LS R3039

I too just purchased a R3039 with back hoe. have about 17 hrs on it. I wasn't able to view the video. What am I missing? It doesn't sound good.

Look at the pictures in that thread of the reinforcing kit. If you don't have it, contact your dealer and get it. You'll also see the area on the frame where the problem happens so you can watch yours and know what to look for.

The dealer quoted me 19900 for tractor+FEL sounds high to me.

I guess it depends on where you are and the market rate. I think around here they were going for around $18k range new. But you also have to remember the supply of these is drying up (no longer made) and some people (like me) would rather get a tier 3 engine than a tier 4 so it could be a supply and demand thing.

I paid $19,100 B4 tax two years ago. Sounds like a good price to me.

Skip the 3039 and step up to a 4041 or 4047. Stronger, heavier, no frame issues.

And just a bit more money for a lot more tractor. I was quoted ~ 25k for a R4047 with 3rd function remote last summer when I finally decided on my Kioti.

I have a 3039 and love it. I cracked the frame and had the updated brace done and can't foresee an issue. I used it to clear 6 acres for a hobby farm and use it commercially to maintain hobby farms in the area. I have 600 hrs on mine and the hydraulic pump is turned up. How much I don't know but it will lift a full bucket of anything i can put in it. I don't have ballast in the tires but I keep the backhoe on most of the time. I have a 50 gallon sprayer w/ 18' span, a 72" rotovator, 72" box scraper, a 60" brush mower(will cut 2" thick) and a 12" post hole auger and a 72" snow blower. I use this machine hard and have just replaced bushings and there is no sign of it slowing down. It uses all the implements well and they don't bog down. I bought this one because it has lots of power for the size. It can do whatever I need and gets around easily. Cracked frame, If that's my (or LSs) only problem and it's already been addressed, big deal. Every manufacturer has defects. Look at Chevy. LS took care of the problem immediately. That says tons!

Local asking prices for a new R3039 is around 17,999 and 19,999 for the R3039H
Local CL by me has a 2012 R4041H with BH for $19,999 and only 94 hours. Wish he had it for sale 6 months ago.
