We received 8 inches at my house and about 12' at the top of our mountain, so I am enjoying both my tractor and Gator today. I had hoped our SC poster would have gotten some such that he could have tried out his machine in the snow.

Correction: 12 INCHES, not feet, that would have been a lot of snow.

We got enough here.. and it's not going away; either. Minus 13F this morning and minus 6F yesterday morning.
But it's clear blue skies and a dazzling bright sun!! The wife and I went horseback riding yesterday, too!
I'm ready for some dirt; enough of this snow stuff..

I was going to go to Alaska this summer via school mission trip, but they're sending me to South Philadelphia. And that's right up the road! Ah well, I'm doing a mission trip for something, and it ain't vacation!

Yessir. I grew up runnin' Masseys, Fords, Farmalls, etc... but there is something about that shiny Green and Yellow that gets you right "there".
The wife took her for a spin around the back forty this afternoon. My chest was bursting with pride.
And the wife wasn't lookin' bad either.
Been reading this with great interest as I'm at almost the same crossroads ... in my case the offer is on a 3036E here in the UK ... I'm really torn in my mind as to what I should do.

Have you any further pics and can you add any updates to how you feel about your purchase of the 3038E?
My dealer has yet to even get one in and says he maynot as sales are slower and he has 2320's 2520's in stock.
Good Luck and good health to enjoy your new tractor
Cheers

I also told my husband time for a new tractor. Two old Massey's and I don't feel comfortable handling them, plus he just had a knee replacement and then a heart attack 7 weeks after surgery. Time for something easy to handle. So today we looked at the 3038e. We have 13 acre's. Normally just monthly pasture cuts, small garden area for the 2 of use, hay bales to move in winter. Tractor looks so small compared to the massey 135 and 175 but my, so much easier to handle. I just don't want to buy a tractor too small for the job.
