I've got a 2003-4? (this is its second summer) Thinking about selling it, but don't know how to determine what it is worth. It's pretty much stock with the below options. Specs. L3830 with GST, industrial tires, fluid in rear, loader with removable toothbar, rear lights and loader lights...

I have a 6 King Kutter bushhog on my L3830. It seems no matter how I adjust my 3 point configuration, it just doesn't cut right. I borrowed a 5' from a friend and it worked perfectly. I was wondering what position my top link should be in? It has three spots to put it in. It looks like if I...

Where can I get some trimmer racks for an open trailer? I have a 5x8 trailer I want to upgrade this year and need some of the items to haul my mowing stuff with. I drive a jeep and have no room in it for the extra things. I have to be real creative when I load to get everything to fit. Does...

I've done a search on box blades and most of the brands mentioned I was not familar with. I'm located near Bloomington, IN and I am looking for a 6' box blade. I've got a L3830 with FEL and toothbar. I am currently borrowing a 5' one, but it isn't wide enough. I've looked at a Wallace at...

Where has everyone put lights on their tractors? I would like to add a couple up front, so that I can see with the bucket still attached. thanks, Dave

What should I expect to pay for a backhoe for my Kubota L3830? Are there good off-brands I might consider? Thanks, Dave

Can anyone suggest some cost saving ideas for a board fence? I want to put a board fence around part of my property. It will be used to define the property lines and be decorative. It won't be used to fence in livestock. I just think it would look really nice. I was thinking buying 4"x96"...

I need a project for the winter. Has anyone tried making a 3pt. log splitter attachment? I have access to a hydraulic log splitter cylinder and was wondering if I could power it from my tractor hydraulics. I have a L3830. My uncle built one using the PTO and long time ago, I just thought I...

I am trying to find the optimal battery setup for my jeep. Currently I use a normal 12v starting battery as my main battery and a deep cycle for my aux. battery. This has worked for about 3 years, but the deep cycle doesn't hold up. The main battery starts the jeep, runs headlights, and gauges...

I need some help with two questions. First, my shelter house will have a 4/12 roof pitch and the shelter house will be 20' wide. How do I calculate the distance form the peak to wall? For instance I need to know how many perlins (sp) I need to run to be 2' on center. Also, how deep should I...

Just wondering how everyone liked their L3830 with FEL. I've been happy with mine, but a little disappointed in the power. However, I'm thinking I am expecting too much. It performs well with the loading, but any digging takes some finesse because it stalls out. With fluid in the rear tires...

How does everyone recommend setting the 4x6 post for a pole barn/shelterhouse? I think I will do what the Amish said, but I wanted to hear what everyone else does too. They said dig a hole 40" deep, pour in one bag of quickcrete, set the pole on it, and pour a second bag around the pole. Then...

Thinking about building a 24x16 shelter house. 10' ceiling and 1' overhang. Does anyone know of a good web resource on how to do this or designs? I am planning on using 2x6 trusses with 4x6 post. The roof will be metal. Just wondering if anyone could share their experience with me. Thanks...

I just bought a brand new King Kutter 6' rotary cutter from tractor supply. I know I have to service it, grease it, and fill with fluid. Is there anything else anyone suggests I do while preping it for use or to help maintain it? I'll follow the assembly instructions, but just wanted to know...

Getting ready to go just north of Alanta for training this week. Just wondered if anyone new of good implement or trailer places on the way. I'll be leaving from Bloomington, IN and going to Suwanee, Georgia. Thought I might take an oppurtunity to look for a trailer and 6' bush hog on my way...

I originally ordered a HD 72" round back pin on bucket. The dealer is giving me a standard 72" quick attach, square back bucket to try until mine comes in. If I like it, I can keep it at the same price. For mild, ocassional use will I every really notice the difference? Both will have a bolt...

I just wanted to post some comments on my buying experience. I have/am purchasing a L3830 GST with FEL. It has been an eventful experience , but overall I am pleased how things are working out. At first, my dealer did not meet his delivery date and consequently missed the next two , but his...

I've been waiting on the dealer to install my FEL. He first told me he was missing a valve, bucket, and tooth bar. So he gave me the tractor until he had the rest. I talked to him yesterday and he said he was just waiting on the bucket. I ordered a pin on, heavy duty round back bucket, 72"...

Been trying to get a tractor for 3 weeks now. Found one, had everything ready to go and found a much closer dealer that was $1500 less. I went back to the first dealer to ask about matching the price. They could only come down $500. So there was still a $1000 difference. I was polite and...

What are the dimensions of the L3830? My internet keeps crashing when I attempt to log onto Kubota's website. I am most interested in length and width. With or without the FEL. Thanks, Dave

I hope to purchase a Kubota L3830 with FEL and 6' bush hog. Just wondering what size/length of trailer I should get. I have lots of experience with trailers, so I've got a good idea but thought I would get some input since I've rarely hauled a tractor w/FEL and with bush hog attached. I am...

Bush hog dimensions, 6\'? Does anyone have the dimensions for a 6' bush hog? The overall outside dimensions? I am looking at a trailer and would like to get an idea weather or not it is wide enough and long enough. It will be mounted behind a L3830. Thanks, Dave

Can anyone suggest some ballpark figures on the following setup? I'm located in central Indiana. JD990, Ag tires, & FEL w/bolt in tooth bar. My local dealer priced this setup to me for $19,500.00. Thanks, Dave

Where is a good place to get a radio for a tractor and a drawbar? Is this something to be picked up a the dealer or maybe a tractor supply store? Thanks, Dave

Saw in the local paper tonight. JD 4400 w/FEL for $14000. Said it was a 2002. Can anyone make any educated guesses on what features it has. It said nothing about hydro and had 175 hours on it. Under what circumstances could this be considered a good deal? I may call tomorrow and get more...

