My complaints on my B3200

[General Lee]

The vibration issue already being discussed here on the boards.

AND


The tractor is just to **** light for the power it has.

I wish I did better research before hand and maybe got an L series instead.

My Grand L 4200 is not as heavy as I wish it were... BUT
You can add weight to a light tractor a lot cheaper than you can add horse power to an underpowered one. KennyV

You do know tractors can be sold and traded just like cars, don't you? I have/had a B3200 which grew to be to big for my needs so I just traded it for a BX25 last week. I had a B7800 and got it paid off so I traded it to a L3240HST. I had a L3240HST that was to big and underpowered for my jobs so I traded it to a B3200. That's one of the wonderful things about America. When we get dissatisfied with something or someone we can just trade em' off and get a different one. Post yours on Craigs list, go see your local Kubota or other dealer or call Barlows. I know Barlows will trade you. If you've paid enough on it or had a down payment you can trade for another one which will make you happy for a few months for about the same monthly payment. Life's to short to be unhappy! Get up, get out or get on that phone, man. Just do it!!! Life's passing you by every second you wait!!!! The economy needs it to and someone out there with a less HP B or BX wants your light weight B3200. Get up, now!

No but they treat him like family. He is a significant customer. John I am having a lot of fun with this I guess I should stop because its at your expense.

I have mixed emotions about the "lightness" of my 7800. I really like how quick and nimble it feels running around the yard with the finish mower but I wish it was a little tougher built at times too. Theres no perfect tractor, heck theres no perfect 2 tractors, you will always find a model that will do a certain task better. If the thing is reliable for you then you made out alright I'd have to say.

I say if one just does not do everything you want then get another one. The thing about Kabota is they have a model for every day of the year and then some

After owning a 3200 for 18hrs I can say that the vibration problem is not really a problem anymore. Unless you need live/independent pto and telescoping 3pt arms the 3200 & 3030 are identical. I use a quick hitch so telescoping arms are of no use. The cruise is nicer on the 3030 if you use cruise, I don't so that makes no dif to me. The extra many thousands of $$$$ does make a difference though.

The B3030 also has position control which is important to me. I do like the smaller loader mounts on the B3200. Less hardware on the tractor that way. Nothing wrong with those on the B3030, though. I have had my B3030 since 2005 and it is perfect for my needs. Heavy enough for loader work with loaded rear turfs and still light enough to mow the lawn. It also vibrates somewhat but, nothing I can't live with. I like that it never lacks for power. Just pick the right gear and go. BTW, how many $$$ difference is there between the B3030 and the B3200? The B3030 was about $1800 more than a B7800 when I bought mine. Worth it to me. No regrets here. Good luck.

Well I was at the dealer here the other day and he quoted me $4000 difference.
Made me choke
