Sounds like a decent price based on what I was quoted last year on the 3430 plus Kubota's new year increase others here have pegged around $1K.
A little extra food for thought....I bought the 3130 which was 1,500 less at that time. 3830 was another 1,000.00 from the 3430. Go for the 3430 if you intend to load it down or do allot of PTO work, and can swing it. My 3130 handles it's chores well in current configuration, but a little more HP wouldn't hurt with my setup, which at around 8K lbs. is at the top limits. IMO you won't see much difference between the three models on pushing and pulling though. My 3130 is real impressive in that regard, still suprises me in 2WD the way I'm ballasted. I sometimes use 4wd when bowling pine trees over, in the snow (BH off), or digging in virgin soil. Otherwise, I don't have much need for it with the BH out back. Good tractor for certain.
