got my b3200.

[NH-Rob]

Well as you might already know I sold my b7510 in hopes of buying a b3200 and it became a reality on Monday. I went with out a tractor for a week and had to mow the lawn with my sons John deere 170 lawn tractor. Great deal I used it one week and had to loan him a battery, buy a mower belt and buy a iner tube for the rear tire. It was worth it though because it really made me appreciate mowing with a real tractor. I was missing the b7510 real bad when mowing with the john deere but when I mowed with the b3200 today I was in heaven it even made the 7510 look bad. What a great mowing machine this thing is going to be. I did not have any trouble with the r4s digging up the lawn.
Here is a few pictures of me mowing.

I have not used the loader much yet but It does lift much higher than the 7510. The 60" bucket seems huge and will take some getting used to.
I snaped a couple pictures while it was in the garage. Don't pay much attention to the mess we hope to do a dump run soon. I don't know if you can tell but in the third picture I already rubbed a tree branch across the hood and gave it a light scratch. I am sure it would buff out but hey its a tractor.

That's a beautiful machine! Congratulations...

Your dealings with your son gave me a laugh.. Reminds me of whenever I borrow something from mine!!

Hey, that's what Dads are for... Right??

Nice pics!

DId you put the hook on the bucket yourself? If so was it just a weld on or did you add angle iron. Did your b3200 come with quick release bucket?

How is the vibration on yours without the loader or any rear attatchments?

Congrats Rob!

You will appreciate it even more every time you use it. Its too bad you have all that grass to cut. Looks like you are going to be spending lots of time in the seat....gee, that is too bad ;-))

I'm glad to hear the R4s don't dig up the lawn -- just bought a B7610 w/ R4's on it (my B7100 has turfs).

I have not used the loader much yet but It does lift much higher than the 7510.

My one complaint about the LA352 on my B7610 is that its lift height is a full 13" LOWER than the Woods DuAl 145 on my B7100.

The dealer welded on my hook and it looks to be stout enough. I did get the quick hitch but it was out of stock and will not recieve it until the start of July. I do feel some vibration, I would say more than the 7510 but I did not run it a full throtle either. The vibration is not enough to concern me.

Blacktan,
Kids are great. My son is only 15 and I can't imagine what I will end up doing for him when he gets to be my age.

Welcome to the B3200 family. I enjoy using mine. I've already damaged mine. Pushed a tree root and bent the wire mesh grill some. Just part of using it.
