Kubota L3200 Reviews
Great Machine
Model Year: 2011
My neighbors insisted I should buy a bigger tractor, but I stuck to my guns and purchased what I needed; a tractor to mow 3 acres. I also purchased a LandPride 6' finish cut mower. This machine is incredible. Now my neighbors want to borrow my machine to mow their property. So much for the bigger tractor idea! I have used the tractor to pull my KIA Optima out of the mud (mother-in-law drove car into muddy field). Tractor pulls a 16' trailer with no problem at all.
Pros: Good torque, comfortable ride, and power steering is great.
Cons: Tool box is too small.

One Touch Tractor
Model Year: 2012
Went back and forth between the L3200 and L3800 and decided the L3200 4WD HST based on my expected uses. Also looked at the JD 3032E which was $2K cheaper, but the build seemed very cheap and only JD attachments can be used. We have a Kubota dealer within 20 miles which also made my choice easier. The L3200 tractor has a lot of power and the HST is very smooth and easy to operate. The LA523 loader is very fast and strong; no problem lifting a loaded bucket of large rocks. I have used a 6 ft. backblade and plowed using a 5 ft. disc with no issues. The industrial tires seem to be a good all around tire choice so far. This is my first tractor and so far, so good. Would recommend the HST and 4WD. Cannot beat Kubota financing either; 0% for 60.
Pros: Powerful, smooth HST, 4WD goes anywhere, very comfortable.
Cons: None.

Couldn't Be Happier
Model Year: 2011
I purchased the Kubota l3200 last November I am building a log cabin so I have really tested this tractor. First thing I have had to clear the area with chain saws and a shredder (mohawk brave 5) to clear the sapplings. Second, I have cut some rather large trees and drug them to a staging area for debarking. My Kubota is 4 wheel drive would never have been able to get a few trees out without it. I think the wheel base is a bit short (hence a compact tractor) since do not have front loader it has a very light end even with 300 lbs of weight.
Pros: Power, price, quality.
Cons: Front end light wish I had a front loader. all compacts will have this problem.

Kubota L3200 Review from Central VT
Model Year: 2011
No complaints at all. 3 pt hitch is jerky, but that's not critical for me. I've plowed snow, graded the driveway, and done some loader work. I have a rotary cutter, straight blade and box blade. I've dragged some logs out of the woods and my next purchase will be a logging winch. My father, sister, and 2 uncles have Kubotas. There are also several in my neighborhood. I looked at comparable cub cadet and John Deeres, but I liked the Kubota better and the price, financing, and local dealer couldn't be beat.
Pros: Hydrostatic transmission is incredibly easy to use.
Cons: None so far.

First Tractor
Model Year: 0
I knew nothing about tractors, never drove one, never used one, never was around them. I rode a few hayrides but that is about it. I bought it with the loader, a post hole auger, and a brush hog with it. The tractor came with the augur attached. The guy who delivered it spent a good hour with me going over everything, I appreciated that. When they delivered it, I was like a kid at Christmas until I saw that 5' brush hog sitting on the ground. My only thoughts were that is to big and looks frightening. I jumped on and started driving tested my skills and its ability on what I thought was steep terrain and learned how to use the loader. Confidence kicked in real quick. Soon I was brush hogging everything in sight. That 5' brush hog isn't so big after all. I can't say enough about the loader and the uses I get from it. I love it and only wish I had the money to buy the backhoe I wanted with it. Oh well, maybe next year.
Pros: Seems very durable, easy to learn and a real work horse.
Cons: None as of yet.

Kubota L3200 Loader/Backhoe
Model Year: 2011
Well, After 2 years of looking at different tractors such as John Deere, New Holland, Yanmar...etc. I ended up back at the Kubota dealer. I bought my L3200 with loader, and bh77 backhoe. I worked this baby hard for 5 days straight so far and I have to tell you this is one awesome (and sharp) tractor. Its everything I have ever wanted in a tractor and more. I know it's early in the game as far as hours are concerned, but so far Kubota is just number one HANDS DOWN above the competition!
Pros: Powerful and user-friendly.
Cons: None!

Kubota L3200 4x4
Model Year: 2011
This Kubota is built on years of proven design and function. I bought it mainly for the newly updated look and pricetag. The fuel consumption is unbelievable and the power is always there to pull my 5ft rotary cutter through some of my thickest pasture. My top three implements used are rotary cutter, boxblade and disk all 5ft wide. The three things I dislike are the jerky 3pt hitch when lifting,live PTO, and the non-synchro tranny. Given the price of the tractor these things are well overlooked considering to get them you would have to step up to the much more Grand L series. I couldn't be happier with the purchase. I plan on adding a Front Grill Guard and a Stabilizer kit for the 3pt hitch.
Pros: Reliable, strong, excellent fuel consumption, easy to find parts.
Cons: Jerky 3pt Hitch, live PTO, non-synchro transmission.

Love the L3200
Model Year: 2011
Have only put 9-hours on this little gem. Really surprised me w/ the power it has. The salesman told me I would be surprised & he was right. Great pulling power & maneuverability. Absolutely love the quick connect - disconnect feature. Will post more when I get more time on it.
Pros: Everything. Very low fuel usage. Only 5-gal after 9-hours.
Cons: None so far.

Finally Decided on the "Orange" One.
Model Year: 2011
First look was at the JD 3032e, price was okay but features where not, then the NH T1520 utility, and that's what I thought "utility", last choice was Kubota and I like the features, the price, the financing and the dealer, the tractor has so far did all I expected, I am new to hydrostatic but am finding it very easy to get used to.
Pros: Easy to use and comfortable.
Cons: Ballast needed for heavy loader work.
