Thinking of trading for a L3901

Make sure you get the loader with the SSQA. It's so useful to swap implements... bucket, forks, plow, whatever.

Yep, and then either weld on some bucket hooks, or buy the bolt on ones. Trust me on this, I had to learn the hard way. I wanted a SSQA so bad after buying the L3400hst without it, that I retrofitted it. Not a good plan from an economic standpoint. Best get it up front if you can.

Everything mentioned. I always add rear remotes, got three on my last as I got TnT, the greatest basic thing I ever did was add a hydraulic top link to all our tractors that have rear remotes, my brother even has one on his early 60s Ford 600. I second bucket hooks, I bought the ones I wanted, showed where I wanted them and the dealer welded them on. Extendable lower links and cruise control.

Agree with hooks and lights. Here are my add ons after I purchased the tractor. I did the work but you may want to have someone do this. It is a lot to drill through the bucket metal. They may not add hooks because your booklet will talk about the danger of doing so.

I stopped by the dealership today and he'll get me a quote on Monday. I had already asked for the SSQA bucket but had forgotten about bucket hooks.

When I bought the Massey I kicked myself that I didn't get rear remotes but I don't have anything that would use them. Am I being foolish to not get them now? Also, I rarely work in the dark so I don't think I'd use the work lights. Getting things added at purchase time makes sense but I want to make sure I'm adding stuff I'll eventually use.

I asked him to include 1.5" spacers for the rear wheels. That seemed to be the consensus here for added stability.

You have a use for a fiberglass canopy? My dealer gave me one at half price and welded 3 bucket hooks on

+1 on the canopy. I really like mine. Really handy if you have to work out in the sun.

In my opinion, yes, as mentioned a minimum of a hydraulic top-link; makes using a box scraper much easier to use and I use mine a lot even with my rotary cutter, also makes changing implements easier-quicker.

Bucket hooks are way nice, but cheap & easy to install yourself.

I bought & engineered my own 3 spool hydraulic setup with Brian from Fit Rite. Not to hard for somebody that is reasonably handy. Kubota makes their own kit, which is even easier I expect.

I love my TnT setup. I probably appreciate it more after not having it a bit when I first got my first tractor.

Same here, there are old posts on here by me in which I said, I had no real need for TnT, oops now I have it, I wish it was on our other tractors. I have a LP HR3584, s video and love it. Kubota Top-n-Tilt Kit with Land Pride HR2572 Box Scraper - YouTube
