Strengths very stong tractor in a very small package. has the power to do anything i have thrown at it.

Weaknesses NO TOOLBOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Overall worth every penny. I had done my resaerch on the compact tractors around 35 horse power and this was the best tractor for the money.

Strengths HST is outstanding. I was unsure about getting an HST but 2 hours on the tractor made a believer out of me. Great power and still compact enough to work close the house.

Weaknesses I had backlight installed and there is no tool box. Dealer said that there will be an option very shortly to install a tool box. The slowest speed of the HST is still pretty fast, for some work that I do.

Overall Great tractor love the size to power ratio.

Strengths Tractor has good power throughout its rpm range, 3 point hitch lift capacity is good. Manual shift with ag tires is great for traction in the woods with 18 inches of snow. I have pulled some rediculous loads of logs out of the woods with this tractor and it did really well. Best of all uses very little fuel. Traded a 1 year old B7800 for this tractor because I was killing it in the woods pulling logs, hst has no buisness pulling heavy loads or being steered with the brakes because the front end is off the ground pulling logs. Also starts great in cold weather.

Weaknesses Haven't found any weaknesses yet.

Overall Great tractor for the money, If you need all the power the tractor can give get get the gear drive and ag tires.

Strengths Good financing, easy driving,user friendly

Weaknesses 3 Point hitch - nothing fits without ioncredible amount of hassle and always requires 2 persons. jerky hydraulics, dealer wants $400 to upgrade despite supposed recall, No tool box (duh)

Overall I would buy another Kubota only if they improve the 3 point systems - my neighbours have Ford and JD - and believe me, we all have a struggle with the Kubota (all ancillary equipment purchased (to guarantee compatability) from Kubota

Strengths It is amazing what this little tractor will do. I got the manual transmission model with 8 forward and 4 reverse gears. The 34.7 hp 3 cylinder diesel is a perfect match for the tractor.

Weaknesses There are four things that could be improved. First there is no tool box. This seems like an oversight. Second, you have to come to a complete stop to shift it. I did not want the hydrostatic transmission as it wastes too much power, but a true shuttle shift would be nice. Kubota calls this a shuttle shift, but it is not as you have to stop to shift it. A true shuttle shift would add to the price though and the price was very reasonable, especially with the 0% down and 0% interest for 3 years. Third, the fuel filter is a flimsy plastic unit that is exposed to branches etc. I knocked it loose twice, so that it leaked, in the first 40 hours. I made a guard for it. Pictures at http://www.speednetllc.com/kensworld/ProductReviews.htm. Forth, the front guard is narrower than the tractor, especially at the bottom. I pushed a stick through the lower front of the tractor. It is a soft plastic that is not as strong as it should be. I welded a heavy pipe 26" long to the bottom of the front guard to help protect the front of the tractor. The 34.7 hp 3 cylinder diesel is a perfect match for the tractor. I usual keep it in 3 rd gear and use the hi lo reverse shifter by the left fender. It is quite handy. It has enough power to use a higher gear and use the throttle to very its speed. In 3rd gear, low range, I can put the tractor at high idle in 4 wheel drive and it will not stall out, it just spins. This is very handy for digging out stumps or getting a bucket of dirt out of a pile. As you can see there is really no need for a hydrostatic transmission when you can do this. I would recommend this tractor to anyone. My brother had a 24 hp B series tractor and he had to keep the motor wide open and very the speed with the hydrostatic transmission. It was very noise keeping it revving all the time. He traded it in for a new B3030 with 30 hp. He likes it much better. I did look and Kyoty and Branson tractors. They had a true shuttle tra

I would recommend this tractor to anyone. I did look and Kyoty and Branson tractors. They had a true shuttle transmission, but were heaver and only had 30 and 29 hp. Since I plan on tailoring this tractor to Missouri, I wanted the lightest tractor with the most horse power. You can always add weight. Plus you can't go wrong with the Kubota name. I know I made the right decision.

Strengths Have yet to find something it can not due. If you looking pay a little extra and get the 4wheel drive!!! Can not tell you how many times i would have been stuck without it. Use it to mow, move the dirt around, cut a walking path with the bod blade and never been unhappy with it.

