Hello, was looking for a bit of advice and help on the following:
I have recently purchased a little over 6 acres that is mostly wooded. I am looking to clear this land to build and then maintain the grounds after construction is finished.
On a recent trip to the Kubota dealer ship (every Saturday more if I can fit them in) they had the following on consignment from an individual who had just sold his acreage and was no longer needing the tractor.
1990 L3250 4WD Tractor w/ 314 Hrs (4cyl, 40hp, 32pto) Shuttle Shift
BF400 Loader
BL4690 Backhoe w/ two buckets
6’ Box Blade
FMC SW-66 Rotary Cutter 5’
1997 18’12K Trailer with brakes on one axle
From a quick look over it seems to be in good visible shape. The dealer has said that all maintenance has been preformed there.
Asking $18k
One thing that did notice is that the BH is not a sub frame mount; it is attached to the 3 pt. I have read that this set up is rough on the tractor itself but I was wondering how bad? I will be putting in a driveway that will be about 1000’ long (clearing tree stumps)and digging utility lines about ~ 1200’. Will this be too much for the BH and 3 pt hitch?
The hours do not seem to be to bad about 20 p/yr. The age is a bit of a concern though. I will have enough work ahead of me and do not want to have another project on my hands.
Any thoughts on the price, BH issue and age would be greatly appreciated. Thank You in advance for your help.

I picked up a 2000 L35 TLB last summer with everything you have listed, minus the rotary cutter, for $19K. Best investment I ever made on my farm. L35 has the sub-frame. I would be concerned using a 3pt BH for clearing stumps--places considerable strain on rear & trans housing. Otherwise, believe OK for light to medium work. ....
