So far so good, B3200

[roostersmasher]

Posted a few weeks ago about the new B3200 I had just bought. Have only put 16 hours on it so far. WOW, I have been getting the work done with this machine and some.

I laugh at myself, I have several different projects going in all area's of the property. I guess it's that ADHD thing I must have, so therefore I am normal, I think.

Greased the loader the other day. Been keeping a close eye on the air filters and climbing around underneath the machine. Just keeping an eye on'er.

Trying to get use to the quarter inch backblade deal. I am getting better at leveling the big area's. Our road is not mantained by the county, but it sure looks good now.

So, I am just posting to more or less post and let ya know I love it.

I'm at 11 months and as of tonight 106 hours.... One piece of advice is while you are crawling round underneath, check the loader subframe bolts. The book calls for them to be torqued at 50 (I think) and 100 hours etc. I found some loose bolts at around 25-30 hours so torqued them all down, torqued again at 50 hours. Doing the 100 hours check last weekend, I was missing one of the bolts into the clutch housing completely (easily replaced after a trip to the store). I have been giving my loader a good workout....

I love my B3200 - glad I went for the extra power over the smaller B's but any bigger would be harder to maneuver. Glad you are enjoying learning your new tool.

16 hours and counting. Thought I would post a few photos of some of the smaller projects I have been tackling. I will post a couple of the bigger stuff I am getting ready to plow into.

You know that getting the tractor is only the start, right? You will find all kinds of impliments that are "must haves". I just put my new Wallenstein BX 42 wood chipper togeather this morning. It HAS to be a virus of some sort that makes us "need" all these toys; I mean tools, cough, cough.

Yeah the attachment problem .....

My dealer told me he had another homeowner customer whose wife would buy him ( or let him buy?) an attachment each birthday and Christmas. I thought that would be a very fast rate to add implements..

So 11 months on I am addicted. I could not resist the slightly scratched! but new box blade so that was delivered with the tractor, loader and snowblower.

We had been considering a stand alone generator, but then got one for the PTO. A used Wallenstein BX40 was too good to pass on and has seen a load of use this summer. Then the forks for the loader arrived.

Tomorrow I will be driving through New Hampshire and intend to try and find a ratchet rake at TSC...

It is an addiction, but a very useful one!

The pictures of your property look really nice - i'm sure you will enjoy your new tractor.

I called all of the NH TSC's a month or so ago about the on-sale ratchet rakes - and there was only one in stock in the whole state. A few of the stores had in stock (or carried and were out of stock) - on the 60" ratchet rakes.

I would suggest calling ahead before doing the driving.
