Buying Advice Kubota L3430 advice

Run Forrest run.

There's a guy 45 mins from me selling a 3930 with 65 hours on it for the same price that one costs. No loader but an almost new tractor.

This might be the occasion where a low ball offer is in order.

Thanks for all of the information. I did make a decision. Made the dealer rounds and found a Kioti DK35 at a local dealer. It was a customers tractor in for a full service and new hydraulic pump, etc. Their customer became ill, long story short, it has half the hours of the Kubota, known history, recent full service and diagnostics and many new hydraulic components. Excellent mechanical shape, ok cosmetically. Rear hydraulics, shuttle shift, filled tires, etc. Getting it with a slightly used box blade for $10,500 delivered.

Thanks for letting us know the outcome. It's much more fun for us that way. You don't mention it, but I assume that it comes with a loader. Sounds like a great deal. We'd love to see some pics once you've got it. Congratulations!!

Here are a few pictures from Craigslist. It should be delivered Friday. I'm sure I'll have many questions as I get up and running with this. Thanks for your advice, it was quite helpful.

Should last you a long time. Do you have room to store it under cover?

I will be able to store it under cover most of the time. We have a barn aisle we can use for now at night and at some point a shop.

Looks good!

A family member has a DK35 he likes a lot. Very versatile size inside and outside his buildings.

You made a good choice for your organization, saving present and future costs of repairing the worn L3830. If the loader was worn out the whole drive train is likely living on borrowed time.
