Hello, fellow Kubota owners. I traded my little Kubota garden tractor a few months ago for the L3830 with HST. This is a second tractor for us as my wife is usually out there helping me shred, etc., (I married a winner). I "test drove" the tractor around the dealership's lot and everything...

I've had my 3830 for about 6 months now and love it. I'm thinking of adding a backhoe to it and have been looking at the BH90 by Kubota and the Woods 9000. Around here the Woods unit is about $600 more. What do folks believe to be the best backhoe for the 3830? Thanks in advance for your opinions

I have narrowed my choices (unless I change my mind ) for a larger tractor to the L3830 or the L4630. I can easily get by with the 3830 for the immediate future, but may go for the 4630 to hedge against future needs for larger capacity loader or larger capacity implements. Most of my use will...

After having owned it almost two years to the day, I have sold my L3830 2wd in expectation to upgrade . I absolutely loved the tractor and it was the perfect size for my place, but as many told me when I bought it; I should have gotten a FEL. I called my dealer this morning to get prices on...

I have a 6 King Kutter bushhog on my L3830. It seems no matter how I adjust my 3 point configuration, it just doesn't cut right. I borrowed a 5' from a friend and it worked perfectly. I was wondering what position my top link should be in? It has three spots to put it in. It looks like if I...

Both are priced the same in michigan with loaders for around 22k. I am assuming either one will work. i have a Kubota 2710 HST which i will trade in, or sell i don't know why because the Kubota dealer told me my tractor will outperform them both and i believe it. It runs like a swiss clock it...

In the market for a rotary tiller for mom's BX1800. Our dealer gave my mom a quote for a 42" and 50". Saying both would work on the BX(he is our Kubota dealer). So I'm trusting they would fit the "limited" hitch. No front ballast required(no loader on BX). I'm leaning toward the 50" since it...

The old L355SS that I have been using is dying. One of the rear tires was flat and after I got that fixed and inflated, one of the front tires blew out! (This was a tractor left behind by the old home owner.) My wife agrees this event is a sign to go out and get a new one. We have a large place...

Found a 2003 L3830 with 1063 hours on it. Canopy and tooth bar. From the pictures the tires look like they are done. Price is $14,500. The tractor is HST. Price sound ok? Sounds a little high to me. Hours sound high as well. How does the HST hold up? Is there a big power loss with the HST?

Hi all . Well I narrowed it down to these three models there all about 40 horse and I can't make up my mind, The new holland and the massey are real close and the kubota is about 60 miles away, Massey has the best offer 0.9 percent for 36 months but I like the strength of the new holland and...

I am thinking about getting a FEL for my 3830. I won't use it a lot, and do not have any specific jobs for it other than the normal odds jobs that comes with owning 20 acres. So what is the scoop, how does Kubota FEL compare to the "off brands". Is there any real savings on a "off brand"? Do...

I am just looking for some quotes that some of you great people out there received for a L3830? Any help would be great! Thanks.

I know L39s are unavailable at this time, but considering the specs..... How do you think a L3830 with a Bradco 509 would compare in real working conditions to a new L39 (digging roads, tenches and stumps)? I enjoy my 3830, but I'm serioulsy looking at at L39. The reason is, the Bradco hoe is...

Finally got around to posting this as a small thanks to everyone who helped in the decision. The photo is a family portrait of Company P (for Power). I own all but the GEs and rolling stock. The L3830 is an HST and the hidden finishing mower is a Befco C50, 84 inch.

Got a nice, but not spectacular, deal on the last 3830 HST that Kubota had in their Georgia warehouse. Ended up ordering it now because I wanted to avoid the extra $600 list after January 1. Yeah, right ... I just want to drive it around over New Years! Details. For $19775 it is "nicely...

with us?? Lee dropped it off on Friday and gave us a quick briefing on how do do things. (He will be back tomorrow for the full expanded course and question and answer session! And drop off the rotary cutter. Hats are on order!!) It was dropped off with 1.4 hours and now has 6.8, not too...

I just had my new L3830HST delivered on Tuesday. At this point it just has some front weights on it in anticipation of a Brush Hog 285 rotary cutter to show up in a week or two. I took it for a little cruise around the property and was generally impressed with the R4's, although I did manage...

What should I expect to pay for a backhoe for my Kubota L3830? Are there good off-brands I might consider? Thanks, Dave

I have a new L3830 with a BH90 backhoe. With the backhoe curled up it drops about one foot over four hours. Does anybody know if this is reasonable or if it should drop at all? It also starts to drop while running the tractor.

