looking to change out of my b7800

[skindaddy]

looks like the b3200 or b3300 replaces it, but WHAT is the next bigger(size) replacement from the b7800 still in a b series. also i would like a backhoe as i have one now what model would that be? i see people recommend the ATI ssqa attachment , is that still the way to go? because you are only limited to kubotas stuff if you use their quick attach system.
also i how much does it cost to add a remote on the back of tractor? or is this something i can do myself down the road
any special remotes needed to add up front? i cant think of any use

any thoughts or things to consider or add would be great

does kubota have zero% very often, now i see that its just about over and i'm running out of time. because i would like to try to sell myself for a little extra money even though it never seems to go that way when i sell stuff

alot of questions

The B3200/3300 is the largest B. Next in line are the smaller L's. The L3200/3800 are physically not much bigger but a lot more beefier.

any other thoughts guys?

What are these TLB series? looked on kubota site but what really different about them

the b7800 has been a very proven tractor for the kubota b series. mine has over 1000hrs on it in 6 years. love it. the b3200 replaced it. the b3300su is very simular, but no mid pto or cruise control (option). as said before the b3200/b3300su are the largest b's. yes they are bigger then the b7800 by a bit. i was surprised when i put my b7800 beside my new b3200 on how much bigger the b3200 was. not a lot, but very noticable as i first thought they were the same size. as far as the ss quick attaches, i have no experiences with on kubotas. i priced rear remotes for a b3200/b3300su and it came in around $800+ being a true kubota remote. a lot of others have added their own by them selves. info here on tbn. as far as the hydraulics up front, they come with intregrated loader valves to run la504 loader and other attachments. the zero % thing seems to pop up from time to time so i bet it would be back. seems to be a common thing with all makes and kinds as of late. the tlb series have superior hydraulic power as one of the biggest differences. more lift capacity and built more for contractors and very heavy duty use. cost a lot more too.

as far as for "other thoughts" can't say as you don't mention why you want to upgrade bigger. how big? the b7800, b3200 and b3300su can all be fitted with backhoes. i have done a lot of different things with my kubotas. i feel the b series has it all. light enough to go on lawns, heavy enough to move dirt and skid logs, easy to trailer, and easy maintence, and a ton of attachments to go along with them. now if you are going to be involved with a lot of big, heavy projects, then of course a larger tractor would be the better choice. the kubota L series would be a fit. i think the L 3400 is the smallest currently still in production. not sure but the L 2800 and L 3200 have ceased new production i think.

thanks namesray, good input, our b7800 has done great and then some, we were just wanting to go like one size bigger so looks like the 3200,3300
the biggest reason we are looking is the 0%, but we have had it around for awhile and dont want to put a ton of hours on it before we change, next one will probalbly have for many years.

For resale value as well as if you have a failure of of the rear remote valve or system it makes it easier to get parts if it is a Kubota system.
The ATI system is probably your best bet to get to a skid steer quick attach as the Kubota is prioritized to there attachments just like some of the other brands. The ATI system is a little heavier then the factory system which means less potential payload.
