Re: ANY L-39\'S ARRIVED AT YOUR LOCAL CT.-MA. DEALER??

OK, I'm jealous. I saw one at Chappel Tractor one night on my way home, and I liked it. There is/was one at Toreku tractor in Harvard MA that I crawled all over.
I'm sure you'll be very happy with your new toy/tool.
Hopefully I'm not being out of line, and you obviously don't have to answer if you don't want to, but this is the buying/pricing category. How much $$$ did you pay for it, and what did you get with it? Financing?? Warranty?

Thanks!

2+ hours so far, Kubota "5"- tree stumps "0".
The GST transmision has a learning curve, nothing run over or through yet. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Walt,

What a fine machine! You will be happy. I'm continually blown away at the capabilities of this relatively small machine.

Definite learning curve. I'm starting to get used to mine after hours of use starting a road project. You just kind of forget about it and do the shuttle shifting without thinking about it.

boshea:
Some answers to your questions:
1. Price: $35,500 & 750.00 for front hydro kit.
2. 0.0% for 36 months, until 30 june 2005
3. Warrenty: 12 month on entire machine, 24 months on drivetrain.

As with anything in demand, not much room to negotiate on price, but bought from a dealer that has given me great service for the past 5 years.
The next purchase is a root/rock Grapple rake. As I'll only buy a grapple once, I'm leaning toward the AnBo.

Jim:

No tractor time today, as I'm working overtime to pay for this
back & body saver. As noted in my last post, I'm looking at the AnBo grapple. With that, I'll only need to get off the seat to refuel the tractor and myself.
I have hemmed & hawwed all spring, but once I saw & operated the L-39, I was sold.
When the dealer called me to say it was in stock, he gave me the first opportunity to test it. I was hoping he would keep it a secret until I could get there. I guess that makes me a "tractor geek"/ now happy owner.

Thanks again for your past info. relating to the L-39.

Walt, I got a super heavy duty ToothBar from W.R. Long, it is quite a stout piece, you'll need it for the L39, I have already snapped a 3/8" Grade 43 chain rated at 5,400 pounds with the L39's FEL, using 3/8" Grade 80 with 12,000 pounds now!

P.S. You'll get used to the GST easily enough. I usually start out from stop in 7th gear and simply shift around from there, higher gears to go somewhere and lower gears to maneuver around. No need for clutch except when you want to feather it out for more control or start off from stop in 10th gear or something. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I'm still wet behind the ears when it comes to tractors, but out of curiosity, I stopped by Goldstein's Lawn and Garden in Westport, MA (508-678-0381) and they had an L39 on the lot. That is one nice machine, but WAY outta my league! The L3400 they had looked like something I could handle.
