Welcome Ricky,
I can't comment on the B3300 but I have the B3200 TLB and It's very close to size and preformance of the 3300.Lots of power with this size tractor as you'll run out of traction before you run out of power, I mow about 2 acres with 72" Woods RFM, mows just great.Have a Land Pride 72" rear blade that I use for some snow clean up, I have the 60" bucket for the FEL. You should be very happy with your new B3300, right size to do most chores but not to heavy for driving on finished lawn. Good luck.

If by small round bales you mean 4'x4' bales then it should work pretty good. I move that size bale with my B3200 all the time. I wouldn't move any larger bales though, 4x5 are too big. Also note that kubota only offers their own version of a quick attach on the loader for this size tractor, so you would have to either build your own bale spear or get a skid steer style quick attach like ATI (then you could use a commonly available bale spear.)

Also note that the B3300 doesn't have a mid-PTO and therefore can't run a mid-mount mower. You could run a bush hog or a rear-mount finishing mower however. If you do need a mid-mount mower you would need to go up to a B3200 or B3030.

Good luck on your purchase, I use my B3200 a lot and it's been a great little tractor.

Thank you for your input. It was VERY helpful! Bush Hog was my pick so this will work fine. Thank You again.

Welcome Ricky.

I just bought a B3300SU a little over a month ago. I've got almost 40 hours on it now and I love the tractor. It will do more work than you think it will. I was torn between it and an L2800 because there is not too much difference in the price, but so far it has done everything I need it to do better than I expected. I didn't need a MMM so that was not a drawback for me. The FEL works very well and is what I have used the most with the setup. I also got a box blade which has also come in handy. I did get the tires loaded for additional weight and traction and I got the dealer to add a drawbar and cruise control for mowing at a constant speed. Those items are not standard on the B3300SU. I think you will love the tractor. Post some pictures when you get it.
