Sorry for your wait! I bought a new JD a few weeks ago (not as nice as yours...) and it was delivered in a couple of hours. Thats a tough wait...

So to recap, ordered the 3038E with front loader and a bush hog and tiller October 25th or so, the tractor with the loader arrived at the farmette the 28th of December (in time before there was any serious snow). The attachemnts were back ordered, but it was the bucket needed for snow removal anyway (a plow I know is better) . The attachments arrived two weeks ago mid January.
FYI my ex-wife (and best friend) who knows tractors has been using it to do just that since I work overseas in Indonesia and get home maybe twice a year. I am looking forward to a Spring trip home to take my first ride, cut the grass in the pasture and till the garden and take a break from a stressful job. Anyway, she says it is easy to drive and handle and she has driven alot of tractors (her family has a 180 acre farm in Greene County). Well worth the wait I think and hope.

My 3720 with Deluxe Cab arrived at the dealer very late on Monday. It has been on order since October 20 - total of 117 days or nearly four months. Of course holiday shut downs and bad weather didn't help things. I took the rear tires to the nearest Rim Guard dealer (65 miles) yesterday and had them loaded. The FEL, RB, and 59 inch snowblower are at the dealer but he is missing the AF11E blade at this point and it will be about 2 weeks before that comes in. Tractor should be delivered "early next week" and when it finally gets here I will post pictures.

:thumbsup:

How did you know? I actually slept much better last night than I have in weeks! Everything is finally coming together. We still have over 30 inches of snow on the ground but it warmed up to 55 today! No new snow of any amount in the forecasts. March can be a heavy snow month in Minnesota however.

That warm weather is upon the Northeast for today and tomorrow. March can be very snowy and our winter ends right about April 15th.

You must be one hungry cat waiting for that gorgeous tractor....Cab and all.!!:thumbsup:

I think it will be worth the wait.

PICTURES.!!!!

Hurray my 3720 is here and has been busy clearing snow! It arrived at the dealer on Feb. 14th. During the pre-delivery preparation and inspection they discovered a leaking seal in the MFWD so that had to be repaired. Delivery to me took place late on Feb. 23rd. Roughly four months after I ordered it. In addition to the equipment in the pictures it also has a FEL and bucket. Yet to come is a front blade for the FEL (AF11E) which I don't need until next winter because we have so much snow I must use the blower now or the one mile road would get too narrow. The R4 tires are Rim Guard loaded. The cab is outstanding. I was practicing so with it this morning and the outside temperature was about 12 below zero but I had to keep turning the heat down in the cab because I was getting too warm!

I've never looked at anything bigger than a scut, but I see the 3000 series has a 3 point hitch type front quick attach. How is it to take on and off? Does it all have to come off like on the scuts to use the loader?

Nice tractor :thumbsup:
