i bought the 2014 tractor in 16, $31k, with, front snow blower, 72” landpride finish mower, 72” landpride back blade, on trade they gave me $25k tractor and snowblower. but i paid full price for the lx3310 and new 4 point front snowblower, diff of $16k.
I think it speaks volumes about the Messick company and philosophy that Neil speaks so honestly and frankly about his previous experience with the existing tractor. I doubt you would find many other dealers who would be so honest about the brand they sell. If anybody ever had doubts about doing business with this company, this should solve that for you!👍
Neil you remind me of the owner of a car dealership I worked for. He would let his staff choose a vehicle each year to drive, the only condition was that if a customer came in and liked it, it was sold and they got a replacement. Good luck with your new tractor.
I think its B8785 for the LX3310. That's what it says on the Kubota build my tractor site. Messick's website that says that's for the b series though. www.messicks.com/ku/84633 So I'm not quite sure. I hope that helps.
Neil... Just for Yucks, I have a 2017 B3650 with maybe 51 easy hours on and garage kept and clean and pretty as when it was delivered! What would be a rough $ figure in upgrading to the LX Series with those less aggressive tires? Please advise and Thanks Much, Mike...( i just made Kubota Credit Payment #43 of 72 at 247.21 per month)
Have had my lx2610 cab for 4 months love it tho I wish it had a better sound system. I changed out the speakers but it’s just missing that little bit of bass. Also when you get it make sure to check the fluid they like to leave it a gallon to low
I received my first tractor last week - a LX 3310 HSDC. Your videos were very helpful in my buying decisions. Thank you. I’d love to see some new videos of you using your 3310, upgrades, issues to watch for, etc. Thanks again for your qualify videos.
Hey Neil, I purchased the LX 2610 Cab (Baby brother to your new 3310) I corresponded with you and you really helped me decide on going orange rather than staying green. I do love this tractor although the pedal orientation took some getting used to. And you are going to love the seat. Welcome to team LX.
Also a new Kubota LX3310 owner for a week now. Love the tractor but my hood latch squeaks. Can't wait to see you do some demos with your tractor to see if it makes the same noise.
the latch on my new LX3310 absolutely drove me crazy for weeks, horrible rattling/squeaking sound heard way over the engine. Tap on the hood, it would stop (for 20 seconds LOL). I probably spent 6 hours trying different things in order to fix it, then finally put a cable tie around the assembly under the hood and pulled it tight to reduce slop in the latch. Knock on wood, it has been noise-free ever sense. good luck.....
How much is the seat on the LX series as an off the shelf upgrade? I noticed the Quicke loader in the M8 has the nice grease caps on the loader pins, can those be fitted and useful on any of the LA loaders?
You got to believe that the B3350 was a real turkey when even a Kubota salesman admits that it was "problematic." I remember one guy in the forums had one and he was told that his engine problems were related to snow going in through the air intake.
I am just curious why you decided on the LX3310 rather than the Grand L 3560? They both are in Kubota deluxe tractor world and the hydraulics and weight is better on that smaller Grand L model. If I go the Kubota route for a compact tractor, I have it narrowed down to basically those two models.
But when I read the specifications on the smallest of the Grand L , the 3560 , it appears that it is not as wide as the other larger engine sizes in the Grand L series. I thought the 3560 is around 60 in in width whereas the LX series is approximately 54 inches in width. Did I misread the specification on these two models or by being too big are you talking about the weight? Also I liked the way the treadle pedal is designed on the Grand L versus the more traditional Kubota treadle pedal on the kubota's that I've seen. I was just wondering if the LX was using that type of design that I've seen on the new Grand L.
I really love your presentations and wish your Dealership Network would expand to Central New York where the Family spread is located. There is a Kubota Dealership up that way but not to be overtly hateful "they suck." Looking forward to expanding the spread big time going into 2021 beyond the current 70 acres which is tiny obviously "spread standards" but I can see a couple thousand acres in the future given how bankrupted the entire Region has been forced into "thanks" to the disaster of the politics about Covid-19 which looks set to bankrupt the entire Central New York Region and imminently. Sad situation but is what it is.
