Finally pulled the trigger

[wmiller]

Well I finally made up my mind on which type of tractor to buy. I finalized the deal on Wednesday and gave the dealer a deposit. It was between a TC33D or L3010. I felt more comfortable with the L3010 and also the Kubota dealer. I expect to take delivery within the next few days.
I got it with a loader, 5' Woods Brushbull, and a 5' Woods rear grading blade. I have jobs planned already of course. I told my wife that it will be my midlife crisis toy. Better a tractor than a Vet and a blonde. The dealer said, yea Bill the tractor is more practical too.
Thanks for everyone's help over the past few weeks.

Congratulations, Bill. I got really close to the same thing (my Father has a 2001 L3010 HST) just before I found the old blue Ford. I've managed to stave off the inevitable for a few more years. My second childhood is scheduled for between 2005 and 2008, if my wrists hold out with the manual steering.

Pictures would be nice.

Congratulations Bill. I bought my B2910 two years ago using the same "mid-life crisis" term. Fortunately, I was quickly corrected by someone a few years my senior that said I was "too young for a mid-life crisis, your tractor is a pre-mid-life crisis".

That leaves some wiggle room for a vette after the tractor is paid for. I won't comment on the blonde...my wife is within visual range of my monitor. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif


Enjoy,

Hmmm... I never thought of it that way, but... I got the blonde in November and my Deere in December. /w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif

Neither was new but each was low mileage. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif Guess which one requires less maintenance. /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

I tried the mid-life crisis thing a couple of years ago when I first started to look for a tractor. I said I wanted something that would out-last me. She said I was to young for a mid-life crisis, anyway I was supposed to want a sports car. I waited a year or so, and went I out and bought a Lincoln LS V8. I know this may not be a proper sports car, but this is my first real car. I've only owned trucks. Now its a year later and I'm still looking for a tractor. She says, I'm wierd.
