It's new to me!! (pics)

After 2+ years of looking, researching and dreaming I'm a true TBN'r! Last Saturday I, along with the help of fellow TBN’r GaryE (thank you again Gary!), brought home a “used” Kubota L3710 (used = only 130 hours). It’s awesome! It came with a Wallenstein logging winch and all of it looks nearly showroom new. Course I have no earthly idea how to use the winch, but not to worry safety police, I won’t mess with it until I have had proper instruction. (Brother is coming up this weekend, he’s a former logger.)

Just wanted to share the good news with everyone and thank everyone here for all the help over the last couple of years. It’s a great site!

PS Can’t wait for mud season to be over so I can use this thing. Course I can always fix the lawn and driveway later right?!?

The “5th” season, mud season, is here with a vengeance this year. Those pictures (above) were taken Saturday March, 31st (low 50’s Sat and Sun), this one was this morning out my back window Tuesday April 3rd (temp 34!). April Fools!! (on us in the northeast) 3" of wet snow, but of course I went out and “worked” for an hour this morning anyway.

John what a nice looking tractor..............work tool! That winch will be just perfect for you. My neighbor has one and it is amazing what he can pull out with it.

Enjoy!

Nice looking setup, you'll have a lot of fun-

I mean, get a lot of work done with it. Of course as others have said, you'll need some accessories; a grapple for the toothbar, maybe a backhoe and bush hog... and you really should have a welder for the inevitable repairs and modifications.

Good looking machine. Lets see that winch up close. Looks pretty beefy. Will make a good counter weight for FEL work.
