Which tractor is top of the "B" series line... B3200 or B3030

[Popb1949]

The b3030 is the premier of all the Kubota B series tractors even better than the new B3350s considering the new tier 4 DPF emissions systems that make buying and maintaining a lot more.
I have 2 B3030s, a B2710, a B2320 and a grand L the B3030 is tops in all aspects of using, maintaining and comfort to drive!
I own 43 acres of pasture / hay ground and 7 acres of lawns to mowe.
Can't beat the B3030s!
I would buy a low hours used B3030 over all the others.

That's a lot of orange! Gotta get you in touch with some of the other Kubota collectors here. Welcome to TBN.

I'm sure glad I bought my B3030 when I did.

My thoughts only, no disrespect to others... I found new crated b3300su this past winter. I put money down, went to pick it dealership jacked up price 4800 more than agreed. So that left me only decision almost new, drive a truck for a living so know about Def (you don't want it, costly problems). I found a b3200 kubota fel/bh/be and woods double roller pulverizer/ woods scrape blade w box scrape plates double pivoting and 58 reverse land pride tiller, got a really good deal. Point is what are using it for and how picky are you. Me, I won't own a 3 cylinder been there had one and tested several. I can tell you it is a very noticeable difference also 3 cylinder has to be operated at higher rpm than the 4 cylinder to perform even the lightest of jobs. I liked the 3030 but could not find one, b3300su was first choice had no intentions for mid pto but since I have it with belly mower, I like it. Now I'm trying to find blower assembly for my rck60-27ba, shaft driven from deck with pulley to pto converter. I watched a video on u tube while searching for vac system by 2jeffs1 but not sure of brand??????

It depends on the displacement and size, among many other things. Some of the large 3-cylinders will of course make more power than a smaller displacement 4-cylinder at lower RPM.

The main advantage of a 3-cylinder is that it is inherently balanced and a lot smoother than a 4-cylinder, which is inherently unbalanced. Once the engine starts to get larger, with more reciprocating mass, that is an important consideration. All else equal, a 4-cylinder would need the extra complications of a harmonic balancer to match a 3-cylinder for smoothness.

You are correct, it was in reference to an older b7500. Rpm reference was bx series. Both are good tractors but was looking for a balance between hp and rpm in a b series. Only really one slight dislike with b3200 is front tire size but engine does seem smoother than the b7500. Had both tractors together, that how I came to that opinion.