I have 10 acres (small horse farm) with pond and several paddocks. Will be snowblowing with rear blower long driveways and bushhogging paddocks. Will also need to periodically move round bales (up to 1000lbs each). Manure removal and spreading, etc. Which tractor would everybody recommend...

I have been quoted $33,995.00 Canadian $$ for the following: L3830 with Block Heater Hydrostat trans. Industrial tires 1 set of rear auxill. remotes LA 723 Kubota loader with 72" Kubota bucket Double prong bale spear 6' 3 point hitch Agrotrend snowblower with hydraulic hood turner 5 1/2' 3...

Does a king kutter fit or linebach 7300??i know there are fit problems with phd's??what about extensions???

I found another gear in my L3830 HST yesterday. My driveway is about 500 ft. long with the first of it downhill. Driving back from the road, foot flat on the floor, I thought why not try the cruise. Cruise lever next to range lever, it will go into neutral at that speed. Georgia overdrive! I...

I HAVE BEEN LOOKING INTO BOTH OF THESE UNITS. BOTH SEEM TO HAVE THEIR ADVANTAGES. THE ONE THING ABOUT THE NH I LIKE IS THAT IS A 12 SPEED WITH A 4 CYLINDER DIESEL. THE CONS TO ME ARE THE PLASTIC BODY PARTS AND THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE TC 40DA OTHER THAN THE HYDRO TRANSMISSION. FOR THE KUBOTA...

I am considering whether to buy the BH90 backhoe for the new L3830 that I own. Is this tractor too small for this hoe? I am a small construction company, not just a homeowner, and I want the hoe for digging out for manholes and cutting trenches for water, sanitary sewer and storm sewer lines. I...

Loaded tires, FEL, and Backhoe. Delear says 8300 pounds. Who trailers their L3830 (or one of the Grand L series)? What is the GVWR of the trailer you use? How far do you usually trailer it? What do you tow it with? What is it's tow rating?

Just wondering how everyone liked their L3830 with FEL. I've been happy with mine, but a little disappointed in the power. However, I'm thinking I am expecting too much. It performs well with the loading, but any digging takes some finesse because it stalls out. With fluid in the rear tires...

Hi, I'm getting ready to hook up the bush hog for the first time. Any particular order I should start attaching, to make it the easiest? Liliane

done the 50 hour service today (51.3 hours). i have read the book on changing just the hydro filters at 200 hours and wondered why it said to drain all the fluid first. i placed a pan under the suction filter and loosened it, fluid did flow out but not uncontrollably this filter can be changed...

I need to know what size R4 tires are on a L3830. Need the size for front and back. Thanks for the help.

In the middle of 50hr service on L3830. Shows 4 drain plugs in manual for the hydraulic system. The manual shows 4 hex head plugs. I've found 3. 2 smaller ones on the final drives and 1 big one toward the rear. The 4th which should be forward on the tractor appears to be a flush allen head...

L3130 or L3830 can\'t decide I think I've read every post in this section and the information has been excellent. I'm looking at either getting: L3130HST R4 tir LA723 loader-HD bucket Bush Hog SQ600 5' rotary cutter-shear pin. $19100 or : L3830 HST R4 tires LA723 loader-HD bucket Bush Hog...

My parent's L3830 has just reached 50hrs and I'm ready to take care of the required service. Called my dealer to pick his brain and he shared something which confused me. He said they don't change the hydraulic fluid at 50 hrs as long as it is "clean".......only the engine oil/hydraulic...

trying to get a good ball park price for each bare tractor

i have a question?is it possible to convert a 2001 dodge ram 2500 qaud cab 4x4 diesel into a dually???what would it cost??has anyone done this before???we just need more load capacity??we love are truck it has 57k and has been perfect but we now need a dually for what we are doing??bws

What are the dimensions of the L3830? My internet keeps crashing when I attempt to log onto Kubota's website. I am most interested in length and width. With or without the FEL. Thanks, Dave

How much difference is there between these two machines? Will one do something the other won't? I would assume the L4330 will be slightly faster and stronger, but for light/medium duty work will I ever really notice the difference? The work would include pulling a 6' bush hog and light FEL...

This is the final price the dealer gave me. $23,776 including tax. Don't know if I can do the no tax farm thing. I live in Greene County Indiana. The tractor is a Kubota L3830 w/GST, R4 tires, FEL w/heavy duty bucket (pin on), bolt in teeth, and Woods 6' bush hog. It appears to be a good...

how do i get the service reminder and the "wrench" light off???

