New B3200 Owner

[David Devuono]

Picked up a new to me, 2011 Kubota B3200. It has 78 hrs on the clock and as it was used by a dealer, I got it as a demo model with full Kubota warranty (IE powertrain to Feb 2016). It priced out the same as a 2013 Mahindra Max28XL Shuttle (gear), but the HST will be better for the wife and I will have to learn to love it. No worries about putting the first ding on it, cause it has a few. Now just have to wait till next weekend when I can get it up to camp and move some snow. There is not a lot of clearance for chains on this model.

I would add some fluid in the rear tires or some other weight to the back because these are light with a FEL, I put 156 hrs on mine before I traded up on a mx last yr. They are great on fuel, plenty of power too.

I will probably go with a weight box and use my Box blade for now. Later hope to build a subframe for my 3pth Backhoe. I believe I read in the manual where they don't recommend tire balast with a Backhoe option.

You will like the B3200. Filled tires are the way to go. I do have a Backhoe on mine about 75% of the time and always leave the tires loaded.

I have a 2011 B3300SU with a B77 BH. My R4's are loaded & I installed 2" wheel spacers from Bro-Tek on the rears to accommodate tire chains if I decide to pull the trigger on chains. Have fun! Mine only had 19.6 hours on it when I found it on Tractorhouse.

I did wip together a weight box. Just a bag of sand and some "barbells" in it now but the plan is to fill it half full of cement and leave room to carry my chainsaw stuff around.

Oh and paint it too.
