banjobj, I think I know how you feel. When I first came on board this site, I wondered the same thing myself. It's not a matter of limiting oneself to a certain color. It just seems as if there is not as much activity in this section. I guess NH owners are not as gabby as other tractor owners. I'm an exception to that rule.

ERNIEB,
"are not as gabby as other tractor owners" maybe thats do to the weather conditions and honey do list.
Heck last night Harv kinda lock himself in his office because his wife didn't want to go north because of the weather.
Up here its just plan icy w/deep snow.
Down in Texas area the ground soggy and not much tilling time.
So what else is there to do but drink coffee..have a cold one..pm the tractor & equipment...oh yeah forgot to mention stay out of the way because someone still having a bad hair day. /w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif

Yep TBN a great cure for the winter blues.

Another early morning oil change flat on my back under the little Kubota, laying on cold concrete with an air temp of minus ten. The puppy being "helpful" by retrieving frozen turds and dropping them next to my head! /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif If someone ever invents a tractor that can change its own oil I don't care WHAT COLOR it is, I'll buy one!

In the meanwhile, I'm sure enjoying that new Kubota L3010...as well as reading all posts regardless of color!

Boondox,

Hey at least they were frozen /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif!! I think <font color=blue>New Holland</font color=blue> is working on the self changing oil thing /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif! Hey I think JC Ghipme has one of those oil changers that you stick down the dip stick tube and just draw it out. Shouldn't take more than 4 hrs judging the size of the dip stick tube! /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif

Boondox,
I was changing the oil today on one of our cars, but the temp. is about 40. My fingers don't work at -10!

Say, what made you go with the L3010 over the TC29 or 33 or JD4300? I think you had your tractor shipped from Carvers so it wasn't the local dealer who made the difference. Approx. how much was the shipping, if you don't mind my asking?
Also, if you already answered these questions somewhere else, could you direct me there? Thanks.

Boondox,

Geez that was funny. Nothing quite like the gifts that a pet brings you. Of course I have my own problems. My 1 year old basset hound is fixed but he dosen't seem to know it. If he had a motto I think it would be, "So many legs... so little time."

Peter, I have a rat terrier that's better than the "Adopt a Highway" program for gathering up all the trash from the borrow ditches and bringing it up in the yard. And he literally chews aluminum beer cans up into little pieces and darned if I can see how he can do that without cutting his mouth.

The NH wasn't an option because my nearest dealer is quite a ways off. The JD4300 was actually my favorite by a hair, mainly because of the fantastic visibility from the seat, and I really liked the dealer, but Carver's L3010 (gently used) with better implements and rear hydraulics was about $3600 less. Not sure about the shipping since it was a package deal.

Forty degrees! Wow! We'll see that about three months!

Not a good way to start the day by laying on a cement floor at -10,for we aren't getting younger Pete.

Looks like snowstorm tomorrow for your L3010,and how are those tire chains working out on the ice when plowing.

Thomas -- Those chains are magnificent! I've been getting in plenty of FEL practice moving my mountains of snow, and not once have I slipped. Speaking of FELs, I'm baffled by the results of the snowplowing pole. I can't understand how so many people can say that an FEL is better at plowing snow than a rear blade!!! I wonder how much snow those folks get every year..?
