I already did lower the ROPS! I also removed the FEL and re-installed it to make sure I get the hang of it. I tried out the mower and it worked ok. I'm spoiled because I used to use a zero trun to mow with but the wife wouldn't allow me to purchase the tractor and still keep the zero turn. I really need an all-in-one machine so I'm taking the hit with the Kubota vs. the zero turn. I just want to say Brady Barlow at Barlow Equipment in KY was great to deal with. He was VERY competitive on pricing and attention to detail was impeccable.
purchased today! new B3200, FEL and MMM

Looks great - I bought my B3200 in August and am loving it. Mine is used mainly for logging and grading so far with snow duties to come.
One thing I found was that the pins on the top loader quick connects rattled like crazy in the retainer holes as I got to PTO rpms. 2 grommets in the holes (actually shock absorber bushings with grooves cut in them - found them in the shop) made an incredible difference in noise level :thumbsup:. Should come from the factory with these IMHO.
Enjoy your new machine!

Cross-posted.....looking for info.
OK, so today I went down to the dealer and rode a 2012 model year B2920, B3200, and B330. I had read all the reviews, and heard from the dealer that the vibration issue was fixed.
Holy cow patties Batman! That 3200 shook like , well, I'll refrain from any derogatory analogies. Suffice to say - I understand the comments people make about it making their hands and butts going numb.
Well, the B2920 and B3300 had loader attached - but the B3200 did not.
Does the loader frame mounted on the model change the harmonics and dampening frequencies enough to combat the vibration?
The dealer said adding attachments does smooth it out. Has anyone experienced this to confirm it?
I thought I had it all figured it out for the B3200, but I think this experience bumped me down to the B2920 (bummer).
Thanks for any feedback!
