Got my new toy! These things seem smaller once you get them home. I hope it's big enough!

The tractor looks great. Congrats and be safe.

I do have to say, however, that those ratchet straps look pretty flimsy for holding that tractor on the trailer. Glad you made it home safe, but if you're going to haul it much you should upgrade your straps. You can buy four 10,000 pound (3,333 pound working limit) straps at Northern Tool for $40 ($10 each). So using undersized ratchet straps is penny-wise and pound-foolish.

Lol thanks pappy, they aren't as small as they look. They're 1.5" straps rated for a couple thousand lbs each. I use them for my UTV, weighs over 1600 lbs. I'm a strap nut! So yeah they are plenty stong.

Well I bought a kubota B2620 w/loader instead. 2014 with 14 hrs for $12,900
A few thousand less than a john deere

I agree that seems like a great price. I'm looking at the same; a kubota B2620 or kubota B2320. I'd be interested in your early impressions. To all; Do you gain much going to the kubota B2920? Enjoy!

Haven't used it much, just moved some snow with it. I wouldn't go any smaller though. I love the compact size and think it will be great for my uses for it. Anything bigger gets hard to get around in the woods. The operator platform is great I'm a bigger guy.
