Clementine has muscles!

<font color=blue>Last I heard, there was an enormous pit outside the shop and the septic people hadn't shown up yet. Now I'm worried about being able to get my tractor out of the shop when I come up.</font color=blue>/w3tcompact/icons/tongue.gif

Sounds like a good chance to get some FEL time if you can get out of the shop./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Frank,
Different Bota's for different situations. I feel that the work Pete was doing are things that I will be doing and it's nice to hear that the L3010 was doing the work with flying colors. On TBN it seems like there are 2 large mind sets... B series owners and L series. The L series seem to be at the 40 HP or better range. I'm glad Jezebel has friends on TBN

Really? /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif

Seems to me that most are in the 30+ HP range. My little 2500 is only 27 HP and your 3010 monster is around 32 (gross). You gotta get up to the 4310 or better to cross that 40 HP mark. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

Harv,
It just seems that most of the subscribers of TBN have B series or the larger L series. I'm glad to hear that there are more of us middle men out there. Thanks

Jason,

I think I agree with Harv on this one. There area lot of B series, and most of the L series that I notice are in the 32 +/- 5 (or so) area. Oh there's plenty of the bigger (and looks like there will be lots of the smaller now that the BX is getting so popular)./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif I think this has something to do with the size of the pocketbook it takes to deal with the bigger machines (and who actually needs that much power)./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

GlueGuy,
I guess I was mislead. Reading the articles that I have read it just seems like more posts concern the B series and larger L series than the 3010, 3410, etc. I'm somewhat new to TBN so I apologize. The comments that I have recieved from everyone really helped me with pricing, impliments, and what I needed to have for the size of tractor in relation to the work I am doing.
Thanks,
Jason

Probably human nature to focus on similar tractors...sort of like travelling across the country and your eyes are drawn to license plates from home. That said, I've noticed enough posts about the big boys (3710 and up) to begin thinking that Clementine was the poor cousin! /w3tcompact/icons/blush.gif

I'm still astounded at the power of this girl! Yesterday, just for fun, we ripped out a huge swath of overgrown brush that was in the way of our upcoming work on the septic tank. Can't remember how many times I've attacked those bushes with the Husky chainsaw only to have them back in a season! Now there's only bare earth with the chickens having a grand time going after the bugs!

Clementine had 170 hours on her when she came to Vermont. Steve Carver was kind enough to perform all service thru 300 hours, so I've yet to do anything to her.

Clementine tells me she's been dreaming of roaring down I-89 at 0.10mph side by side with Jezebel during fall foliage...frustrating hordes of leaf peepers!

Boondox,
There's nothing wrong with frustrating/scaring leaf peepers. I did that without Jezebel. Only now they might take me seriously. See you there!