Get the buffer spinning on that faded hood. Why can't Kubota put orange paint on that stays shinny? I keep the Rain Dance on my orange, but after 5 years my B2620 is starting to show some fading. I park it in a garage all the time when I'm not in the seat. Any ideas would be helpful....maybe even a video. Thanks from Esko, Minnesota. Russ
The emission controls and the added complexity of electronics is a big negative for me. I would have gone bigger than the LX2610 but wanted to keep it to a mulch simpler diesel engine to reduce future problems and cost.
Really want to see some more Comparison videos with the R14 tires. Dirt and Mud traction. I feel like it would better than R4s in dirt but maybe not mud?
I am one of those who own a B3350. I READ the directions, I FOLLOWED the directions, and advice from other satisfied owners and after about 4 years I love my B3350. If you are willing to follow the protocol faithfully you are going to be able to pick up one of these tractor at a very very reasonable price. They have a bad reputation, maybe or maybe not deserved. I purchased my used one year old. The previous owner was a company that had different employees use it and the complaint was that it was always shutting down. I did my research and that included listening to Neil give a tutorial on how to operate it and have been very pleased both work wise and economically wise.
I remember a F&I guy at a car dealership discuss how he bought a Ram 1500 truck just to get the dealership's "last unit" volume SPIF for a particular month... Hope the B3350 helped your family the same way!
Hello Neil, I’m up grading from a BX2680 to an LX2610 maybe a 3310 not sure yet, I have been in contact with one of your salesman, do you have a video on how the mower deck gets installed, “ the correct way “ I came across a video and it took the guy over 12 min!! Thanks
I bought an after market seat for my L2501. Shame on Kubota for going cheap on the factory seat. And really, no arm rests? Would it increase the cost that much? And as Neil pointed out, a comfortable seat is important.
The L 01 series is the budget lineup, so a cheap seat is to be expected. Shame on you for not doing your model research and realizing what you were buying. I mean, with a L2501 you chose the cheapest model for it’s larger size, with the cheapest engine option and the cheapest/ lowest trim package. Now you want the air ride seat with armrests? Lol what seat would come in the nice models then? If you want the nice features then maybe don’t buy the cheapest model. Seems obvious, but here you are with a L2501 crying about a cheap seat.
@@lawrencebessette754 the L2501 that I rented seemed like a beefy frame workhorse to me, with R-1 tires it pushed in dirt great and it lifted more than I needed it to that’s for sure. However, It was slightly underpowered for the 72 inch tiller they sent with it. The seat seemed fine as long as I didn’t lean to far. ( you L guys know what I’m talking about) besides wanting a little more power, the pto engagement lever and the clutch were really annoying compared to that on the b3350 I had rented previously to the L. The emissions stuff was beeping and stinking while I had the B3350 n that did suck. The seat comfort never crossed my mind on either so it couldn’t of been that bad.
@@jaxturner7288 just one thing Jax rental companies turn them down a bit and have a way to booger up the seat censor to help people keep from rolling them over but you are spot on
@@lawrencebessette754 that’s a great point! I definitely should of mentioned that and I wish more people would know that usually is the case when renting equipment. However, in my case I was shopping for some new equipment and I thought a compact tractor would do it so with all three of the different models I used they were new models prepped for regular sale. Each had hours in the teens and twenties and they were used as demo units for potential buyers like me so they were checked to make sure they would preform to their full potential. They weren’t the turned down units from the standard rental fleet. I even double checked when the L was picked up because of the problem running the larger tiller. People definitely need to know tho... Standard rental equipment is regularly turned down in power and or pressures, leaving some people justly disappointed because the equipment won’t preform as the specs imply. It should be false advertising. Not the case for me tho, 25 hp just isn’t enough for a tiller that size in our dirt and the 33 hp was troublesome in just the two days I had it.
2014 B3350,HDSC, 715 hrs, up until the last 3 months ive loved this machine, but now its getting to be a pain in the ass, the last 3 regens in 8 hours hsve been problematic, taking mutiple attempts to complete a regen, ive had 2 regens in the last 2/hours, including enough white smoke to make cheech and chong run for the woods, from what ive read lately its at least $3000 to $4000 repair, im done with it, im not putting good money towards a halfass science project, im pricing the lx3350, hopefully the dealer wont rob me to bad.
