    Rotary cutter options, driveline, tailwheel and guarding

    I have never owned a rotary cutter before and have some basic questions. I will be using the cutter to cut down overgrown weeds in a rocky environment in Central Texas. I'm looking into the Land Pride RCR1860 cutter and had questions on some of the options. Driveline: shear-bolt, or 2-plate...

    Rotary cutter / shredder for Kubota L3200

    I have a Kubota L3200 and looking into getting a rotary cutter. I live in central Texas and this will not be used on a rock free field of grass, rather mowing down overgrown weeds. I have never had a rotary cutter before. What happens if you do hit rock, is there a good chance the cutter and /...

    Loader  FEL loses up / down power temporarily

    I have a new L3200 and noticed an issue when using the FEL. After using the FEL for around 4 hours, it all of the sudden lost lift power. It could dump / roll back fine, but the up / down was very slow, slower than when running at idle. Then it worked fine in 5 - 15 minutes. The same problem...

    Missing ROP bolts

    We have a new L3200. To me, it looks like bolts are missing that attach the ROP to the tractor. I attached a photo that shows the possible missing bolt (same on both sides). I plan to contact the dealer, but wanted to check with others also, do you have a bolt in that location?

    Do HSTs roll when on slight incline and no pedal / brake

    This might be a silly question, I'm a novice. I was told that the HST tractors will not roll when you take your foot off the pedal (you hardly ever need to use the brake). We have a new L3200 HST, and it rolls when on a slight incline and we do need to use the brake. Does your HST tractor roll...

    Buying Advice  Raising prices March 1st, or just sales tactic

    I am looking into prices for a new L3200 and one dealer told me that Kubota will be raising prices March 1st, an average of 2.5% across the models. Does anyone know if this is true, or just a sales tactic to make you feel rushed?

    Comparison  L2800 / L3200 compared to JD 3032E

    Did anyone that purchased a L2800 or L3200 consider a John Deere 3032E? I'm finding the John Deere to be $1000+ less, which I did not expect. Do you think the 3032E is a comparable model to the L3200? I would be getting a FEL with the tractor.

    Buying Advice  Smaller rock bucket for 3032E / 305 loader

    I am looking into a rock bucket for the 3032E with 305 loader. Do you think the 66 inch John Deere rock bucket is too large for this loader? Do you know of options for a smaller rock bucket, something with less depth around 4 - 5 foot? I can find smaller rock buckets but they require a skid...

    Buying Advice  John Deere compared to Kubota

    I'm new to tractors. How come you choose John Deere over Kubota? I'm not trying to start a war like Ford vs. Chevy, I honestly don't know very much and I'm trying to learn more. I have heard that Kubota is as good as John Deere but around 10% cheaper for the equivalent tractor, I'm not sure if...

    Buying Advice  Do dealers expect MSRP, or typically go down on price

    You can get the MSRP for tractors on the Kubota website. I'm new to tractors and dealers, are they like car dealers where you should expect to pay less than MSRP? Is there a range they typically go down? I assume this various based on location, demand, etc. I don't want to be insulting to the...

    Comparison  Comparing B3030 / L2800

    Sorry if this is a stupid question, but when would you choose the B3030 or L2800? They look similar, but they are in a different series and the B3030 cost around $2500 more. Is there work that the one can do that the other cannot? I'm primarily interested in FEL work clearing up rustic ranch land.

    Buying Advice  Wait for right used model, or just buy new

    Since there are too many variables, this question might not make sense, but I'm trying to decide if it's better to buy new or wait for the right used model. Do you have a rough idea on the resale for used L-series Kubotas (25 - 35HP), not too old, in very good condition? Can you expect to pay...

    Comparison  Comparing L2800 / L3200

    I'm looking into a new tractor (first time owner) and considering the L2800 and L3200 (4WD HST for both). Is there a summary of the differences between these two models? I have read the specifications, and they seem very similar. If they were the same price, would you pick the L2800 or L3200? At...
