Just a quickie howdy to introduce myself before I go straight to the forums asking question without using the search function.

My primary ride is a 2013 Kubota B3200 w/ loader and BH77 backhoe. Over the years, she has treated me well, considering I ride her hard and let her sleep outside.
I've put somewhere around 700 hours on her since she was delivered and aside from periodic maintenance and occasional front tire issues, the only real drama she suffers from are the occasional broken bucket tooth or ripper blade. I did accidentally drop a log on her hood once, however, she forgave me.

We spend the majority of our time:
trenching
digging holes for tree planting
rotary cutting
boxing and scraping
landscape raking
moving piles of dirt.​

I love her little portals and wheel her pretty hard in and around the property. She kinda puts my Jeep to shame at times.
One little nugget of wisdom I will drop in here is that the B3200 will accept a group 51R battery to replace stock.

Here's a picture of her doing her thing.

Much obliged, ma'am.

One of the most beautiful parts of our fair golden state. It's ground zero for the Gold Rush and some of the best skiing and wheeling in the world :)

Here's the kind of dirt we have here. Nice hard clay.

You know the neighbor loves you and your tractor when you come outside and find this waiting for you.

Yep. For me, if a neighbour insists on 'paying' for a tractor job, it's a bottle of Pinot Noir (or two, depending on the job).

That's if they 'insist'... otherwise, it's all 'tractor fun!'.

We need to trade neighbors. I don't think I'm showing enough leg to get paid with wine.
