B3300su, waiting and tire shortage

[JDbymarriage]

Went to my local dealer last Friday to finally buy a tractor. After much study and test driving over the last year or so, I have decided on a B3300su w/FEL.

Much to my dismay, they did not have one in stock. One was ordered and the wait commenced. Now the dealer calls and says there is a tire shortage. Another week! (at least)Arggh!

I have consulted this forum extensively over the last few weeks. When I had question, someone else had already asked it and received a flood of advice, opinions, and even a few good answers :laughing: That pretty much relegated me to the status of a lurker.

I just want to say thank you to everyone who helped, even though you didn't know you were.

Sorry about your wait. There are hundreds of readers and watchers that never respond and it's OK.:thumbsup:

Congratulations on your new tractor.

Congrats on your new tractor... what tires did you opt for that there is a shortage of them?

 

[JDbymarriage]

The R4s.

That is a great little tractor - I have about 5 hours on ours.

I was sure glad we chose the ATI QA 54" bucket and the ATI Universal Skid Steer adapter plate. The ATI bucket was about $900 (Kubota bucket is around $400) there is a huge difference in quality. The ATI bucket has a round back (no manure or wet dirt get's trapped in the hard corners of the bucket).

Ted at Everything Attachments sell's these.

I'm familiar with EA. They're about an hour from me.

Very nice. If you don't mind me asking - how much did the Kubota pallet forks attachment end up costing? I didn't gone one when I ordered my B3200 - now, I'm thinking I should have.

Wow. If I would have known that Kubota was delivering women with their tractors.........I would have gone orange also, all I got was a hat




Nice tractor. Enjoy and be safe.

Right around $1k

Hence my screen name. She told me once that I could buy any tractor I wanted as long as it was a JD. But she finally came around .
