kubota b3200
Hello, Looking at a Kubota B3200 with a Land Pride rototiller for our six acre alpaca farm. We also do two acres of organic vegetables. Is the B3200 big enough? It is a little wet till later in the season. I would use the rototiller to reseed pasture also. Can't afford the hard Kubota cab, does anyone think Curtis over Sims? $17,600 ok for new with bucket? $2200 for the tiller? Thanks you!

Better check on prices of after market cabs:they are almost as much as factory.Sounds like you would want R1(Ag)tires.Not mowing grass?
Don't know about current prices,check Index of / and build your own Less maybe 10%.Is this HST model?,if not would recommend it.
B3200 should be enough tractor for your intended work.Might want to check around on tiller prices/ask for a package price,$2200 sounds a little high but Landprides are suppose to be good.

Yes, this is an HST model, not good? R-1 tires. The Land Pride tiller comes with a 5 year gearbox warranty, it's supposed to be good.

17,600 is a fair price IMO. A litter bit cheaper than what I paid for my B3200. I feel it would be big enough for your tasks at hand. I have the R-4's which are a bit more expensive I think. So your price and mine are comparable.

Since the B3200 is not offered with a cab option, an aftermarket cab is your only choice, just be sure it has AC or is easily removed as it will be very hot in the summer time. A B3030 or the Grand L3240/3540 have cab options, but cost quite a bit more.

A 32 HP tractor will do all you need to do quite well.

Thanks Triple R, hope you don't mind if I steal your quote. Very appropriate.

Based on my experience with our B3200 with tiller, it will be fine.
I don't know where you are located or if there has been a price increase since we bought ours May of 2010, but we paid $16,100 for the B3200 with loader, no mower.
We have R4 tires and haven't had any issues.

I have a b3200 with the landpride tiller. I like the tiller. seems very well built and very heavy. I have clay soil and when its wet it is very nasty. I had a bx with mowing tires and i must say i hated those tires. i looked into replacing the tires and figured it was better off just starting over with another tractor. sometimes i wonder if i should have gone with the b3030. i know it was a mistake to get the 500 over the 1100. oh well

good luck!

You may want to have one dropped off and see if you like it. I had the b2920 and had it picked up after a weekend.

I have B3200 TLB MMM and Buhler snowblower. I really enjoy my 3200 even though I haven't got to use it much so far. I don't think that you would go wrong with this tractor.
