You know you've just bought a new tractor when...

you find yourself putting the recycling in the loader and driving it 50' to the roadside

This thing is too much fun! I even used it to smash the cardboard boxes!

Actually so far my favorite aspect of having the tractor is being able to move the yard-debris trailer around the property to anywhere I have a pile of pruning or brush. No more 30 trips with the wheelbarrow... woohoo!

I also mowed my whole orchard in about 15 minutes instead of taking an hour with the riding mower... nice.

And I took 2 loaders full of llama manure to the neighbors garden plot in 20 minutes, which normally would have taken me 2 hours to bag up, load in the truck, and unload. Plus a hurt back.

I should have gotten this thing years ago.

My new 3320 w/ FEL makes a great crusher for aluminum cans for the recycle bin

A 25.000$ can crusher. How sweet is that......
Sometimes i think the fun of have it to play with is as
important as the real work it can do...

You may find yourself getting rid of your trailer. I finally gave away my Gravely cart, a very heavy duty 2 wheel trailer. I just use the FEL alone or FEL plus box on the carryall.

Still use my hand cart for times I don't want to fire up the tractor.

One of the reasons we purchase tractors is for the ability to do more things faster and easier. It would be against the principe of buying and owning a tractor if it was not used for every thing imaginable. Oh, what imaginations we have somethimes.

I can tell when I start using the tractor too much, the wife will say you had to use your tractor to do that. I just smile and say, I did.

I put my forks on the other day and hauled my tractor 8 miles to my in-laws house. I moved a concrete picnic table for them. What a back saver. JC

They are a back and time saver for sure. I bet Ive done a years work in a few month with mine. I kinda like being organized and every thing clean and put back where it was so I wash the tractor every sunday afternoon. the wife says thats takeing it too far isnt it and smiles?? I told her that you never know when someone might come by and ask me to pull their float in a parade??? jb

My 4120 comes tomorrow. I feel like I've had 15 cups of coffee.

I think the first thing I will do drive it around in circles in the front yard so everyone who drives past will think I'm crazy. But... I'm crazy WITH A NEW TRACTOR!!

After that I have 35 CY pile of cedar mulch to start moving/depositing about our yard/garden. Wheelbarrows are so last week.

When I first got mine two things happened. First, I pushed over a fence post by accident. 2nd, my wife came running out waving her hands as I was driving around in the front yard. Turns out I was rolling up sod! No worries, just unrolled...

Now it's my big orange wheelbarrow. Big fun.

When you fill your loader up with the groceries and stick the bucket over the deck railing so the kids can unload the groceries directly into the kitchen!
