B3300SU becomes L3700SU

Be sure to have them set your wheels out as far as they will go for added stability in the hills.

Thanks!

I'm unclear as to what is possible there? Are you talking wheel spacers, reversing rims, or wha?

With the terrain here though, I'm completely fine until I'm completely in trouble. I think my best defense is precise control and spatial awareness. I have reasonable ground interrupted with 65 degree drops. I backed my Ford Ranger off a couple of years ago and the bush was sufficiently dense to catch it in a nose up position, just over the edge. If you're going to drive off a cliff, keep the vehicle at a 90 degree angle to the edge. :shocked::shocked::shocked:

Congrats! great choice:thumbsup: Your gonna love it! Get the dealer to add cruise... you wont regret it. ($200 option) I added a three point hitch type draw bar that makes it easier to just back up and hook up to your trailer with out getting off the tractor. Have Fun and send pics!:thumbsup:

I was about to purchase a B3300SU but given my needs, terrain, configuration and price, I have purchased an L3700SU.

This is an L3400 "stripped down" according to the seller, but stripped of what that matters, I don't know.

You trade the drawbar and cruise control on the L3400 for the quick attach skidsteer type FEL bucket, 1.7 engine HP, 1.5 PTO HP, and (according to the Kubota build your tractor web quote) a $876 price cut.

Seems you could add back the $126 drawbar and the $200 cruise control and still be $550 ahead on price with the HP extras.

That is exactly why I went with the 3700 over the 3400. I had the cruise and drawbar added and the tractor was still less expensive than the 3400 with a little more horsepower.

I looked and looked for the catch and couldn't find one.

Depending on your wheels, one or two piece there are a couple of ways of doing this, reversing the dish is one. While it can be done by the owner, the tire/wheel combo are pretty heavy, so I always have it done prior to delivery.

May want to add a block heater. It gets chilly in the mountains of the USVI, right.

I don't know about that but I might need a snorkel air intake if it keeps raining.

Thanks. I'll receive it as is and make a change here later if it seems the thing to do.

I got one a while back and love it. Looked at the 3400 but had to go with the 3700 for the price and power

You are going to love your L3700. I do mine.

Still RAINING!

TS/HURRICANE Otto is so far North of here it seems impossible that the effects continue. 1.49 inches so far today, 10.99 inches in the past five days. My road is in shatters and when the sun comes out, the jungle will be marching forward on my land. We've had over 26 inches of rain since August 1, an unhealthy amount for sure.

I don't expect the 3700 on island before November 15 and will have plenty work for her, once arrived.
