2015 Kubota F3990

Michael101 · May 2, 2017

I'd really appreciate some feedback if any body has experience with a 2015 F3990. I've found a good price on one, but I will need to purchase it unseen because it is out of state. How do people like it? Reliable?

I'll be mowing 10 acres of hilly with some rough terrain. Can this Kubota handle it? This will be my first large mower, so advice/ thoughts is very welcome.

Best,

Michael

I've owned/own two F3080s for some years and a F2680e for several years but not a F3990.

Hi John, thanks for the reply.

Have you heard any recommendations about the F3990 from others? How do you like your Kubotas? I was considering a large grasshopper mower, but have heard from various people that the Kubotas are built a bit hardier for the 10 acres I will be mowing. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Best,

Michael

I mow up to 8 acres with my Grasshopper 930D2, bought used. It's a nice mower, and I love the deck out front. As with all front deck mowers however, it's not great on hills, and even with the chevron tires I have to back up some hills. I've never used an F series Kubota, as the price is out of my range. It's got a steering wheel instead of the levers, and I believe it is not true turn-on-its-axis zero turn. For your purposes on hilly land, however, I would think a four wheel drive Kubota F would be the bees knees. Someday I hope to get one.
