She's here!!! New Kubota L3800 with the works

[ChiefLoneWolf]

Dealer brought her down today. What a rig. Went over the machine and implements for over an hour. Had him show me how to detach and reattach backhoe and loader.
Then the necessary but not so fun part took place :drool:, check changed hands. Well ...

Had an hour of seat time - oh man, got a lot to learn.
What a mess I made ! But as the saying goes - Rome wasn't built in one day either.
And what was to be expected. The garage is just a few inches shy in height.

Thank you all for the support in the deciding and buying stage of this adventure. I'm sure I'll have more to ask and read on the 'operating' part.

Good luck with the new machine. I like the tool box on the arm rest.

It's a beauty, but why is a she, or is a "she" for you and "he" for your wife?:laughing::laughing:

p.s.: did you check it for jerky 3pth?

Yup, comes in handy - as a lunch box :licking:

Heck, I dunno. Figured since everybody else calls her a 'she' ...
But then, it's like the old war pilots. They all stenciled a 'she' on their fuselage.

p.s.: did you check it for jerky 3pth?

No, haven't had a chance. Got too dark too soon .
The tractor came with the 3PH off since the backhoe is on. Gonna work over the weekend on putting the 3PH stuff on and hook up my weight box. I will check then.