LX can run a mid PTO, and is available with a cab. If you want to snow blow or run a mid mount mower, you need an LX. If you don't need a cab or a mid PTO, the L2501 is just more machine for the money. It lifts more, it pulls more, it has a larger capacity engine and more torque. It's a great buy for anyone doing more farm tasks. For more landscaping tasks the LX may be better.
Could you comment on why one would select the 3310 over the 2610? Are there implements that can’t be run with the smaller engine that are OK with the few extra horsepower provided by the 3310? Examples? Other benefits? Thanks!
Someone please tell me Why would you trade tractor because off a SEAT please I need to know I am 61 and growing up with tractor I never had it so good as my L2501
Dude congrats on your new machine! I'm looking at buying in the Spring. I haven't decided on what size yet. I will be brush hogging trails and working my 7 acres of woods as well as finish mowing my one acre yard so I'm torn between a higher hp rear pto like the 3310 or something like the 2601.
Are your trails wide - is there a big difference for you between a 4 foot and a 5 foot brush hog? If a 5 foot would do it in a single pass, and a 4 foot would need two passes, then you need an LX. If they're both two passes (trails wider than 5 foot), or both single pass (4 foot trail is fine) then either will do the job the same. Finish mowing - also same same.
@@paullambert2668 I use a MX 8 brush hog right now so I'll probably keep them 8 '. The grass and field can get thick so I was thinking the more pto hp I had would probably work the best.
@@ranger6x660 I think an 8" brush hog would be too big for a B2601 (not sure it'd even lift it, let alone enough horsepower to run it), and probably too big for an LX3310. I think the rule is that a brush hog should be narrower than a finish mower (more power to spin), and the LX takes a 72" finish mower.
@@ranger6x660 Not if you're trying to drive a 5 or 6 foot brush hog. I believe it'll be marginal to lift a brush hog that large, and it's not enough HP to run it well.
Love the looks of the LX but for my storage space and the things I do with it my little BX, it does great. Yeah it might take me longer but we have what we need.
Yo Neil! I just picked up a pair of Kubota wheel spacers for my B7800. The kit part number I believe was B8785. I think these kits are far superior to any aftermarket spacers out there in the marketplace. Good luck with the new tractor.
Messick's Equipment if that’snthe case it actually look pretty good for staying outside for 7 years. make sense now. Actually I should’ve asked how old. Never mind. Thanks for the confirmation.
Neil. Have a question about mowing with the 72 MMM. How high can you mow? With my BX2660 I can set the mower on high and mow at 6". Useful for rough ground and pastures. Can you do the same with the LX3310? I understand that with pins the deck can be set not to drop with the 3 point hitch. Could you also run the midmount pto and hence the MMM without binding up the pto? My local dealer does not know. Thanks. Great videos keep up the good work.
Nice machine does have or can it come with suspension seat? I have b 2601 and bad back seat upgrade would be nice! Thanks for all great video and education! Have great Xmas!
@@MessicksEquip I just bought an LX3310 with several attachments and a backhoe. My local dealer , Barnes Equipment in NC , is getting it ready for delivery. Can't wait !
What horsepower Kubota is needed to run a small square bailer and haybine? I grossly under bought a B2601 for a 20 acre farm. But I'd like to keep all my attachments and maybe even loader if I can to save money.
If you want a bigger machine, you'll also want bigger attachments. Bite the bullet and replace them all. There's no larger machine that takes that loader, you're better to sell the B2601 with loader, and buy a new or second hand machine with loader.
Hell with snow it’s the summer time and the dang bugs then again I grew up in Chicago so I love the freezing cold. 10 degrees out and you have a window open and the fan going you know they are from the upper Midwest. Hell if they are wearing shorts in 30 degrees which feels like summer you know they are Midwest folks
@@daveulrich4623 spend a day in the woods with a pole saw and trim up the trails. We had a tractor with an aftermarket cab but now have an open station.... wishing I had a factory cab...
