Kubota 3400

[wvhillbilly]

Any opinions on the Kubota L3400 they came out with this year?? From what I have seen it is a FINE piece of machinery!! Will be upgrading this fall and believe this is the route to take. Great price range too. 11-12k is pretty hard to beat. Definately rules out ole' Green. Any experiences out there with this tractor?? The dealer tells me it replaces last year's L3000.

I agree. On the basis of the specs and upgrades it does seem to be a fine machine. Where did you get the 11-12 K price, though? MSRP, I think, is $14,010. I'm also considering one.

Their a big improvement over the L-3000 series.

Is that price for the 2WD or the 4WD?

will depend on your dealer, 2WD is around 11k, 4WD around 12k.

I just purchased the L3400 and take delivery Weds 5-12-04. I can't wait! I did a fair amount of research before deciding on it, but have no real tractor experience, so mine was based on expected needs and TBN information. I will post pictures and experiences as they come.

I bought my L3400 back in March this year. I love the tractor. Handles great for it's size and loads of power. I paid 10,900 for my tractor with the ag tires. They loaded the tires for free and also delivered it. I didn't get the FEL though because of being at my spending limit. I know, big mistake. I live in North Carolina and bought mine from a dealer 35 miles from the house. I had another dealer who was closer, but he wanted a 1,000 more dollars for the same setup. It was worth the extra miles. If you live close to NC I can let you know where I bought mine. Good luck, Gunman By the way, mine is 4 wheel drive.

Well you did a lot better on your price. Ours is with the loader, 4wd, 5' bush hog and 5' box blade. As a novice, are there any things I need to know not covered under the manual? I will try to be very careful with it as I have read the experience of others with accidents and mishaps. How did you break yours in, how hard can you push it when new? I'm sure the first thing you want to do is see all it can do, but maybe thats not a good idea. Thanks for any insight.

Hi Dennis, I just took delivery of my L3400 on Monday. I paid $15,995 for 4wd, 5 ft FEL and loaded tires. I scanned this site for many months before purchasing. Watched all the papers too. Pretty sure I got a decent deal, for being in New England anyway. It did appear though that you guys down south can get tractors for less than we can up here. I think the L3400 sells for $500-$1,000 less in the south. Good luck I love my tractor so far.