Weaknesses Gets stuck easy even on flat ground. $ wheel drive is a must and am so glad i got it.

Overall Great little tractor. If you on the bubble between this model and anyother brand you would be happy you chose the Kabota L3400.

Strengths I was really up in the air between the 3400 and the 3240 even losing sleep over it. I decided on the 3400 for both price and size difference.(I own mostly woods 12 acres and 8 acres of field) I was really worried that it would be too light for pulling logs and FEL work. This tractor is a work horse, I have done some amazing things with this tractor and I haven't found anything yet that it cant do. and I don't miss any of the features that the 3240 offered, except maybe the quick attach loader. I pulled a 30in by 25ft log up a steep hill with no problems. Very glad I went HST its very precise, powerful, and makes it easy for you to focus on the task at hand.

Weaknesses No tool box is a pain, but no reason to not buy a great tractor. My dealer said I can buy Kubota paint from him so I think I will buy a toolbox, paint it and attach it behind the seat. BH75 is cramped to use for me (6ft 175)and make sure to get a big and small bucket for it, digging a big hole takes a long time with small bucket.

Overall Over all if I could go through the hours of reading reviews and shopping around I would make the exact same purchase again. My L3400 knows how to get any job done. and is the perfect size for using in the woods or around the house, the price is unbeatable from where I am from. I wouldn't want a bigger tractor unless, I was surrounded by fields and money wasn't an option. The backhoe is nice, but for the extra 7200, I might look around for a used one, or even a small used excavator can probably find one around 10000 and I think if you plan on using it a lot you might be happier with a whole seprate unit. If you do think you want the BH75 just make sure to ask the dealer if you can try one first, or even just sit on one so you know what you are getting before you drop the extra money. Don't get me wrong its a good backhoe, just really cramped when using it. If you are considering this vs a Grand L I know they look nicer at the dealership, but trust me the bells and whistles are not missed once you get it home, and it doesn't look like a small tractor when its not parked next to a Grand L. I don't want to sway anyone from buying the tractor that is right for them, I researched the heck out of both tractors and am extremely happy with L3400 no regrets, and with the money I saved I am going to buy a brush-hog, pallet forks and a back blade. PS the dealer welded a couple of chain hooks on my bucket for no charge, glad he did I use them all the time.

Strengths Tractor is very strong and loader will pick up anything the tractor's weight can handle. it sips gas i can genaral get a bout 12 to 14 hrs on six gallons of diesal. It does great pulling the disk and cultivator. So strong it has broken two older cultivators befor i converted an old six row into one row. I pulled a 50 ft lighter tree i cut down out of a bog and up a hill, it took several tries but it came out and up the hill. Also all its maintenace is easily done with the help of the manual. i now have approx 250 hrs on my 75 acres and have done all the scheduled maintinance with no problems.

Weaknesses There is an issue with storage compartments there arent any except for the cup holder. i do wish the tractor didnt have the dry transmision case. it can make some gringing noises when shifting. this can be avoided by not shifting while moving and shifting the 1-4 shifter in to neutral while moving from N to f l or r. this only occurs after the tractor has been sitting at idle in neutral.

Overall Ive operated many other tractors but this one is my fav its strong sips gas and is easy to maintain.

Strengths Tons of power for it's weight. Engine will not bog down under load. Small package, big power. Sips fuel. Loader seems very sturdy. Extremely satisfied with it.

Weaknesses The gear ratios between forward and reverse!!! I mow in high range 2nd gear. When you put it in reverse you either have to shift to fourth or go at a super turtle pace in reverse while staying in second. And low range is really low.

Overall Great tractor for the money, will last me a long long time. I have 10 acres and it is the perfect blend of size and power. Highly recommend.

Strengths so far so good it only has 20 hrs on it, had to make my own front bumper/weight I think factory one is a bit crappy

Weaknesses I would say TOOL BOX I cant belive I did not see that before I bought it (I would of still bought it)

Overall
