Well said, tree guy. Everyone gets more than enough reasons to go around kicking himself. No need to create another.

Man, am I going to get slammed - oh well, nice knowing y'all /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
Well, I think I said the same thing. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif Just didn't use as many words. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Rodger -

Thanks for pointing out a politically incorrect statement which I now regret having made.

To all:

I'm deeply sorry if I offended any particular ethnic group with that comment, particularly any Italian-Americans who might have read my ill-considered remarks. I have always admired people of Italian descent and count many of them among my very good friends. I also would like to say that I firmly believe that the consumption of grains and legumes is a sound part of a healthy diet.

I regret implying that eating those foods constituted some sort of hardship on my part, and will say that for the first one thousand times I thoroughly enjoyed them.

Sincerely,

John D. DeHuff

And Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Ron - Yes, you were MUCH more succinct in your remarks - I'll have to study your posts carefully for tips on how I can "tighten up" my posts a little. As my Mom would say, I "must have been vaccinated with a phonograph needle". /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Wishful thinking on your part my friend! I'm afraid you're all going to have to put up with me for a while yet. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Oops, one more thing - I finally figured out how to reference a post - duh, a URL is a URL /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif Here it is: B3030 vs. B7800

In re-reading it, I realize that Bird had already pointed out the 2600/2900 rpm thing - sorry to take credit where it wasn't due /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Being a quarter Italian I was personally offended that you would mix beans with pasta and ruin the pasta. However, I believe you may have also offended some Cajuns with including pasta with their beans. What a mess you've created!!! /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif Don't touch potatoes, because I'm Scottish or Irish too.

Now I'm off to eat some turkey and spend some more time dwelling on what tractor to get.

Darrell -

I would like to assure you that the pasta and beans were consumed in different sittings - even a simple tree guy such as myself would never commit such a faux pas. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Enjoy your holiday, and try not to stress too hard about the tractor, things have a way of working out.

The B7800 looks like the favorable one. The extra HP will be used when moving rocks and clearing trees through those rolling hills. The HP for the B7800 is actually 30 HP @ 2600. There is a misprint on that and other typos in the specification sheet on Kubota’s site. The B2410 would still work with smaller bites.

Just make sure not to overlook PTO HP also. Kubotas give up *lots* of HP to the hydro-trans. B7800 PTO hp is 22 and B3030 is 23.

Ha! Same thing here, but extend that beyond just the tractor to "house/land, horses and trucks", and at our house it's mac & cheese and hot dogs. (i'm Irish, German and Austrian/Hungarian, so not sure who I'll be offending, or maybe I should be offended. If I'm supposed to be offended someone please let me know! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif)
