Frank,

I agree with you. I haven't ordered a new vehicle in over 15 years, and I get 2 new vehicles every 3 years. If I can't find it on the lot, then I figure that it wasn't meant to be right then. Besides, I think you can usually get a better deal with it sitting right there. I think that's because it saves the salesman a bunch of work./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

I got a Kubota L3010 HST with a LA482 loader, woods BB60 rotary cutter, R4's, and a woods box scraper. I might get the foldable ROPS ($200). That way I could fit it in my garage. But, then I would have to clear out all the junk that's already there. I was considering eventually building a shed/barn for it, but my wife made a good point. It would cost me either $200 for the foldable ROPS, or $whoknowswhat for the new shed/barn!

Interesting perspective for the picture! How high up did you need to be to get that look?

Nice looking tractor too!!/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

It was taken from the seat of my new Kubota L48!
Actually, I took it from the landing leading out of our kitchen on the second floor.

Thanks! I was originally considering a Massey Ferguson MF1235, then a Kubota L2500, then L2600, then an NH TC29D, then a Kubota B2910, and finally settled on the L3010. I was rather surprised that the price difference between the B2910 and the L3010 was several hundred dollars less than $1000, with the L3010 being 2 hp more and a much bigger tractor. The only things I saw that the B2910 had over the L3010 were armrests on the seat and a telescoping steering wheel! I'm sure there must be more, but if that's it, I'll take the extra ponies and size anyday.

BTW, it took more me more than 2 years to finally purchase.

Let me know how your L3010 works for you. I just bought one with the HD bucket and a 60" Land Pride cutter. I am waiting for the R-4s to show up along with the telescoping 3 point(I do not know what that is but it seemed like something I would need in the long run!) I ordered the folding ROPs because of my pear orchard-keeps it out of the branches!
Waiting is a drag, but I am building a deck this weekend and need to stay concentrated!
