I just signed the paperwork on a new l3700su loader r4 tires cruise and 1 rear remote 0% for 72 best price I coud get was 21682 including 1103 insurance 214 filing fees and 1465 taxes in north eastern nc/va. It will be delivered next week. Happy with the deal but its not the 17500 that everyone else on this site seemed to get this was the best price from 4 dealers 0% for 60 would have been 600 less. now my old l2250 will be up for sale any thoughts on price lots of body rust 2 wheel drive hours unknown shuttle shift runs great Randy

Don't worry about prices that people quote they paid for tractors on this site. Sometimes Greenspan's "irrational exuberance" syndrome sets in.
It is a great tractor, it can really do a lot of work for the price. Probably the best price/performance on the market when you combine Kubota's traditional high quality.
For your information, our tractor has been replaced by something called the L3800. Not much different from what I can tell, but it has a one piece hood. You will be happy with the three piece hood when you dent one of the side panels, as happens often.

The 3700 is a strong machine.
I have 22 hours on mine in the first month, primarily rebuilding the road. 65" Woods BB and a Lienbach grader blade have done the trick. I've pulled a half full BB uphill with the two of four rippers down in the ditch line and did not want for power or traction.
Go over your new machine with a fine tooth comb. Stuff slips by Kubota and the Dealers. I discovered a missing cotter pin on a tie rod nut which allowed the nut to drop two hours in, and almost disconnected the tie rod.
No leaks or other bothers on my tractor. The 3PT could I guess be smoother but I don't find it to be a real issue. Like others have said, lift up and feather down. Adjusting the lift rate with the valve under the seat is of great help here.

Congratulations on the tractor. The 3700 is a nice little CUT, I have enjoyed working with mine.
If you don't mind me asking, how much did the rear remote add to the price? That's the one thing I do wish I had looked into when I bought mine. But I was in a hurry to get it because I had a specific task that I needed it for and time was short.

Yes the 3PH does jerk and chatter in use. I've been doing a lot of boxblade work recently with 3700. My JD is much better for using the boxblade but it's too big for the area I'm working in.
I don't notice the jerking when I'm using the bushhog and it doesn't affect the boxblade work, I just notice it more.

Congratulations on your new tractor. I have been hearing that the L3700 is being replaced by the L3800. Well they are both on the Kubota web site. And if you look at the specifications they show the L3700SUHST tops the L3800HST in several area's. Even with the new loader & backhoe. Just wanted to tell you I think you got one nice tractor.

Congrats on your new tractor! As to your L2250, I just traded one in on my new L4240. Dealer gave me $5k trade. It had 1085 hrs, Great Bend FEL, 4wd with shuttle trans, rear remote, good front tires and poor rear tires (R1s). New hyd pump and power steering box and a ratty 42" BB. I think in a good economy that package could have fetched about $7k on the open market, but I could be smoking crack. Cosmetically it was not too hot, front sheet metal was pretty bent and one head light cracked. HTH.
