Kubota L3800 HST 4WD Posted by J. Williams on 08/07/2014

I've used my tractor to plow, disc, mow, blade snow and maintain a gravel drive.

I plant a couple of acres of food plots. My ancient 16" single bottom plow works the tractor pretty hard in areas that hadn't been plowed (tree roots), after that it does fairly well. I think it would do even better if I could figure out how to get a plow set up just right.

It pulls an old 6' disc harrow with ease (20 16" solid discs). This is one area where the tractor is a bit too small physically. I plowed up some fall plots, and disced the next day. The tractor has a bit of trouble stepping over fresh 16" furrows with the disc all the way down, had to make 2 passes in a couple of spots with the disc up a bit. It has enough power; once the furrows are knocked down it pulls the disc easily in mid range.

In winter it is used for snow removal on 750' of driveway. I have a 6' back blade. The tractor doesn't get stuck even grading deep snow or gravel up a steep hill. It has R4 industrial tires. They are air filled.

It handles a 5' brush hog easily.

It has an LA524 loader, works great. I mostly use it to "bulldoze" cut tree limbs and brush into piles. The most I've lifted with it is about 500 lbs. It handled it easily. I was impressed at how easily it started in bitter cold weather.
