Kubota 3200
Just arrived yesterday. Can't wait for the weekend. Backhoe is a little tricky for a newbee. Any tips?

By the way, The Man cave colors (Kubota Orange) was the wifes idea :licking: She's priceless.

Congratulations ! That garage is off the hook ! :thumbsup:

Only advice as far as the backhoe goes..... start slow. Mine seems to operate plenty fast enough just above idle... 12 - 1500 rpms. Practice, practice, practice !

Thanks Ductape. I was actually wondering about the rpm range. Also, I'm left handed and find myself pulling on the left stick more then the right. Like you said, practice, practice.

Congrats, the B3200 TLB is quite the set up. When I had mine I added a thumb along with the backhoe bucket, great tool for grabbing items. You may want to add the rubber pads for the back hoe stabilizers, it makes less of a mess on lawn and if your digging on concrete or blacktop saves that.Oh also maybe the front bucket edge protector, Good luck you'll love that tractor.

Hmm, front bucket edge protector. Never seen one of those before :ashamed: I'll need to look that up. Thanks. I do have the thumb on order. In addition, I'll order the 63 inch front blower in October.
My last setup B7610 with the BX2750 blower was sufficient but it wasn't going to fit this tractor. I feel the size of the new blower is over doing it for my 400 foot driveway, but guess it's got to be done. I feel like I now need to get a trailor and put it to work. You ever get that feeling that you bough something that was over kill?

Thats a nice looking tractor. They look so nice before you start to use them and get them all scratched up! For the BH my recommendation would be to practice on level ground in an area where you can't do too much damage with a mistake. It takes practice to get the levers down and at first you'll probably push it the wrong way more often than not, which isn't an issue unless you hit something... if you hit something you're going to apply a lot of force to it unintentionally and if its a car, house, tree, etc you could do serious damage easily (ask me how I know!). I would also get the hang of what using it does to the tractor, each machine is different, but on mine I can move the machine around with the BH, so on uneven ground I need to be very conscious of that because I could drag the machine into a dangerous situation easily. A good exercise I've used with any new machine is to try and do something with it that requires fine movements (pick up a smallish rock, make a scratch in the surface of the dirt, etc) that will help you get a sense of movement and control. When you got to higher RPM's the speed (and power) will increase, so that's something to be aware of as well. Most of all have fun!!

Congrats on your new tractor and that delicious garage! If I ever come over for dinner I think I could eat right off that floor.... :thumbsup:

Great looking man shed and the color makes it all that much more impressive. Plus, your new tractor seems quite at home.
Since I don't have a backhoe yet I have not tips, but I can agree with the ones allready offered.
Enjoy, and can you ever overdo a tractor if your having fun and doing something you love.

Thanks guys for all the comments and thanks for the picture devildog1. Will certainly think about that. Here in New England we have more rocks than dirt. Hence the need for the bh. As the garage goes, I'd like to do the floor with black apoxy coating with orange chips. Again, the wife's idea lol. I'll post some picture of the machine if I ever do anything impressive.

Looks better than all the kubota showrooms that I have been in. Nice ride. You will love the set up, I have the same one. The BH just takes time and practice, start slow just like everyone else said.

Didn't realize were not that far from each other. Youll have fun with the bh and rocks! How long until you get an orange car to match the garage:D
