Price Check Kubota L4330 and L5030 HST-F Price check

[5030]

I have a cab model 5030 with all the bells and whistles and I farm with it, well, hay with it. I bought it when the first introduced the model and I have around 700 hours on it now. 700 HARD hours. No problem except the air conditioning which I resolved. If you get the LA853, get the quick detach. It fits all my Bobcat attachments. I don't have the torque rise specs handy, the shop manual is in the shop, but the torque rise is much better on the 5030 as opposed to 4330.

PTO horspower and achieved torque really don't count for much, especially on a tractor. The torque rise is what is important. The torque rise is what keeps the implement going when the implement is loaded heavily, suddenly. It's like if you were pulling a tiller through soft ground and hit a section of clay. The ability of the engine not to bog down is the torque rise.

Good hunting with your decision. I am about to check out a 1998 L4200 & loader which I was told is an old relative to the L4330. Does anyone have any comments on this series? Supposedly in excellent condition with 600 hours. Seems $15K is a price the dealer wants to live with. Does this price seem high for a slower midwest market place? Makes it tuff with the incentives on the new 35 HP range big 3 tractors out their. Thanks.

L4200 is a GREAT Kubota… I have a 1998 GST… Mine is just over 900 Hours, never even the slightest problem. I am assuming the one your looking at is a 4x4 GST.

The price may be a little high, how nice is this machine? There are a few things that could bump the price like…How many rear remotes do you get /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif? Dose it have Creeper gearing? Very handy /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif. Draft control /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif? How about the loader LA680 or LA681 or a different series? Is the bucket Quick Tach /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif? There were also a few buckets optional. How are the tires?? are they AG, Ind. Or Turf? Only other thing I could think of is … Got a factory cab /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif?
In any case you have low hours, if this is a well maintained tractor it is going to be trouble free for MANY more. It’s quite a work horse. KennyV.

By the way Charlie … Welcome to this site some very interesting folks here, and great help /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif. …

Just got too wrapped up in ‘you may get a L4200’. Need less to say, I can not say enough about mine, I love it. Also just noticed previous reply was my 99 th… so I’m really happy to welcome a new member (especially one looking at a L4200) With my 100th post /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif.

I've owned a 4330 (with a cab) since 2004. I have a 70 acre farm in Ohio and mowed 18 acres every week with this machine. I also have an 853 front loader, brush-hog, York rake and 7' blade. This tractor has been the work horse of the farm. It is the device I use in the fall when cutting wood for the season. In fact, I sold my IH case and my Massey-Ferguson and used the Kubota solely the last several years. I have never had a problem with it in any way, shape or form. I moved to MN last year, still own the farm in Ohio and I have not moved the tractor up here yet. I only have 2.5 acres, but sorely miss the tractor & front loader. I am looking at different options to bring it up here. If you buy one, and it was properly taken care of, you will not regret making the purchase.

J Allen, welcome to TBN. Glad you like your Kubota but this is a real old thread.

Is it correct that the 4330 and 5030 use the LA853 FEL?
