B3300 .. when?

[msengstock]

I was told the b3300 was to be announced in spring ... we're here ... does it exist? and when can I find real specs vs. the one my dealer told me about the mythical machine that has yes to materialize?

Kind of frustrating when I'm in the maket for a tractor ... could have gotten the 3200 for a good deal and held off but I'm concerned about the vibration issue if it's fixed it the 3300 I'm in.

I would also like to know the status of the B3300 but I really want a B3500!

The B3300SU and L3700SU are both in regular production now and have been arriving on dealer lots. Generally, higher volume dealers are allocated new models sooner. If your local dealer has some on order but none on the lot, expect to start seeing them very soon.

If these units are hitting the lots why is there no info available on them anywhere??

We've got three in crates and one assembled here right now. They look like nice little units, but I haven't had much time to demo them. What questions do you have?

Well I am guessing it is 33hp and it is on the 3200 frame but is it more like a b3200 or is more like the b3030?
I heard that they did not come with mid pto.
Details, details. :confused2:

We don't have any sales brochures yet, but they're on the way. It looks just like a regular B3200. The main difference is there isn't a mid PTO. The tractor still has a metal hood, 3 range HST, foldable ROPS and the white faced/full sweep gauge cluster.

Kubota built this package in direct response to the "stripper" models that the green brand offered last year. This is supposed to be a one time production run, but if they're popular Kubota will bring them on as a regular model. The big price savings are from deleting the mid PTO and invoicing the loader as a package with the tractor.

The MSRP on the B3300SU is about $1000 less than the B3200. End pricing is very region specific, but you should expect to pay less for the B3300SU no matter where you're from. It looks like a great package for a person that wants to do loader/backhoe/3 point work, but has no need for a mid PTO. I'll get the digital camera from my wife and get some pics tomorrow or Tuesday.

Any reviews or opinions or first impressions of the machine yet? It would be nice if they had it on their website. The only place I could even find mention of it was that it does indeed qualify for the 0%/60 month financing deal.

I don't need the mid pto - so I'm inclined to go for the 3300, but then again that's what I said about a backhoe which now has me looking at this machine.

I see Kubota has the B3300 on there website today.
