Kubota B3300SU Reviews

Kubota B3300SU
Model Year: 2010

I bought this tractor and a Box Blade to help maintain a 2000 ft dirt driveway. So far it has done everything I hoped it would, and the learning curve was not that bad. Problems: Hydraulic fluid was low at delivery. They did not top it off after installing the loader. Jam nut came off throttle tensioner and the throttle would not stay at setting. Three point hitch tends to drop unexpectedly. This may be operator error, but I suspect the control there needs more tension.

Pros: Easy to operate, small but well powered, 4 wheel drive.
Cons: Some minor quality issues (see review), plus getting use to that loader sticking out. I have dinged a few trees.

Awesome Tractor
Model Year: 2010

I purchased the B3300SU with a loader and backhoe. I am very satisfied with everything about the tractor, but I had a very bad experience with the dealership.

Pros: Performance, quality, & comfort.
Cons: Reversible seat for backhoe, machine could use more weight.

Kubota B3300SU
Model Year: 2010

I purchased this tractor to use around the house and on a 1+ acre garden. The tractor is well built, easy to use and has done everything I wanted it to do. I have R4 tires, and probably should have gotten turf since I plan to use it in the lawn for mulching shrubs, etc., but if I stay in 4X4 and watch the tight turns, it isn't too bad. The key to enjoying the total package is to budget for and purchase or find access to the required attachments for the job you want to complete. The loader is great, but I also need a tiller, plow or chisel, could use a post hole digger, on and on. The best tractor can't do the job without the attachments. I would buy this tractor again for my intended use.

Pros: Ease of use, location of controls, & comfortable seat/driver positioning.
Cons: R4's are a little rough on the lawn.

Good Tractor - Wrong Tires
Model Year: 0

Not a lot of time yet on my B3300SU. So far used only to plow snow. Great tractor, lots of nice features for a reasonable price.

Pros: Excellent price for features and quality. Much better than anything from John Deere or New Holland. Kubota builds a great product (and the build the entire tractor, including the motor). It's not a rebadged product.
Cons: Hate the R4 tires. I wish I could have gotten ag tires. Tractor could us more weight - just added beet juice to rear tires, so we'll see if that helps. Hydro trans is great, especially with loader, but don't like the loss of power or feel. Much preferred gear drive of my old L3000DT.

Extremely pleased with this tractor.
Model Year: 2010

I purchased this tractor with a front end loader and a box blade to do dirt work, landscaping, debris removal and eventually a large garden. I am cleaning up and improving about 2.5 acres in 2 locations and have done a lot of work with the tractor on these two properties. So far I have been extremely pleased and impressed with the amount of work this little tractor can do. It has done everything I have asked it to do, some of which I didn't think it could do. It is a very strong and capable tractor that has performed extremely well. My dealer was great to work with on the purchase and has been very helpful answering my questions. I have had no mechanical problems whatsoever with the tractor and I believe it is an excellent value.

Pros: Strong hydraulics, easy to use controls, lots of power, & a small footprint
Cons: None so far.

Kubota 3300SU
Model Year: 2010

I love using this tractor, but only have a 1+acre garden and lawn chores. Can use it as much as I want. 12 hours and absolutely no problems. Too big to be called a toy, but that is what it feels like. I look for excuses to use the tractor. This is a great tractor, but if you are considering purchase, get the cruise control added. I didn't think it would be a big deal, but with a tiller or mower, you will appreciate being able to rest your acceleration foot.

Pros: Solid build, quick start, good ergonomics for me (6'1").
Cons: Needs quick hitch and cruise control.

Hydrostatic Transmission
Model Year: 2010

Although the HST is great, it's useless when making a sharp braking turn.

Pros: None.
Cons: None.

B3300SU
Model Year: 2010

Purchased the tractor with FEL and hoe. Perfect size tractor for what I need it for. I didn't need the mid PTO for grass, needed the how for planting my wife's bushes in this hard WV ground, done in the past with a digging bar. All-in-All, great machine. Had one issue that the dealer responded to next day, safety switch on the pedal, great guys, good service! Down side, one side access because of the FEL stick, I think the K guys need to fix that for sure. Kids have joy sticks, Granddaddies need one too.

Pros: It's a K, quite, power, does the tasked asked.
Cons: One side access, hoe power, but it may be me, coming down from a larger machine, just not enough on the back side.

2011 Kubota B3300SU w/BH77
Model Year: 2011

Great tractor overall, but has a hard time lifting a bucket of screened top soil. Getting a full bucket of topsoil from pile and curling the bucket at the same time will stall the engine. Backhoe (BH77) is impressive, does a lot more then I would have imagined, my favorite attachment. A set of adjustable forks are also very handy, multiple uses around the property. A joy to work with, very easy to operate, easy to maintain, but very hard to get off when its time to go to bed ;-) All in all, I love this machine! Will get some pictures ASAP.

Pros: Great mid sized tractor, Kubota quality, excellent backhoe attachment.
Cons: A little weak hyd. power with front end loader full of dirt.

First Tractor
Model Year: 2011

I'm new to using a tractor. I have lived on my 8 acres for about 20 years now. All I can say is I should have bought a tractor many many years ago. Since getting my Kubota 3300 it's already becoming a hobby. I've purchased a Land Pride brush cutter, a 3 point drawbar, rear pallet forks which I've built a box for toting items around. This site has been great to get information and ideas.

Pros: Ease of use, quality, removable fel.
Cons: Split brake pedals are useless, would prefer a wider wheel base, not enough clearance for snow chains.
