Anybody Bought a NEW 3200 YET???

[cgreenway]

I was wondering if anyone has got a new 3200 yet and got a opion on it???, my dealer just got 2 in and hasn't assembled them yet, my buddie was interested in a b3030, but was unsure of all the differences versus the price difference?? , which would be the best in the TBN site professional opionions out their. He will be mowing a acre yard and bush hogging , and he wants a loader, he wont be using the 3 point but 4 or 5 times a year to bushhog his field, but is set on one of these models, thanks,

I stopped into my local dealer a couple days ago, and had hoped to get a look at a 3200. No such luck........ heck the salesman had no idea when and if they had any coming. I'd say if your friend doesn't need the deluxe features of the 3030 (tilt wheel, position control, extendable 3 point arms,etc)....... for sure he'll find the 3200 more than adequate.

We've had them for about a month. Its basicly the same features as the B7800 that it replaced. Check that out, it should answer your questions.

Neil, did they carry through with the same front quick hitch sub mount as the B7800, or have they changed it to the style used on the other B's, and the BX?

All these tractors use basicly the same hitch mount system to accept the RAD implements. If your talking about the hitch, all the large frame tractors use the same one.

One nice thing I noticed is the LA504 loader vs LA403 on the Bxx30 series. It appears that it will lift 1100lbs vs 890lbs. If you are doing a lot of FEL work, having a couple hundred pounds more lift capacity is sure nice. The factory FEL q/a setup appears to be the pin type though and not skid steer type like the "L" series have. The Bxx30 has the same factory setup with the option of bucket and pallet forks. The downside is no "deluxe" features on the B3200 but most of them have to do with the 3pt hitch. If you get a quick hitch for the 3pt that eliminates a lot of the deluxe tractor advantages other than position control and I not sure you really need that for a brush hog.

On my B2620 you can set a lower limit for the 3pt hitch, but it requires a wrench. I do that when I'm using the bush hog, and for that use it works every bit as good as position control as long as you are happy with that one height.... works for me. I would expect that the B3200 has the same setup.

Neil, though the quick hitch itself is the same type on all the B series, the subframe that it mounts to was different on the B7800, and was carried over from the B2710/B2910. It was much heavier, and extended much further back under the tractor than the one for the B3030. That part of the hitch is what I was referring to. Sorry for the poor description.

Wrong - loader lift capacities are nearly identical. Pivot pin lift capacity on the B3200 loader is 1065 lbs. Pivot pin lift capacity on the B3030 loader is a bit higher at 1091 lbs. B3030 loader also lifts 2 inches higher.

Regarding the 3pt setup, on the B3030, the hitch arms have a few more features, it has Position Control which is far superior to quarter inching (but if you've never had PC, you'll never know what you're missing, so 1/4"ing should be fine), and the 3pt lift capacity is 376 lbs higher (24" back) than on the B3200. Oh, and I much prefer the Position Control for brush hogging, as I often have to lift and re-lower the cutter because of the terrain & obstacles.

Weird, Kubota always used the Killogram rating to name their FEL's. At least that was always the case in the past. 504 killograms should = 1100 pounds or so were 403 killograms = 890 lbs. Kubota must be using a new naming convention.

Or they have decided to switch from specifying it from 19" forward of the pivot pins to the pivot pin number........... as other tractor companies are doing. My 364 loader is the 19" forward number.