Ive had it for nine days and I still cant believe it! Anyway Im wondering what everyone does for weight in the rear beside loading the tires which mine are? Do they make a weight box ? Any thoughts?....bob

I finally found a dealer who would let me play on a new tractor. It was a L3830 with the glide shift transmission. He priced it at $21,000.00 with the standard FEL, heavy duty bucket with bolt in teeth, pin on bucket, and R4 tires. Seems like a pretty good deal to me. It was $900 less for...

Anyone have any thoughts on these tractors? I'm going to look at some this weekend. If they quoted me correctly, the L3400 was about 15,500 and the L3830 was just over $19000. Both geared and with loaders. I am comparing them to a TC40A and JD 990 or 4510. I plan on using a 6' bush hog with...

I live in Maine on the Maine/NH border, I have checked every dealer within 150 miles. Best price $21,850 for tractor, loader,R4 tires loaded..........what do ya think?

Hello everyone. This is my first post on your forum, but I've been reading your discussions for the past couple of months, and have found them informative. I've owned older tractors & backhoes growing up, but now searching for the CUT that will probably be my last if my wife has her way...

Hi all. I'm new to this wonderful board and new to the "big" tractor world and could use some help. I'm a new owner of 47 acres for which I need a tractor.

I'm getting ready to purchase a L3830hst, LA723 FEL w/tooth bar and BH90 Backhoe. MY house is on the PA/NY border, the In State dealer is about 5 miles away and the out of State dealer is 20 miles away. The out of State dealer is $1,000 less than the In State dealer, 27,950 vs 28,950. Are...

I have a price on an L3830 DT for $15,000 and my loader options are a LA723 for $4300 more and QA adds $350. The dealer also carries Woods loaders with the Woods model 1012 for $3650 and the 1016 model for $3960 and both of these prices include QA in the price. I have read alot and learned...

Well, I think I have made my last tractor purchases for a while. I traded in my Case DX-33 & my Kubota F3060 front mount mower for a Kubota BX23 & Kubota L3830. The BX23 will be used for grass cutting(~3 acres) and snow removal on my 75' driveway and obviously some backhoe work. The F3060 front...

What is the best price anyone has gotten on the Kubota L3830 with GST and FEL? Also is the GST as reliable as the standard trans with shuttle shift? Thanks Chief

need some input on these two models,looking at a possible purchase on the L3130,whats a fair price? how does everyone like there tractor,what would you do differently? your input is appreciated. A dealer referrence would be great also.

After an extensive tractor search looking at many tractors in the 30 to 50 HP range, I finally ordered a Kubota L3830 FST 4WD. Entirely too many TBN'rs said go with 4WD. I'm no lemming, but I trust that the senior members know what their talking about. I found a VERY reasonably priced, new...

How am I doin\' - L3830??? I playing tractor "expert" for Mom and Dad. After 40yrs in the "city" they're movin' to the country. My brother and I will be helping with: 23 acres total, flat, 18 acres +/- to cut(pasture grasses not lawn), 900' +/- gravel drive, 3 ponds w/750' +/- spillways...

I am a tractor novice. Will be improving 55 acres of hilly, sloped land. Jobs planned: grading two gravel roads, brush clearing, tree removal, minor logging, general maintenance. Have narrowed search to above Kubotas. Both will be equipped with max load capacity FEL with HD bucket. Box...

I going to buy one of these soon. I wanted to get some input on the pricing I have gotten and general opinions on the Kubota, and New Holland. I have a farm and will be purchasing in East Tennessee or Georgia. The local dealer has quoted me; L3830 GST with R4 tires - $16,500 TC 40DH - $17,500...

Rotary Cutter for L3830 Still trying to decide on a rotary cutter for my L3830. I have looked at the woods bb72 around 700lbs and bush hog sq 72 arouind 650 Lbs. A Kubota dealer that sells both said the bush hog sq 72 would be better because the woods has more of its weight toward the back...

Just got 50 hrs. on my L3830. The dealer is suppose to pick it up this evening to do the service. When I mentioned that the manual says to change the transmission fluid, He said they usually just change the filter and that would take care of it. Then change the fluid at 500 hrs. Any comments...

I know this sounds stange, but we need some help on how to unhook bush hog from tractor, mainly the driveline from the pto shaft. I'm sure it's probably very simple, (tractor & bush hog were dropped off with NO instruction on how to unhook or hook up). thanks for any help

IM looking at these two machines and was wondering what was the prices of these machins was. The local Kubota dealer is 1hr. away and haven't got the time to get over there to see or test drive. Been looking at the NH33d,NH35d and the 40d and i got the prices from those as the guy is on my...
