Buying Advice B2920 or B3200

[Hotrocks]

What will you be doing to maintain the 50 acres, bush hogging (how often), planting food plots etc., what is the makeup of the 50 acres?

I'll probably bushhog the 10 acre field 4 times a year. Finish mow a couple three acres once, sometimes twice a week depending on rainfall, plant food plots on an acre or so, landscaping projects, a medium sized garden, making a couple trails in the 50 acres of woods to make it all more accessible, clearing away dead trees for fire wood, maybe cutting down some cedar trees for a little extra money, etc. I'll find all kinds of things to do. There is about a 1 acre stocked pond on the property. The property is hilly and rolling, and probably rocky, about 10 miles from town. I really enjoy the outdoors and this tractor will become my right hand man, right beside the family dog who will most likely accompany me on these excursions.

Well not to start an argument here, but as far as quality and dependability and dealer support I'll take the Kubota anytime. Just look at the Bobcat forum and see how many complain about premature rusting and poor paint and weld quality. Many more talked about weather effecting the electronics. Bobcat for you but not for me. Oh by the way I owned a B3200TLB and never experienced a vibration issue at all. Only quirk I noticed was it had more power then traction, not sure if that's a bad thing.

Not to argue either, but I guess you have never read any of the issues related to Kubotas on the Kubota forum.........

Boy that sounds like the life for sure.:thumbsup:

I have looked both these tractors at different times and bought something else both times, but really like them though. Based on what you will be doing, I would opt for the B3200 for the little bit of added weight, length and weight for stability and power to the ground. Both are good tractors.

I would personally prefer a bigger tractor, but that was not the question.

I almost bought the B3200, but I decided to keep looking at other colors, and kept reading about all brands on this site, and after reading all the horror storys about the excessive vibration of the B3200, and comparing the cheesy construction of the Kubota verses almost every opther color, I pulled the trigger on Bobcat.

Better price point, and as far as I am concerned a much better tractor

:laughing::laughing::laughing::welcome:Always glad to see the envious over here at the Kubota site talking about what they don't have. To bad, so sad, you've made your decision and now you have to live with it.
You can keep looking over the fence and giving your no experience advise if you like. Hope you also visit the other color forums and tell why you didn't buy one of their colors and your no experience with their purchases.:thumbsup: Got to love uplifting and encouraging people like you.

Envious.... hardly

Remorseful...... non existant

Happy with my purchase....... extremely

When I say cheesy, I dare you to compare, compare controls, compare 3 point hitch, compare overall tractor beefyness, compare price point, I spent 2 years shopping, and am perfectly happy with my choice.

Also I do not look at the different forums, I look at Bobcat and "todays posts" I suppose you only look at Kubota. I would say possibly closed minded individual?

Gotta love some of the weird0s on the internet

I will have to agree:laughing::laughing::laughing::laughing:I didn't spend two years "shopping" but I have spent 7 years buying and trying different ones.