How much difference is there between these two machines? Will one do something the other won't? I would assume the L4330 will be slightly faster and stronger, but for light/medium duty work will I ever really notice the difference? The work would include pulling a 6' bush hog and light FEL...

Well, I've almost gotten up enough courage to buy a Kubota L3830 w/FEL (heavyduty bucket with teeth), 4wd, R4 tires, and w/GST transmission ($21,000). I'm just having a difficult time calling the dealer I have to have a tractor, but do I need this much of one? ...yes....I think so (See my...

How well do the R4 tires hold up to thorn trees? A friend on mine has a Ford 3000 (2wd, Gas) and just put new tires on the front of his tractor. Both tires were flat after one day because of thorn trees. He had them filled with foam and they've been fine since. I'll soon be purchasing my...

Light duty 6\' bush hog? What does everyone recommend for a 6' bush hog? It will be used behind a Kubota L3830. Pretty much just light duty. I'll be using it to mow 15 acres, 3 times a year. The first time will be the worst. However, my fields haven't grown up in sapplings yet. Pretty...

This is the final price the dealer gave me. $23,776 including tax. Don't know if I can do the no tax farm thing. I live in Greene County Indiana. The tractor is a Kubota L3830 w/GST, R4 tires, FEL w/heavy duty bucket (pin on), bolt in teeth, and Woods 6' bush hog. It appears to be a good...

I'm looking at buying a TC40 or L3830. Both dealers have offered me a similar deal. This deal is at the dealers risk and has no ties to Bota or NH. The Deal: No credit check, you pay %5 of total cost of tractor each month (for up to 9 months), at any time you can buy the tractor outright...

Just had a pole barn priced. 24x24 with 1 sliding door and one 36" walk in door. 10' ceiling, gravel floor, no insulation. Just a plain and simple barn. They quoted me $5465.00 installed This is assuming the excavation is complete before they start. Does this seem like a good price? Dave

Is there any important differences between a 4 cylinder vs. 3 cylinder diesel? I am looking at buying a Kubota L3830 and a NH TC40D. I believe the NH has a 4 cyl. and the Kubota is a 3 cyl. There is a little bit of hp difference too, but do you think it is enough to notice? How about fuel...

I finally found a dealer who would let me play on a new tractor. It was a L3830 with the glide shift transmission. He priced it at $21,000.00 with the standard FEL, heavy duty bucket with bolt in teeth, pin on bucket, and R4 tires. Seems like a pretty good deal to me. It was $900 less for...

Does anyone know the approx. price for a L4300? I was talking to a dealer last night and I think he quoted the wrong tractor for me. I asked for one the would pull a 6' bush hog. He suggested a L3400, but I think that is one size to small. It was quoted at $15,500 w/FEL. I was also...

Anyone have any thoughts on these tractors? I'm going to look at some this weekend. If they quoted me correctly, the L3400 was about 15,500 and the L3830 was just over $19000. Both geared and with loaders. I am comparing them to a TC40A and JD 990 or 4510. I plan on using a 6' bush hog with...

post hole digger and 6\' bush hog pricing? What are good prices for a post hole digger and 6' bush hog? I am looking at a 40 hp tractor and think these will be the implements I want to buy with it. I think the 6' bush hog can be bought for about $700-$800 at a tractor supply, but I don't know...

How does everyone like their 990's? I'm thinking about choosing it over the 4510, because of a $3000 price difference. Is it worth it? Assume the 4510 is geared w/power-reverser. The FEL will not be used too much. The primary use will be bus hogging and grading. Thanks, Dave

Anyone have any pictures of a creek crossing they built? I've got to build a ford across my creek and just wondering what other people did. The water is about 12-15' across. The depth is 6-18". What makes it bad is the banks on either side. They are 10'+ high and are real sandy. A friend...

I was looking a NH TC40 w/FEL for about $20,225. What models should I compare it too in a JD, Kubota, or other brand? The TC40 was a geared machine, with 4wd, and the loader was a 16LA. Thanks, Dave

Stopped and looked a TC40 w/16LA loader. The dealer wanted $20,225.00. They wanted $19,025.00 for the TC35 and $15,000 for the TC30. Each of these tractors come with loaders, 4wd, and is a geared machine. He offered a rent to own plan too. You pay %5 of the total cost each month, for up to...

I've got an 8122 riding lawn mower. It's in good shape and has a new 50" deck with a good 40" deck to go with it. It is a 12 hp Kohler motor and has been maintained well. How much do you think its worth? I don't use it much anymore and was thinking about selling it. Thanks, Dave

Anyone every built a pole barn and used it as a house? Thinking of constructing something around a 40x60 with a small 1 bedroom apartment in it. Something I can do inexpensively and then use when I build a home later. I'm not married and not dating anyone. I've thought about living in a pole...

Could someone briefly sumarize the differences between the two? I priced a 4310 w/FEL and powerReverser for around $18K. They never mentioned a 990 as an option only a 790 as another option. Thanks, Dave

What is Farm tax exemption? I've seen it mentioned and wondered if I would qualify for it. I have 62 acres and I am located near Bloomington, IN. Thanks, Dave

Is it very common for dealers to have "packages" with their tractors? Something like FEL, bush hog, yard box, and trailer? Thanks, Dave

This is my first post here. I am located new Bloomington, IN. I am looking to buy a tractor to maintain 62 acres. I have about 15-20 acres that will need to be bushhogged about 2-3 times a year. I will also need to maintain a ford across the creek. The tractor will need to pull at least a...
