I'm currently shopping for a tractor and the 3016/3616 vs Kubota L3200 keep coming up. My local Kubota dealer wants to sell me the last L3200HST on his lot at list price.
The lifting capacity of the loader (not bucket) between the two tractors is astounding. 3016 can lift 1650 lbs vs 1131 lbs for the L3200. The question that begs to be asked is the front axle on the 3016 designed accordingly? I wasn't able to find out any real data on Mahindra's site.
I read somewhere on this site that the 3616 & 3016 are all Mitsubishi manufactured, not just the engine. Is this accurate?
I'm planning on going to the Mahindra dealer this week. I'm curious if the BH is similar to the Kubota BH with 4 pin quick disconnect to the subframe. Guess I'll find out.
Does the 3016/3616 have the famous "jerky" 3 point hitch issue as the Kubota L series does?
It'd be nice to hear from someone who owns both tractors or made the switch from the Kubota L to the Mahindra 3016/3616.
The plan is to purchase a TBL combo unit. How does one find out the MSRP for the Backhhoe and the Loader?
Thanks for your insight.
