Ya, it's funny how things work out. Up until a week ago I was 95% sure I was going to stay w/green. Today it's all about orange :D

The dealer is starting the build up on Monday. Hopefully buy Tuesday I can snap a few photos with the wheels on it. I hear everyone likes pictures :licking:

That looks like one of those Revell plastic Kubota model kits. :laughing:

Nice you well like it!! Thanks for the pictures, it tells me why the paint was missing on the right front axle and it was not shipped with kubota oil in it.
You might want them to put the rears out as wide as they well go so you don't have to later. Sure makes it a good feeling tractor.

Waiting sure is going to be hard. I agree with Leejohn on having the rear tires set out wide, we did this on our L5030 and M8540. Are you going to put fluid in them.

And yes, we love pictures.

I think you be fine with the R4's we got 7" of snow over the weekend and have
moved a fair amount of hay since then, you hardly make them spin even on
hard pack, in 4WD of course ;-)
Congrats, I love the cab!

Well yesterday they finished up the 2 sets of remotes/block heater. If all goes right it looks like early next week for delivery.

Yes,they will be filling the tires w/fluid. In fact that's the only thing left for them to do. :thumbsup:


I snapped a few photos this morning at the dealership. Sorry, I know they're a little dark.

For those wondering if a cab model would fit in a garage with an 8' door, no problem :thumbsup:

Nothing quite like a new tractor; very nice.:thumbsup:

I use our garage which has an 8' door to service our L5030 HSTC. They are pretty easy to service.
