I can't say about other brands, but the LX series was known for this noise. The new LX models make less of it and the cab does a better job of isolating it as well.
I have run many pieces of equipment big and small. The amount of noise in the cab is not all that loud considering the construction. If you want a quieter cab buy a big tractor. At this size it is plenty quiet. I routinely run the radio in this tractor and do not need to crank it very high to hear it.
Truly....my garage at the time had FAR more in it that would have been perishable if left outside. It resides in the garage when it is not being used for storage for other proposes. Also, do you realize how much floor space this takes when parked.
I enjoy it thank you very much, I have put my time in moving snow for over 20 years bundled up like the Michelin man! So having a nice warm cab to sit in is very nice!
What tires do you have on your tractor? How do you feel they perform in the snow without any chains? I live in Alaska and have a BX 2660 without a cab and getting tired of becoming in a domino snowman every time I use my snowblower. Seriously looking at getting the LX 3310 with the 60 inch snowblower and 60 inch mower deck but having a hard time deciding if I should go with the R4 or R14 tires.
We have the R14's on it. I have personally taken it through some pretty nasty snow depth and not had much problem. The only time I have traction issues is when I am on straight up ice. Then it doesn't do as well, but name a tire that does. I can also attest to the R14's on turf and normal lawn grass. They are much better than R4's there in my opinion. I used this tractor with the front mounted broom to do my dethatching of my lawn this spring. worked great...took me like 30 minutes. No ruts, no major issues from the tractor tires. I love our 3310 and blower. We are currently having an electrical issue that the dealer is coming to get the tractor about in the next couple days. It has an error code and would not start for a couple days. But aside from this hiccup I really love the thing. Previous to this I was using an open ROPS skidsteer for all our snow moving. So a seriously warm and toasty upgrade!
@@Radfisher1 No problem! Thanks for the question about the R14's! Since they were only on the market for a short time before we bought our tractor it was a bit of a hard choice. But they are a really good tire. I don't have issues with them clogging up in snow. And they have enough traction without anything on them to push the blower uphill in about 8-10 inches of snow. The uphill grade would be 10-15% if you are careful we can go up our one driveway with the same amount and it has closer to a 25-30% grade. So yes...we like the combination of these tires, that model and the blower.
I might have but if I did I don't do it one in 1000x. You would find more of the time I engage the PTO after a broom/blower switch and it doesn't engage as I did not throw the lovejoy into position. I am getting better on remembering that but once in awhile it still happens.
Yes, which is how I use it. Trying to put it at a static level is a bad idea unless you have a completely level flat surface. This video doesn't show it but most of the areas I move snow are neither flat or level. The blower works amazingly well even down to about 2 inches of snow. Below that not so much. I plan on doing a video with the power broom eventually but just haven't gotten to it yet.
@omegawolf81 I use the float on my New Holland and it works well for me. I want to upgrade to the Kubota so I can get the enclosed cab and enjoy the heat.
@@danmcgivern1345 Hey who doesn't like to enjoy heat while moving snow? HAHAHAHA We had an ice storm here late last week and the blower was of no use float or no float. The power broom was not even that useful. As I told everyone, I would have rather had 12" of snow. Least that way I could move it and be done. I love our Kubota LX3310! Makes the yucky winter tasks much more "enjoyable" well as much as possible.
i hope you are not engaging the PTO at full throttle? thats one way to either destroy the pto it self or blow u joints in the driveshaft for the snowblower. i learned that the hardway
Thanks! She is a fun ride that is for sure. A definite upgrade over running our 1999 Case 1838 skidsteer. No cab just the ROPS and no blower just a bucket! This is way faster and to be honest...a little more fun. I didn't do the dethatching video due to rushing to get it done. But the rotary broom on the front of this does a very good job of that and small amount snow cleanup. The cab throws so much heat I am not sure it could get cold enough for me to not move snow now. HAHAHAHA!!!
@@coreymartin6087 Good luck our dealer was having issues getting our package together back around the holidays. Thankfully they had 2 LX3310's sitting on the lot when I went over to inquire about it. They had a bit of trouble sourcing the blower took a few weeks. But the dealer we dealt with was very good about finding the equipment quite quickly. I would suggest stocking up on shear pins for the auger. I think I broke 2-3 this winter, thankfully they are super easy to replace. Now I have no less than 4 spares for the auger and 2 spares for the impeller onboard. They are a really good machine for snow moving!!!!
@@omegawolf81 thanks for the advice I just kinda wished he wasnt so busy I feel like I gotta stay on top of em to keep them doing what they gotta do seems like they dont have enough staff at this dealer
@@coreymartin6087 Well when you get it you are going to have some fun. They are a really great machine. I installed the radio package from Messick's which works really well!
HAHAHAHA....don't I wish! It is a pricey rig to be certain. But after 30+ years moving snow on open station tractors and skidsteers. TOTALLY worth it, of course it has to snow for me to actually use it.
Nice tractor 👍🏻
Thanks she is a beauty that's for sure. Since it looks like snow is done my next video will be dethatching a lawn(s) with the front broom.
Watching this two years later....do all compact have this hydrolic wine..
I can't say about other brands, but the LX series was known for this noise. The new LX models make less of it and the cab does a better job of isolating it as well.
I’ve watched 2 videos in a row of LX tractors and the cab noise is loud on them.
I have run many pieces of equipment big and small. The amount of noise in the cab is not all that loud considering the construction. If you want a quieter cab buy a big tractor. At this size it is plenty quiet. I routinely run the radio in this tractor and do not need to crank it very high to hear it.
Truly, if you can afford that tractor, you can afford a garage.

Nothing like plowing snow in shorts and a T-shirt.
I enjoy it thank you very much, I have put my time in moving snow for over 20 years bundled up like the Michelin man! So having a nice warm cab to sit in is very nice!
That’s what I thought until I broke my first sheer pin.

Four-wheel-drive should be good without tire chains I never use them and I have the R4s industrial
Did you engage the PTO with it throttled up?.... Kind of seems like it... If you are doing that you're going to end up breaking something
I might have but if I did I don't do it one in 1000x. You would find more of the time I engage the PTO after a broom/blower switch and it doesn't engage as I did not throw the lovejoy into position. I am getting better on remembering that but once in awhile it still happens.
When lowering the blower are you able to put it in float?
Yes, which is how I use it. Trying to put it at a static level is a bad idea unless you have a completely level flat surface. This video doesn't show it but most of the areas I move snow are neither flat or level. The blower works amazingly well even down to about 2 inches of snow. Below that not so much.

No and if I do engage the PTO at more than idle it is 1 in 100 times.
Nice tractor! Im debating on trading my bx2380 in on a lx3310

@@omegawolf81 lol hell yeah I gotta actually get ahold of the dealer today see what's going on with my tractor

You ought to get a commission from Kubota, you're vid is going to sell a few of these.

Wonder if that'll work for leaves. Lol
Not as well...but I have thrown some wet heavy leaves that were in portions of the driveway. So it kind of does work...LOL!!!
