Stopped by the dealer to inspect and test drive my new B3030 before he transports it to me . 1. I noticed when in hi gear (rpms around 1500) and I step on the petal lightly to try to slightly inch forward it will lurch forward. The service manager says this is part of the design of the transmission?This does not happen in the lower 2 speeds.2.On a slight inline the tractor will roll backwards or freewheel with my foot off the accelerator petal. Can this be adjusted so that it will not roll on a incline when my foot is not on the petal? My B 7300 tractor stopped every time and would not even roll on a incline. 3. Are the rear outlets just a plug and cover plate located near the rear transmission? 4. Has anyone heard of when the fix is coming for the vibration issue? I spoke to the technician at Kubotas Northern Division in August and he said it should be coming soon. I was really pleased with the performance\features of the B7300 tractor and hope this one performs as well.

I have not noticed mine lurching foward in high gear. I dont think I have a vibration issue however my FEL is one that is off. I like the tractor it meets my expectations in performance.

Hi CZR, If you have the RPM up and hit the pedal it's going to lurch to a degree,Like in your car,rev it up and drop it in gear it's going to go,will be more noticeable in higher gearI do not have a FEL problem,nor do I have any bad vibration others have talked about. As far as freewheeling on hill I have not noticed,will check it out and let you know.Rear hyd. outlet is in the rear/right side,sort of a diamond shape plate.I really like my B3030,just the right size and power. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif Best Regards wbfllamas

i like mine a lot too. very capable for size. some people say it's too light but i can add weight when i need it and take it off when i dont. i had a jd2210 (great little machine also) prior to this. 3030 will go places 2210 could not due to more ground clearance and folding rops. the 3ph also stays where you put it rather than up or down and doesn't bleed down. mine does vibrate more than i like and fel is off like others but neither is a major issue to ME and wouldn't change my mind about doing it again. 15 hours of motoring bliss so far
