New L3302

[6string]

I took delivery of a new L3302 with the 526 loader yesterday. I put 2.3 hours on it today cutting grass today. I should have bought one of these ten years ago. I traded my 2008 JD 3005 on it. I didn’t realize I had that tractor that long. I got the gear drive transmission and am well pleased how smoothly the overrunning PTO clutch works. I worked for a neighbor several years ago that had a L3400 that we used mainly for pasture and road ditch mowing and using a finishing mower with and the ORC on it was very noisy and it took a lot of time working out corners and cattle pens. The one on my new tractor is quiet and re engages smoothly with no banging and popping. The clutch dogs on the ORC were probably worn. The 3302 has the exhaust regen. That’s the only downside to me. I also got the AG tires.

Congrats on the new tractor. Kubota has done a good job making the ergonomics better on the new L series tractors.

Indeed, the newest Standard L really resolved most of my issues with the last generation. I might have an L2502 had they been available when I purchased my Kioti!

Enjoy the L3302, it ought to provide many years of excellent service.

There's another orange tractor on the market now, Bad Boy.

Yes, legacy Branson tractors, they look good in orange for sure.
