Buying Advice HELP.. THINKING ABOUT 3038E

[foggy1111]

I have to agree on the twin pedals vs the single pedal as found on the Kubota....I don't think I could live with that treadle affair....but I'm sure they are a good tractor too.

I'm not ready to buy a new one (yet)....but it's fun to size up what to buy for my next tractor. I believe I would need to make a jump up to the JD twenty series in order to be happy....and likely learn to live with the hydro whine. But I'm going to check out that power reverser one day.....just to see what that's all about.

I maybe could be happy with the 3032e or 38e....and the price is right....but I am NOT going through another tool box build. :laughing: I cannot believe ANY company can sell a tractor without a toolbox or a cupholder....or at least an optional one. GEEESH :confused2: :laughing:

For me, dealer support becomes the deal breaker / maker....and in my area JD has it covered hands down at present (but the other brands are nipping at JD's heels). If a good Bobcat dealer comes to my area....I believe I'd be shopping his showroom.

I'm just not ready to rob my piggy bank....I'm kinda tight.

Not sure if it's a dealer thing or Kubota but my L3400 came with a small toolbox right behind the slow moving vehicle sign.

The pedal thing has been a non-issue and frankly I don't really understand it. You rest your heels on the floor and use the pedal. If you need to reverse, you rest your heel on the reverse pedal. I have used my tractor for hours with no problem. I guess each person is different.

I really like my Ag tires and I'm glad to decided to go without the R4's. I use mine on the farm and I need maxiumum traction and I'm glad I have it. Rarely do I spin tires even when loading the tractor down.

Drive the L3400 and post up what you find.
