Pulled the trigger (finally) kubota L3901

[Emptypocketfarms]

After a ton of searches and questions (thanks again to all), I have finally pulled the trigger on a new-to-me Kubota L3901, 2015, 200 hrs, quick attach FEL and bucket. Here’s definitely one thing I’ve learned- if you’re in the market for a 30-40 hp tractor in central KY, and you find one, you better JUMP, because they’re disappearing fast around here. I thought i had 2 other ones purchased and they were gone b4 I could get there.

anyways, to the good stuff. I am having the dealer add cruise control (it didnt have it) quick attach lift arms, fluid fill the rears, and add 3” wheel spacers. I also made sure that I watched the regen process just for my own satisfaction.
i added a 5’ tiller, 5’ bush hog, and 5’ box blade (all brand new)to the deal. Walked out just north of 24k.
I really want you guys to tell me i did ok, but i can take the criticism if i didn't. Lol
Also, if there’s something I’m missing… any recommendations? Let me know what you guys think. Im excited to get it….

I think the price you paid for that whole package is awesome, and you will enjoy that tractor.

Congratulations. Is it the 2WD or 4x4 MFWD 4WD?

That's a great deal with those implements. In my neck of the woods that year and model is fetching $22-26 sans implements. Having owned 2 Kiotis and 2 Kubotas, I prefer Kubota for a few reasons, but mostly the increased speed of the loader and the quicker response of the Hydrostat over the Kioti.

These days it sounds like a great deal these days, congratulations.

Congratulations, I own an l3901 and love it. I would suggest adding a bucket level indicator because for me it’s hard to see the if the bucket is flat . That’s a cheap and easy add on. I bought the official kubota kit for around the same money as the aftermarket kits. Run it hot and use it hard and regen will be few and far between. I have only had 2 in 150 hours but I make it work hard. Idling is bad for a tier 4 diesel don’t do it start it up give it a minute and bump it up to at least 1500 rpm the one headlights suck motorcycle bulb p15d is an led replacement found on Amazon for less than 10 bucks when I ordered it they are much brighter

Maybe have a third function added if you will ever need a grapple.

Considering just the tractor new at a dealer cost more than that now, that seems like a pretty good deal for all the extra attachments and only 200hrs. Congrats on the new machine

Then do it I was quoted almost 200 I paid around 40 online

Just for the tractor with 200 hrs that would be a good deal, add the extras and its even better...

Though you don't mention it, I know who your dealer is in Middlefield, Ohio and I wasn't impressed with them when I visited there last summer and I suspect that 200 was with installation at their high shop rate as well, even though you can install it quite easily. Whole gods price is actually 39 and change, I checked yesterday. Not something I require as both my loaders came with as no option.

I'd say they either don't like you or don't like your window shopping, or both.

I have one and it seems good(amateur tractor enthusiast here) it is louder than my L3301 was. Do you guys find your L3901 loud?

 

[Emptypocketfarms]

I considered it, as i will be doing some clearing, but figured i can add later if needed. I may contact the dealer about it, does anyone know an approximate cost?

 

[bdhsfz6]

FWIW, the dealer charged me $1200 labor & material to install a W&R Long 3rd function valve last February.

I was quoted $1400 recently. Not sure of the brand.
