CFO Says it\'s a 3130 !

Got what I think is a good price on a B2910 and an L3130 . Took the better half down to look and sit on both machines .
I'd have sworn she'd have liked the 2910 better . She's about 4'11" standind as straight as she can ! . She looks over both machines and says" in a year or two You'll be looking a something bigger than this ( meaning the 2910 ). Naturally I push my luck and turn to look at the 3430 behind me . Well after being married for 25+ years , I can <font color="red"> </font> FEEL the stare . So , I just turn around and ask her if she really likes the 3130 /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
So, it looks like that's that!
Now for the hard part . Signing on the Dotted line , Waiting for it to come in , and finding a wife proof ignition key .
This has been quite a jouirney! the good thing is I expect the best part of it is yet to come . John

Interesting thing about wives, they're generally smarter than we give them credit for! That and the fact that they think tractors are sexy! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I love my L3130 (and my wife too) - I'm sure you'll love yours as well!

Frank,

Funny thing with my dealer...can't remember the first time, probably the same... But I did not sign anything at all except for a credit application...signed all the papers after the BX2200 was sitting on the ground in my driveway.

I guess that is the way this dealer does business...

My wife and I have been married 17 years now(exactly 1/2 as many years as my boss) and she said nearly the exact same thing.

The owner of the company where I bought my L3010 said the same thing as well.

Bottom line is I think it is better on my bottom...!

Meaning the bigger series is more confortable...

Re: CFO Says it\'s a 3130 !

well, the deal's as good as done . Provided I can get my schedule aligned with the dealers . We're both running about like scalded Cats these days .
Also if I might ask one question .... What is the tire size for the R4's ? My dealer says that tire chains are not needed, But He won't be on it when it starts to slide . So I'm going to order a set of Dual grips (sp / ) online . I just need to know what size to order for the R4's .
Thanks , John.
Btw How many hours do I have to get on my machine before I get to learn the Secret Hand shake ?? /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Re: CFO Says it\'s a 3130 !

My wife always says "get what you need" so, I bought a 5030. We had a 3710 and it was big enough for about 85% of what we do around here (haying), but when I needed a bigger tractor, I had to use one of our really big Deeres (uch!!). When the new L series came out I was contemplating a NH Boomer, the biggest one, I think 45 horse?. My problem was that after the 3710, I said that any new tractor I bought would have a cab/air/stereo and a cushy seat as well as being light weight and agile (which the Deeres aren't). I waited almost a year for NH to put a cab on their big Boomer. Kubota beat them to the punch and due to the fact that I have had 3 other kubota's, I went right down and bought one. I think if I read the serial number right, I have the 28th 5030HSTC made. My only complaint on the 5030 is that it's naturally aspirated. I just love turbocharger whine!!
