Which tractor is top of the "B" series line... B3200 or B3030

[Fritzy]

I have never compared with other tractors, I wanted a cab and the 3030 is the only one that I know of that has one. It sure is nice blowing snow in your T shirt and cutting grass with the air on, the radio is nice too.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?
From those owning B3030's....do you notice any difference in yours and the new 3200 line?
What are the differences between the two tractors?
Currently i have a new B3200 TLB which is two months old, and I do really like this tractor. Now I have driven a B3030 that my neighbor has and it is a very nice driven tractor.I also have had two of the BX Tractors in TLB and they were both real nice machines. Just remember the B3030 and some of the other models have 3 cylinders, the B3200 has a four cylinder which I consider much smoother and more powerful the the 3's.The B3200 of course is Kubota's new model Tractor and I believe At least for me it has power, lifting capacity and a strong 4 cylinder diesel engine that is probably over powered for the tractor, you'll break traction before your limit your task. You'll be glad that you went with the B3200, I know I did and although I'm not an expert I have had a few Kubota's. Good luck with yours.

The B3030 has a four cylinder engine. I believe the B2630 has the three cylinder.

That is correct.

I'm assuming the frame, tires, etc. is all the same "size wise" between the two tractors. That being the case, it sounds like the B3030 is similar to the Grand "L" with tilt wheel, telescoping(sp) 3ph arms, built-in rachet adjustment for 3ph, better seat maybe....and better steering configuration? Did I miss anything? I thought I read somewhere that the draft control was better on the 3030.....anyone else know if that is so?

No draft control - position control on the 3030 3pt hitch.
The independent pto, the position control, and the deluxe 3pt hitch linkage were the biggest sellers for me, but I really enjoy the other added "deluxe" features.

Also, the B3030 has a slight advantage in FEL lift capacity, and nearly 400 lbs advantage in 3pt lift capacity over the B3200.

The B3030 is a 4 cylinder, and mine is nice and smooth. The B3200 is pretty much the same engine - the increase in hp comes from running the engine at a higher rpm range to get that max power rating.

Oh, one other thing - I like the double plate setup on the B3030 FEL mount bracket compared with the single plate brackets on the B3200. Probably not a big deal, but I personally like the extra steel, especially with the rocky ground I work in.

I'm sure you'll be happy with either model. I personally, am glad I paid the extra for the deluxe features, and am very happy with my 3030. I also ordered mine with the fender mount joystick from the cab model.

The B3030 has a 4 cylinder 91.5 cubic inch engine. NOT A 3 CYLINDER. Basically the same engine as the B2910, B7800 and B3200. Extra HP on B3200 is archived by increasing RPM's.
Confusion may be coming from the B2630 which has a 3 cylinder engine. <br>After owning a Kubota with a 3PH that did not have the telescopic lower links and adjustable stabilizers that my B2910 and the B3030 have. They along with ratcheting lifting rod make it much easier to attach an attachment. Using the chain and turnbuckle stabilizers is a PITA to me.
The B3030 has Position Control not Draft Control. It allows you to set a height position for the 3PH. Then raise 3PH to clear the ground (end of a row) then lower the 3PH to same position that it was before raising 3PH. Draft control is a additional control that adjust 3PH to keep ground engaging attachments at the same depth regardless of tractor postilion.
FEL specs are a little higher on the B3030, except the B3200 shows 1000 lbs more breakout force. Must be a print error.
Backhoe shows same specs.

If the B-26 was added to the mix would it be the top of the B series line, or is that compairing apples to oranges?

 

[bandit67]

Kind of apples to oranges, as the B26 is a commercial unit, with different features and uses.

It is stronger, heavier, and better suited to daily commercial abuse than any of the other B series machines. I would own one of them if it had a 30hp engine - I needed the extra hp at my altitude. You can't remove the FEL, and I don't think it has the mid PTO option, and certainly doesn't have a mid mount mower available.

I wonder if a replacement for the B3030 is in the works?
