3800 Has Arrived

[littlehorsefarm]

First let me say THANK YOU to all those who gave their opinions and advice during my decision making process. :thumbsup:

Working night shift did not stop me from getting up early this morning to meet the dealer as he unlocked the gates. My new L3800 was delivered to The Little Horse Farm along with an auger, box scraper and bale spear. I think it took about .25 seconds for me to start tearing up the ground.

All I can say is WOW! :laughing:

Last week I tried digging with a post hole digger and failed (Georgia clay). I rented a powered auger from Home Depot and with two women and one man we made it 16" in one hour; hence the motivation for a new tractor purchase!

Ok... this little tractor packs a punch! I tore up that hole with the back hoe and then tried out the FEL on some grading the the same area. I haven't gotten around to taking pictures except for one right before the tractor was loaded on the trailer. I'll keep you all updated and post some pictures ASAP.

Thanks again for sharing your thoughts!

If this is a true story, Congratulations!:thumbsup: If it's a made up Tale then you picked a good subject, Kubota.

This is my Kubota tractor... there are many like my tractor, but this tractor is mine :thumbsup:

As promised ... here she is on the morning of delivery before I started tearing things up!

OK ... So I've got 5 hours in my new 3800 and have already torn up some metal :laughing:

Pictured...Me at work with the new Bush Hog Auger. I've always done fence by hand or with a small powered auger. This sucker goes through clay like its butter!

"My tractor, without me, is useless. Without my tractor, I am useless. I must use my tractor true." Nice looking tractor.

Looks nice....... how did you ever live without it? Like that tooth bar your dealer installed.

Not sure! In two hours I leveled and graded two tandem dump loads of dirt. I moved a downed tree I cut up last week in under 15 minutes. Dug out a 10" tree stump in 5 minutes flat. Cut a service entrance, 12 foot in width... finished the day off by removing the backhoe and sunk ten 4x6 posts to 36 inches in about an hour and a half.

Tomorrow I'll dig some more holes and start pouring the cement!

I'm still laughing ... got in before dark!
