This machine is a December 2006 Kubota 3830 GST tractor with an LA273 loader. GST means "glide shift transmission". It means that you have 12 forward gears and 8 reverse and these can be changed whilst the machine is moving if the gear lever to the left of the steering wheel is in either forward or reverse. The bucket has quick release handles. The tyres are R4 industrial style and the machine has only 101 genuine hours on the clock !!
