Buying Advice Kubota L3800 or L3901 Ready To buy

[Juan23ib]

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone has purchased the new L3901. I知 looking to buy one or the other (3800 OR 3901). Local Tractor Place by the house has both, and would like some advice on the new L3901 from its owners. I know a bit about the emissions but not enough to brag about. I have also read post of general advise on the 3800 in the form of limited qtys. I want to make a decision based on a combination of facts from L3901 owners. And opinions from Long term l3800 owners.

Any help will be appreciated.

3901 reportedly fixes the jerky 3-pt hitch problem. Otherwise it's the same tractor with emissions claptrap and a much higher price.

This pretty well says it all. Can you report on the price difference?

Get the L3800 while you still can.. I've been very impressed with mine!

Package price 26k l3901 25k l3800 tractor, trailer, box blade, loader, mower.

Same package here for the L3800DT is $22895. W/Landpride attachments & 18' trailer.

Yea, same price for the DT. Sorry didnt mention it was the HST.

Guess the HST is a couple grand more, if that's what you want.

I would not get the L3901, much rather have a L3800.

How long has the 3800 been sitting on the lot? I would pass on a tractor that has been sitting for a long time, it's personal preference but since I keep it inside and take care of it I don't want one that has been sitting outside for a while before I get it. The only downside to the 3901 is the increased price, so far from what has been posted on this site and others the emissions seem to be a non issue.

Actually, right now its only about $1000 more.