B2650HSDC owner here. Now that this model is in the L series vice the B series, what is the likelihood that Kubota will continue to make upgrades to it (or even totally redesign it)? I love my 2650, but would really like to see some of the larger L series features (HST plus, Grand L console layout, etc.) on this frame size. Any chance? Also curious if there’s any major differences in the cab model seats from B to LX; is it worth trying to put an LX seat in my B?
Hay I ant trying to be a s!!t head but what is wrong with the seat why would you trade just for a seat I have the L2501 and I love this tractor seat and all just need to know
@@lawrencebessette754 not talking about trading the whole tractor just for the seat, just wondering about an upgrade for my current seat. Currently, I get pretty stiff after a couple hours of mowing (but I’m also getting a little old). I looked through the Grammer catalogue but couldn’t find any decent upgrades that would fit in the B. They’re also pretty spendy (but I’m sure a seat from Kubota would be too). Suspension adjustment/travel on my current seat is a little lacking. It either compresses all the way to the bottom of the travel or it doesn’t compress at all. Just considering options...
Did the dealership lowball you on the trade in value? ;)

Are your trails wide - is there a big difference for you between a 4 foot and a 5 foot brush hog? If a 5 foot would do it in a single pass, and a 4 foot would need two passes, then you need an LX. If they're both two passes (trails wider than 5 foot), or both single pass (4 foot trail is fine) then either will do the job the same. Finish mowing - also same same.
@@paullambert2668 I use a MX 8 brush hog right now so I'll probably keep them 8 '. The grass and field can get thick so I was thinking the more pto hp I had would probably work the best.
@@ranger6x660 I think an 8" brush hog would be too big for a B2601 (not sure it'd even lift it, let alone enough horsepower to run it), and probably too big for an LX3310. I think the rule is that a brush hog should be narrower than a finish mower (more power to spin), and the LX takes a 72" finish mower.
@@paullambert2668 that was on the MX 5700 I was using. I’m looking at a 5 or 6’ brush hog. Just not sure if I’ll be happy the pto hp on the B2601.
@@ranger6x660 Not if you're trying to drive a 5 or 6 foot brush hog. I believe it'll be marginal to lift a brush hog that large, and it's not enough HP to run it well.
Love the looks of the LX but for my storage space and the things I do with it my little BX, it does great. Yeah it might take me longer but we have what we need.
Yo Neil! I just picked up a pair of Kubota wheel spacers for my B7800. The kit part number I believe was B8785. I think these kits are far superior to any aftermarket spacers out there in the marketplace. Good luck with the new tractor.
I was quick in judgement regarding the age and paint fading. Messick’s just confirmed the tractor is 7 years old. My bad.....
It's 7 years old. Bought it used. It's been outside for all 7.
Messick's Equipment if that’snthe case it actually look pretty good for staying outside for 7 years. make sense now. Actually I should’ve asked how old.
Never mind. Thanks for the confirmation.
I like the way you're arguing your new tractor is tax deductable because you need a new tractor to make you tube videos!! Excellent work.
Never thought of that, but your spot on.
Great videos for a new Kubota owner! Thanks.
Neil. Have a question about mowing with the 72 MMM. How high can you mow? With my BX2660 I can set the mower on high and mow at 6". Useful for rough ground and pastures. Can you do the same with the LX3310? I understand that with pins the deck can be set not to drop with the 3 point hitch. Could you also run the midmount pto and hence the MMM without binding up the pto? My local dealer does not know. Thanks. Great videos keep up the good work.
You should be able to run it up, but I don't know how high it's going to be. Don't expect much for cut quality cutting this high off the ground.
@@MessicksEquip Thanks. Would not expect good cut quality but it is better than my Howse rotary cutter.
Nice machine does have or can it come with suspension seat? I have b 2601 and bad back seat upgrade would be nice! Thanks for all great video and education! Have great Xmas!
Yes, it has some suspension
I believe they will do well, but alot of people that know of or had a B3350 are going to need some convincing, including dealers.
dealers won't, we the bits under the hood are very known to us.
Messick's Equipment did you hear Conway sold their business ?
