Why LOADED Turf Tires?

I had R4 Industrial Tires and they never marked my lawn so long as the tractor had 2-WD engaged, rather than 4-WD.

loaded for weight, right? and then turf, as I have lots of lawn that I will be working around and over and felt that turf would be the best fit?

maybe not?

You can get Kubota OEM pin stabilizers for $150-175 depending on the tractor (mine were $170 for an L3200).

As for tires, we can debate all over the place. My personal opinion, which only matters for about a 12-16" radius around my body, is that turfs would be best if mowing a lawn was a priority, or if snow removal was a priority. If loader work is a priority on any surface (including lawn) I'd pick the R4 tires, or for general utility work on any surface, I'd pick the R4s. If using ground engaging implements, R4.

I have had both turf and R4 tires, and both will tear up a soft muddy lawn in 4WD or 2WD. Both will be easy on the lawn in 2WD for "straight line" work, like driving across the lawn to move firewood, etc. Where turfs matter on a lawn is if you're constantly doing laps with turns, etc, like in mowing. There, the turfs will definitely be easier on the lawn.

I wouldn't automatically get turfs just because there is a lawn on the property, only if mowing that lawn was one of the priorities. I drive across my lawn on R4s all the time without any damage. If I start doing excessive work that requires a lot of turns or going into soft areas, then it will start to be an issue. The turf tires on my other tractor are definitely easier on the grass in those circumstances, but even they will leave ruts in soft areas and tear up the turf if I make a lot of turns.

good thoughts... AS you an see the 3350 is being built with turfs, maybe a mistake, I guess i'll find out.

Great looking tractor - you're back is going to thank you.
Is that a moose bar on the front?

that steel piece mounted on the front is some rig they use in the shop with the shop crane to lift the tractor out of its crate when they are setting it up... but yes, i might keep moose off a little...

I owned a B3300SU. Fine tractor-loader.

I would replace the factory NON-RIGID turnbuckle stabilizers on the Three Point Hitch with a set of pinned and adjustable RIGID stabilizers from Mark Hodge at Stabilworks early on.

<$200 Excellent workmanship.

I have optional $500 Position Control on my current L3560. However, darned if I did not find the Quarter Inching Valve (QIV) on the B3300SU more useful. Be sure to learn how to set up/adjust the QIV. It is so simple it can be confusing.

If you are going to use a Rotary Cutter/Bush Hog you will want a set of $30 Limit Chains.

After unloading from delivery truck, I just drove it around the yard in the pouring rain and then squeezed it into the garage, it just made it under the door. It may stop raining here soon, and so hope to get on it this weekend, figure out how it works...
