Buying Advice New L3800 Did I get it Right?

[CrestonNC]

I purchased 11 acres in the NC mountains last year. Mostly slopped forest with about 600' of gravel drive. I started looking for the good used 4x4 and reading the Tractorbynet forums. Now I love forums and have been lurking on here a lot but I think they double the cost of anything I buy! I just puchased:

L3800 HST w/ FEL
Quick Detach
Filled tires R1
Draw Bar
Rear work lights
Tooth Bar
WR Long OBG 54" Grapple
Third function Valve
LandPride RCR1860
Southern 6' box blade
Kubota 0% for 60 free delivery and filters for the first service
$25000 including NC tax.

Holy S**T!

I have never owned a tractor before.

I think you did good. My L3700SU package ran me $20500 and the diff being I got a landscape rake added and you added filled tires, work lights, grapple and third function. I think the $4500 diff is easily earned by the value of the grapple and third function.

Good Job! Pictures are mandatory, so add the cost of the professional portfolio to the deal. a snap of the photos on the mantel instead of the kids is acceptable proof of commitment. :laughing:

Congrats on your new investment.

You got fair/deal even w/NC tax compare to NH w/no tax.

I wouldn't say what a good deal is on that tractor with the attachments.

But, I would say you got one heck of a tractor and some great attachments.:thumbsup:

The enjoyment and the work you will get out of that rig is priceless.!!

Best of luck with the operation of your new machine.:thumbsup:
