New L3200

[hollnagelc]

I just bought my first tractor. It's a L3200 HST 4x4 with FEL. I've only used it for 6 1/2 hours so far but it has been great every minute. The HST is nice love the 4x4 really glad i got it don't think I would buy one without it. The 3 pt hitch does have some jerkiness to it I adjusted the valve under the seat and it seemed to help. I know I've read where people say that it doesn't help for picking up with the 3 pt hitch but it seemed to help mine. I bought a 5' Landpride brush hog with it and it seems to be pretty good. Also I asked the dealer to fill the tires for more weight I'm not sure if they did or not is there any way of checking? Well thats it for now I'm fixing to go put some more hours on this thing work/fun.

Congratulations on your new tractor; nothing quite like it.

If you try to check your tire pressure with the valve in the 6 o'clock position, you will get some fluid leakage; always check at the 12 o'clock position.

Congrats! Have fun and be safe.

enjoy your new tractor.

They really are a very good tractor. Congrats!

The jerky thing is slightly overblown here. If yours works and you are happy, don't worry about it.

I have a 5' Land Pride and they are a good mower also.

Well got to play around with the tractor a couple hours today. My son and daughter even got in a little lap time lol. Just got to steer it up the driveway and back but they thought it was the greatest thing.

Did some more brush hogging today and some fel work. Im still impressed with how well this tractor has met my expectations. I was afraid I was going to buy either to small or big but I think it worked out about right. It looks like it get about 1 hour to 1 gallon of diesel so far. Now just to talk the wife into letting me get some more implements along the way lol

The L3200 was my first tractor purchase also. I went with a LandPride RC as well. Seems to be a excellent tractor after almost a year of owning.

Congratulations!! They (Orange tractors) are great stress relievers, can bond parents with children and can also do real productive work tasks. I do all of these with mine.

Big congrats on your L3200 nice looking rig. The jerky 3 pt hitches make great paint can shakers . Saves a trip to hardware store to have cans shaken !

I absolutely love my L3200. It has 33 hours on it so far - about 1/2 mowing and 1/2 FEL scraping and moving dirt. It's a very comfortable and agile tractor and one thing that is really nice for me is how easy it is to get the loader on and off. Last evening I mowed at the neighbor lady's place and ours. Things have been more out of place here this year because of a "dirt relocation project". The Ford tractor, dirt scoop, extra RFM, homemade drag and some other stuff had crotch-high grass and weeds hiding them. After mowing the rest of the place I swung into the shed and put the loader on and grabbed a short chain. In about 5 minutes everything was out of the way so the tall growth could be knocked down. Around the other side was the Jeep that - uh - needs some work. Since it doesn't run at the moment I picked the rear end up with the FEL and rolled it back on its front wheels (played "wheelbarrow" with it) about 20' so I could mow there.

And so many prospective new tractor buyers come on and post "I don't think I need a Front End Loader" HA HA.. what good is a tractor without a FEL. Just an overgrown lawn mower or plow machine maybe. The FEL is just about the most useful thing ever invented.

Good looking machine. You will love it for sure. And the others are right, you will find more uses for that FEL than you ever thought of. I know I have.

Absolutely! I gave my wheelbarrow away. It always had a flat when I wanted to use it anyhow. It's easier to put the loader on the Kubota than to dig the wheelbarrow out of the back of the shed. My first FEL was on the B7500 bought new in 2002. Oddly enough, when we were shopping back then, Wifey suggested a loader. Gotta love being married to a gal who grew up on a farm. But there is a flip side - about the time I'm feeling like hot stuff sitting on the L3200 she refers to it as "the garden tractor".
