Welcome to TBN

Look into getting a I-Match QH also so you won't have to wrestle that ballast box.

What made you go with the green cab instead of the orange?

i was originally looking at the kubota l3940hstc but believe it or not the JD dealers where giving better deals.Both where fairly similar in price but the kubota was only giving 8 or 9% discount and i was able to get the 3720 set up for a 14% discount.I also thought the cab quality on the jd beat the orange hands down.The overall all Green tractor to me was just better for the money.The kubota i had was great i never had a problem with it but the kubota dealers where not that willing to wheel and deal like the Green dealers.I was very happy with my dealer and saleman and that sealed the deal.i bought it out of stae in NH and hired a trucker on uship and had it delivered to me for just $225 for the 145 mile trip.

Welcome to TBN, welcome to GREEN, I plowed in RI with my former 4100 and so I know with that unit you will kick some butt up there in that environment when it snows, and you will be warmer too! I bought mine in MASS at that time and I had a trailer hooked to my SUV and I brought that unit home. I once was contemplating Kubota, but bought JD and stayed JD.

Nice tractor and Blower! I know you will enjoy the cab. There are a ton of threads on radio installs and other cab light tricks here. Enjoy!

Just wanted to give an update on my tractor.On sat morning when i went out to move my tractor so i could start to setup my temporary shelter for it .I noticed a large amount of oil and oil spray on left side of engine and the top of stater.The cover guard around the turbo had quite a bit of oil puddled in it and was dripping down on the top of starter and the wires below it.There was oil spray on the side of engine and all surrounding areas down to the frame.I litteraly have put .4 hours on it for a grand total of 6.9 hours.It a had 6.5 when delivered.I contacted the dealer this morning and the salesman that sold it to me was not working today so i asked to speak to the owner.He was not in yet and they said he would call me when he got in.As of 5:00 pm today he has not retuned my call.I really hope this is not an indication as to how this is going to be handled.I am concerned some damage has been done to the engine because of the white oil smoke from exhaust and the strong odor of burning oil.I am going to ask them to replace the tractor with a new unit or refund my money and i will purchase a new one from another dealer.Sorry for the long post but i am a little upset at this situation.If anyone has any ideas on this i would love to hear them.Thanks for the chance to vent.

WOW, Sorry to hear of your troubles...
In the morning, call the Service Manager-he is the one that can and will help you, not your salesman and not the owner.

I seriously doubt any damage was done other than the mess. The white smoke is normal anyway when it cold out.

My money say's it's a simple fix and all will be well...they will probably send a mechanic out and fix it in your driveway.
