Kubota B3300SU Reviews
All Is Well That Ends Well....
Model Year: 2012
I am quite pleased with my tractor and the FEL and BH which came with it. I did think that the manufacturer had made an engineering error on the design but after posting on the forum was corrected in this notion. It was a dealer error. The blogs have been great and so very informative with an incredible number of helpful and informed folks who seem more than ready to share their knowledge... I am simply amazed with this site.
Pros: Reliable and powerful with a FEL and BH that are very function-able.
Cons: Nothing is cheaarts or work on tractor.

Good Tractor
Model Year: 2012
Tractor smokes quite a bit when starting. A great deal of vibration throughout machine. Must use heater each time you start the machine if sets for over 1hour. Great power and responsiveness. Good tractor for the money.
Pros: Power and responsiveness.
Cons: Vibration, smoking, forward and reverse pedals should be side by side.

My 3300
Model Year: 2013
I like mine but it's taking time to adjust to it's greater length from operator's seat to the front of the bucket.
Pros: Plenty of power. Comfortable seat. Nice, nearly-level deck.
Cons: The PTO lever is very poorly placed necessitating reaching behind you to dis-engage. The bucket control is often "keyed" with my knee when going downhill causing the bucket to drop and the bucket to roll down.

Good Tractor
Model Year: 2013
I ran a little JD 650 for 20+ years. Great machine. Nothing would stop it. It was time for something bigger with a FEL, power steering ,etc. Looked at all the comparable JD's but the price was high and the dealers seemed to have an attitude. Settled on the Kubota 3300SU.0% financing. M4WD, FEL, turf tires. I'm very pleased with it. It's got plenty of power for what I do (logging, land clearing, materials handling). Hydraulics seem good. Tractor handles well. I am pleased with it and would go to Kubota again for another tractor.
Pros: Handles well, compact size, good hydraulics and power.
Cons: Overall quality of materials seems a bit cheap. Plastic where metal belongs. Thin metal where thick metal belongs. I suppose this may be true of all new comparable machines these days but it's annoying. I don't think I'll be driving this tractor in 20 years like my old one.

Excellent All-Around Light Duty Tractor
Model Year: 2012
I am well pleased with this tractor. The hydro-static drive makes operation a pleasure. The loader is very strong with a well built bucket. I had teeth installed at time of purchase and was amazed at what can be done with the loader. I also purchased a tiller, box blade and a rotary cutter. I have been satisfied with their performance also.
Pros: Comfortable to operate for hours at at time.
Cons: Dealer I purchased it from is not well versed in customer service.

Great Little Tractor
Model Year: 2012
Bought this to use inside our goat barns and some brush hogging. It has come in handy for a lot more than we expected. We use it to move 1,000 round bales to our elevated feeders. Very nimble in our converted chicken houses. It will get right up next to the walls when we clean out the pens. The wife and kids love it. Easy for them to use.
Pros: User friendly.
Cons: Tires should come filled.

Awesome Tractor. Couldn't Be Happier!
Model Year: 0
I have had my Kubota 3300SU almost 3 years now and I have 85 hours on it. Maintenance is quick and easy, everything is easy to get to and check. Starts right up every time and it is really economic on fuel. The two best upgrade that I have made are putting on a hydraulic thumb to the loader bucket and extra lights on the ROPS for night work.
Pros: Everything.
Cons: None.

My B-3300-SU HSD
Model Year: 2012
I am satisfied with the reliability and performance, but lacking in some features. It has done what have expected of it as I mow, and work about 2 acres of produce its performance is great. When I purchased it I was told my 3 point hitch Woods backhoe would work with this unit, but was not told I needed to buy a new 4 point sub frame for it to fit the tractor. Of course I was not told this and it cost 2,000 more dollars, of which I did not want to spend. My only complaint is I should have been told up front the hoe needed a sub frameand I would have bought aunit that the hoe would have fit.
Pros: I had a B2150 that was super strong.
Cons: School is still out on how I really rate the B3300SU HSD.
