@@ohiofarmer254 sounds about right

[@troyr57]

BX2380 220 hours; B3200 TLB 420 hours; KX 033-4 51 hours.

[@troyr57]

I guess I should have added that I hopefully will be able to add a new L3902 to the fleet this week, dealer has them and I just have to make up my mind, if the time to get it is right.

[@SimpleTek]

@@troyr57 curious, how much are they now?

I’ve always had old tractors for the last 20 years….constantly working on them more than using them…as I get older I’m tired of that so 6 years ago I went and looked at new tractors about an hour from me. They had a variety of brands like New Holland , Massey Ferguson, Case and a few other off brands that were used…I sort of felt like it didn’t matter if I bought a tractor or not.. Ask the salesmen a few questions and he was short with me and preoccupied! Little did they know I was a serious buyer and had about half the money down to buy a new tractor! So on my quest for a tractor search on the net I found a kubota dealer 15 minutes from me…I never knew! Went there the next week just to look and was treated very respectfully and all my questions were answered promptly. I wasn’t quite sure what I wanted so I bought a 2501 standard trans but really wanted the 3901 but couldn’t justify the extra expense! Ran the 2501 for 6 years with no issues… I ended up using it way more than my old tractors but soon found out I could have used more power and the hydrostat opt. Some recently I traded in the 2501 on a 3902 …sort of glad I waited because of the minor improvements over the 3901. Couldn’t be happier with my purchase! I’m sure other tractors are just as good but I also consider my dealer support a big factor with a purchase! Nice review tho!

That's awesome, I hope you enjoy your new tractor!!!! I love mine

[@johnstaub359]

Great video of your machine and your uses.

[@SimpleTek]

Thanks 👍

[@martinwilliams9453]

Sweet thanks for your time.

[@SimpleTek]

Thank you for the kind words

[@tzenophile]

So is it hydrostatic or gears? I want one!

[@SimpleTek]

mine is hydrostatic.

[@acvfdfireman]

I really like Kubota. I've had 2 in the past and I honestly like you feel that they are a better bargain then Deere.nothing impressed me about the Deere compacts.

[@SimpleTek]

7 years now and I’m very impressed with this machine

[@hoki4381]

I have not followed up on this over the years: John Deere seems pretty aggressive about preventing independent repairs. Is Kubota better then JD in this respect? www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2020-03-05/farmers-fight-john-deere-over-who-gets-to-fix-an-800-000-tractor

[@SimpleTek]

good point, I think it applies mostly to the larger not smaller tractors. I've been able to do a lot on my own to my tractor

[@Isenseven1080]

Lol bro...

[@SimpleTek]

?

[@Isenseven1080]

Looks terrible. I'd rather have renewable plastic than faded painted metal... and I'm a bota fan!

[@SimpleTek]

Must be horrible to go through life never having heard of new paint

[@Isenseven1080]

Restoring plastic vs repainting an entire metal tractor. Cost difference is significant. It's not a bragging point for kubota. Not to mention dents.

[@SimpleTek]

@@Isenseven1080 I know it’s mean $30 for a can of spray paint must be life altering to you

[@Isenseven1080]

@@SimpleTek spray paint is a joke. It'd look better faded than rattle can paint job.

[@SimpleTek]

@@Isenseven1080 obviously you’ve never used spray paint to touch up an old piece of machinery.
