3/4.9) Any thoughts if this will impact performance in any way? or not to worry as it's...

I'm looking at moving up from my B7510HST with la302 loader and 60" MMM - 21hp (17 pto) to work on 30 acres of farmland we are buying. On paper, I pretty much had my mind set on the Grand L frame, but I went and looked at one and they look HUGE to me, 6 feet wide with R4's, tall and long...

I had a chance to have a good look at a new Kubota L3800 today, sitting right next to an L3400 on the dealer's lot for comparison. As far as I can see externally, there's very little difference other than a different dash layout, and the bodywork of course. The L3800 had an LA463 loader...

I went to my local Kubota dealer today. I've been looking for a used 30-40 hp Kubota and was looking at around $15K for an L3400. There aren't many around, either. I looked at the new L3800 at the dealership and got pre qualified for financing. With 60 months at 0% I am happy to buy the...

I am going to my dealer tomorrow to put a deposit on a L3800 with a LA524 loader. Are you guys or gals that aready have one happy with them? Thanks

The weather's been nice the past few days, so I had my new L3800 out yesterday to play around with it since I haven't had a real chance to use it since I bought it. I started digging out one of the many large pine trees that I want to remove, so I was using the BH77 hoe for the first time. The...

I just joined this site and this is my first time posting. I have done a lot of reading on here though in the last week. Very interesting and helpful. I have been doing some serious shopping/reading about the new compact tractors. I like what Kubota has offered for the Grand L series except...

Hello everyone! We haven't posted in a while, we've started and stopped our tractor search many times over the past couple of years with frequent visits to this site. We currently use a 1954 Case and a Cub Cadet mower to accomplish the bare minimum of our tasks. We'd like to do more. We...

My L3800 HST arrived yesterday. On the Kubota website it says that it has a live pto, but in the manual it says you must use the clutch when putting the pto in gear or takeing it out of gear. To me a live pto does not need a clutch to be put into gear. What am I missing?

Thought some of you guys might enjoy a video on the features of the new Kubota L3200 and L3800. It compares it to the older L3400 and the John Deere 3038E. Enjoy. All New Kubota Standard L-Series | L3200/L3800

I posted this in the wrong forum, so sorry for the double post. I just got a call from dealer and the L3800 with FEL, BH and thumb is ready for delivery. I am going to go up after work and sign the papers and go over the machine. He is going to check to see if they can deliver it tomorrow. I...

We never own a tractor, but now after a long summer spent on our farm in weekends, we need advice on which tractor between L3800 and L4400 is best for a 100 acre hobby farm. We need the tractor for minor excavation and hauling, to build some access roads, mowing about 3-5 acres of tall grass and...

I went up to my local dealer to look at several machines and decided on the L3800. It was a choice between the L3800, L3700 and the B3030. I went with the L3800 due to size, HP and I liked the new design as compared to the L3700. The axle size between the L and the B was pretty substantial. The...

I am going up this weekend to my dealer to make a deal on a new tractor. After doing allot of research reading, I have settled in my mind on the L3800. As I was reading through this forum, I did some reading on the B3030. It seems pretty comparable in features and price. I guess I am trying to...

I have another post about buyig a new machine. Here is where I am at. L3800 with BH FEL and R4 tires for $26,525 plus tax and free delivery. To get the 60 months 0% on this particular model, I have to pay an extra 3% on the cost of the machine. That's about another $650 added on after I put a...

I just bought a L3800 HST 4x4 with a loader and was wandering if it will be the right size for my little farm?

Hey Yall, Just got back into Louisiana for the Holidays. While looking around for a B2920 TLB package, I notice, that there are a lot of the New L3200/L3800's at the dealers, but it looks like most are gear model, and they only have a hand handle on the left side fender. There are two types of...

WOW! What an ordeal buying a tractor is :confused2: So I thought I had everything in order with the dealer, when I ran a check through list of everything it was coming with ( quick detach loader, 5' howse cutter, and 6' box blade, r4 tires filled) The dealer said no the tire fill was extra since...

I purchased 11 acres in the NC mountains last year. Mostly slopped forest with about 600' of gravel drive. I started looking for the good used 4x4 and reading the Tractorbynet forums. Now I love forums and have been lurking on here a lot but I think they double the cost of anything I buy! I...

Has anyone seen any concrete info on the rumored new L3800? Any Kubota dealers/reps here? When will Kubota update their website to reflect the 3800? I saw one post that said the L3800 was anticipated in mid-Nov. I saw another that had a reputed L3800 photo. But nothing concrete yet from...

I have been pricing tractors at my local dealers, I have Kubota, NH and JD all local. It seems the TC30 is the least expensive of the big 3 I have looked at. The tractor will be used a LOT at the start but then it will taper off to an occasional box blade job and possibly tilling 1-2 acres. To...
