Under construction: B3350SU

[Beauly]

So after lurking here for many months, I last week placed an order for a B3350SU, from my local dealer. Went in today to sign paperwork etc, and take a look at progress on the tractor.

As I am sure you all know, the dealer has to put these guys together out of their crates.

So mine is getting built on loaded turf tires, (much lawn on the property here that I don't want to destroy when I drive over it) the basic front end loader of course, and a Kubota 64" snow blower, (3 point hitch version of course).

Thought you might enjoy seeing a snap of it being 'built'.

Cheers!

well yes... to your point, there had better well be lots of snow this winter!

Sweet! Don't worry about snow- if not this winter, then next. Other than the lack of a cab, that's a machine I'd love to have in my barn.
You get lots of use and help from it.

thanks...

just moved to a new (too us) home that has about 5 acres of fields and a little forest, apple trees etc around the house. Long (paved) drive way, so I am not interested in the snow removal process with a regular walk-behind snow blower, so a 'plow guy' was going to have to be called, and there are many things that we will be doing around the house in years to come, (gardens, landscaping, orchard, etc) that I felt the tractor should certainly play a role, so might as well get one now...

So the B3350SU, seemed a good fit, getting the extra HP for a little less money by not having mid mount PTO and position control, and a couple of other minor things. DPF yes, but I think I can handle it ok.

So will send images of when it arrives....

I owned a B3300SU. Fine tractor-loader.

I would replace the factory NON-RIGID turnbuckle stabilizers on the Three Point Hitch with a set of pinned and adjustable RIGID stabilizers from Mark Hodge at Stabilworks early on.

<$200 Excellent workmanship.

I have optional $500 Position Control on my current L3560. However, darned if I did not find the Quarter Inching Valve (QIV) on the B3300SU more useful. Be sure to learn how to set up/adjust the QIV. It is so simple it can be confusing.

If you are going to use a Rotary Cutter/Bush Hog you will want a set of $30 Limit Chains.

Well ok, This is one of the things that the regular 3350 has, but not the 3350SU. But yes, my thought was that I could simply buy a set, for far less than the price difference between the 3350 and the 3350SU, (I understand the major cost items are position control valve and mid mount PTO)

Thanks I'll take a look.
