    Mine is the L3800. Same chassis as the L3200 or the latest L3302 / L3902 series, plus the other generations in between. I got mine without any options. Now I regret that part. But, back then I had no use for anything but a bucket and a back blade. Mine was $19,700 otd in 2011 plus they had 0.9 % financing. I have no plans of getting rid of it until I can't drag my crip arse aboard it. :rofl: :lol:

    In 2014 you could still buy an L3800 or L3901 at the same time. The 3901 was the same tractor but with the tier 4 emissions stuff. It was $5000 more. This comparison was on the Kubota site. Nice upcharge for stuff we consumers don't want to pay for.
    That said, they seem to have the bugs worked out of the non Def fluid systems in the kubotas. Hopefully its as trouble free as mine.

    You need to put that tractor to work...:tractor:
    Our '06 has 2500 hrs on it...
    We had to add 3rd function kit and QA plate. Took several years to save up the pennies, but eventually got'ter done.
    It sure was a game changer.

    I figured while I was in "Finance mode" I'd just add it on now and be done with it. That (pay me now or pay me later) :emptywallet: saying went around my head, so I added the options and it's done.

    It's kind of like an (after burner) system. It traps excess unburn't exhaust and when the re-gen light comes on, you simply o_O:rofl: :lol: push the clean mode button and bring the engine RPMs up to 2000 RPM for a minute or so until the light goes out. "Supposedly" it burns out the (Unburn't) fuel. o_O I haven't completely read the manual on it yet, as a matter of fact I just skimmed the surface but that's what the Tech/mechanic who did my walk around said.
