Our New Tractor Arrived

[Greg mgm]

We finally made the deal on a new BX 2660, and it arrived this morning.

The delivery truck pulls up-

Purchased from Al's Kubota in Hemet CA-

The tie downs coming off-

Woo hoo...The new tractor coming to it's new home-

Going over the checklist-

The BX2660 puts a smile on my face-

My wife taking it for a spin-

Nice and shiny....for the moment-

The other new item in the background. Two new additions in 3 days-

I spent 3 hours moving dirt in a couple areas including leveling an area that will be our new garage. I found the Kubota surprising easy to operate. Seating position was excellent after sliding it forward a bit. Pedals were also easy to use, as was the shift control and steering.

I very much enjoyed doing so called "work" today.

Congrats on the new tool.. Great pictures too!
It's been alota years since I was out there near Idyllwild.. Pretty area.

Was stationed up in the 29 Palms and hiked all over Joshua Tree...
We even drove thru Berdoo (spelling?) canyon a few times..
I could swear that the end of the canyon was part of Patton's old desert training center.. Long story on that one...

anyway...

Remember not to let on how much fun working that tractor is....


Later,

Congratulations on the arrival of the newest member of your family! Mom seems to have bonded well, but make sure to maintain enough seat time to provide the appropriate male role model. Best of luck.

Ya, Idyllwild is a real nice area....We love it!
We used to camp and hike at Joshua Tree also. You could walk for miles...
The smile on my face is a definite giveaway that tractor "work" is FUN!

She really likes the Kubota, but not sure if she'll play in the dirt with it.
That's OK, it gives me more seat time!

Thanks for the comments.

Congrats! That's a very sturdy looking Middlebuster/Subsoiler you have there. What brand/model is it?

 

[Greg mgm]

Thanks!

Its a Gearmore GR 100 with a 15" furrowing shovel. Very HD.
The dealer tossed them in to sweeten the deal.

Congrats on the Tractor. For safety, you should always travel with the loader no more than a foot off the ground as high C.O.G. can cause problems. Also, you might to consider a guard for the front of tractor as it is easy to bump into things when you are dumping etc.

Tom,

Thanks for the safety tip. I'll definitely do that.
Our property slopes off in different directions, so I'll try to operate the tractor as safe as possible. Also, we have a grill guard waiting for us at the dealer and will be mounted in a couple days.

You know....I really need to stop going to our local Kubota dealer since they have all sorts of stuff I'd like...

JohnThomas; I believe I note a wistful tone in your post - should Barlow's make ready for a visit?



Nice tractor and pics, Greg - congrats!
