New B3200 Owner

[WyattEarp]

Hello everyone, I'm a new owner of a 2010 B3200 / FEL with 144 hours. I purchased it used from a guy about 90 minutes from me and just towed it back home. I think I got a great deal on it, so the extra drive was worth it.

I just wanted to say hello, because I'm sure I'll be asking questions from time to time!

Welcome to the forum. Tons of good stuff here. I also recently bought a used B3200. So far, no complaints.

Welcome to TBN.Congratulations on the tractor,it looks like new.

Thanks fellas! The guy I purchased it from was hours away from trading it in on a new MX series, so he basically let me buy it for trade value at $13K with a set of forks included.

That is a great find for 13K. I paid 13.5 for a B2920 w/fel for 13.5K (with 26 hours) last fall and thought I got a good deal.

How smooth does your B3200 idle/run? I did look at a new one at a dealer, and that particular 3200 was a extreme vibrator.

I've never owned a tractor before, so not much to compare it to, but it idles very smooth. It feels like a new tractor...

If it would just get warm out now

If you're used to a 3-cyl in the 2620/2920, the 4-cyl in the 3200 indeed feels a lot more shaky. It's the inherent nature of 3- versus 4-cyl engines.

I hear ya on the weather problem. Glad you got a smooth runner.


Are you after any attachments for your new 3200?

I have read that the lil 4 bangers seem to vibe more than the lil 3 bangers. Some 3200's seem to be much worse than others though. I only seen just the one 3200 at the dealer.

The primary reason I purchased the 2920 was availability. I saved bunches just like the OP on going used. :thumbsup: If a 3200 would have come up instead of the 2920, I prolly would have gotten that instead, as long it was a reasonably smooth runner.

So are the bigger tractors smoother that have the four cylinder engines in them?
