Kubota L 3700 SU

I hadn't noticed the seat difference. Someone else said that it didn't have cruise control, not a feature that gets used a lot anyway.

Trying to keep things straight for a new buyer is getting harder every day.. this one has this, that one doesn't.. or does it?

I bought one today. It came standard with a quick attach FEL. I added the BH76 BH and an 84" Befco rfm. And yes, the drawbar was an extra $100. It has a different seat then the L3400. It cost about $800 less then the L3400. Although another dealer tried to get the same price out of me.
I haven't seen it yet because they just got it in and it is still crated. They will be delivering it in two or three days. My dealer gave me a brochure and it has 30 PTO HP. I will need that for my 84" rfm.
I am very pleased with my deal. I forgot to mention, it has R4 tires.

The one i was quoted was still in crate but he said in was the same as the 3400 - less cruise and drawbar:thumbsup: all else the same

Why would they not put cruise control on a hydro?

So you don't have to hold your foot on the pedal, it is independent of the throttle control.
Firefighter Jim, I misread your statement, forgot to read the not. Sorry.

It cost them money to do it, and they can sell it without it.

strictly an economy model to cut a few extra $$'s

From the brochure I was given I would say it is very close to an L3400 but not exactly the same. The L3400 HST has 28.5 PTO HP while the L3700 has 30 PTO HP. ( close but not the same )
I am going to my dealer tomorrow to see if has been uncrated yet. If so I will let you know what else I find out.
Also, my deal improved by $800 by taking the L3700. I can live without cruise control, but I do hope the seat is compy.

Boy I don't know guys, I use the cruise control on my L3400 alot when mowing and other tasks. Not sure I'd want a hydrostatic trans without it.

I've had/have cruise on some of mine and never used it yet except to see if it worked. My yard isn't level and I'm constantly adjusting my speed to match my terrain. Have it, never use it.

Cruise control is one of the reasons I went from a very good condition BX2200 to a BX2660, but my wife won't use cruise control on her car or the BX; just depends on the individual. I wonder how well a geared tractor would sell if you could only use the foot throttle to maintain a constant speed.