Yes, I had seen. Interesting new owner. They're going to have a few things to learn about this business.
What's the big deal about the smog system on the 33? Is there any other reason one would go with the 26?
It's not a big deal, other than the one on the prior model didn't work right. this new model will use common and familiar technology.
Man does that Kubota paint fade fast.
Nothing like it used to. they changed the paint 6-8 years ago. It's vastly better now.
Congrats Neil! Looking forward to your videos working it.
Neil- can you install top & tilt on a 3350???
Love your vids!
With some work, yes
I want a 50 hp machine.
I don't know if I need one, but I want one. Want is more powerful than need.
If it makes you happy, then you should totally do it. Unless you want a 50 hp machine on a 1 acre lot, that might be overkill.
I just looked at the very same model yesterday.
Did you leave your B3350 setting out in the sun a lot ? Looks like the paint is really faded. Just curious.
Its been outside for 6-7 years.
@@MessicksEquip I just bought an LX3310 with several attachments and a backhoe. My local dealer , Barnes Equipment in NC , is getting it ready for delivery. Can't wait !
Very nice you cant beat a kubota thanks
What horsepower Kubota is needed to run a small square bailer and haybine? I grossly under bought a B2601 for a 20 acre farm. But I'd like to keep all my attachments and maybe even loader if I can to save money.
50+
@@MessicksEquip thanks. So a L60 or MX?
If you want a bigger machine, you'll also want bigger attachments. Bite the bullet and replace them all. There's no larger machine that takes that loader, you're better to sell the B2601 with loader, and buy a new or second hand machine with loader.
@@MessicksEquip Could a L4701 do the trick?
No cab? Snow’s coming 🥶
Hell with snow it’s the summer time and the dang bugs then again I grew up in Chicago so I love the freezing cold. 10 degrees out and you have a window open and the fan going you know they are from the upper Midwest. Hell if they are wearing shorts in 30 degrees which feels like summer you know they are Midwest folks
How do cabs do in the woods? Would love a cab for the AC and bugs. Worried branches would do a number on it.
@@daveulrich4623 spend a day in the woods with a pole saw and trim up the trails. We had a tractor with an aftermarket cab but now have an open station.... wishing I had a factory cab...
Aka TH-cam bought him a new tractor lol
I wish. :-)
B2650HSDC owner here. Now that this model is in the L series vice the B series, what is the likelihood that Kubota will continue to make upgrades to it (or even totally redesign it)? I love my 2650, but would really like to see some of the larger L series features (HST plus, Grand L console layout, etc.) on this frame size. Any chance? Also curious if there’s any major differences in the cab model seats from B to LX; is it worth trying to put an LX seat in my B?
And congrats on your new ride ;-).
Hay I ant trying to be a s!!t head but what is wrong with the seat why would you trade just for a seat I have the L2501 and I love this tractor seat and all just need to know
@@lawrencebessette754 not talking about trading the whole tractor just for the seat, just wondering about an upgrade for my current seat. Currently, I get pretty stiff after a couple hours of mowing (but I’m also getting a little old). I looked through the Grammer catalogue but couldn’t find any decent upgrades that would fit in the B. They’re also pretty spendy (but I’m sure a seat from Kubota would be too). Suspension adjustment/travel on my current seat is a little lacking. It either compresses all the way to the bottom of the travel or it doesn’t compress at all. Just considering options...
@@scottfechtig9668 I get that and you may need to see your dealer and thay may have a better spring for it
What???? I can't hear you over the cab noise LOL.
Please tell us more about this engine. It is a turbo?
yes
I am torn i love my b2620 does every thing i need it to but the lx is looking good my biggest thing is having to buy
new attachments
LX and B2620 are same size approximately? Would you need new attachments?
@@paullambert2668 no
It someone works, don't fix it!
Love your videos 📹 ❤
Which Canopy did you choose for your new tractor?
Artillian
I have a b2650 and love it. Why are they being phased out?
It was time for a model update and they were tired of dealing with the confusion between the b2601 and the b2650 b3350 the naming system made.
They're not really being phased out, the LX2610 is a basically identical machine with a new model number.
