How did I do?

[Learning to Farm]

So about as smart as closing the barn door after the cow got out. I was wondering if I did ok.

I bought a 3750 (not sure of year but they were built 1984-1990) with FEL, has a soft side cab (sans sides) and one set rear ports, 2100 on the dial. Needs new tires (can use immediately but need replaced with in the year IMO ). Includes delivery 1.5hrs (around Baltimore). Paid $7,250.

Can't add photo on mobile, will try later today.

I test drove it and everything worked as it should.

Seems like a lot of tractor for the money. 2 or 4 WD?
Our G5200 is from that same production period and is a really well made machine.
At a little under $2/pound, I think you got the blue light special.
So what jobs are you going to do with this new addition to the family?
More important question - have you picked out a name, yet?

Jim,
Sorry for the slow response, she was just dropped off yesterday. Gave husband an "Intro to Tractors:101" lesson and then did a small test mow. The "guy" I bought it from "found" me a 6' Brush Hog Finish Mower that we added to the sale. I found the mower was 1/2 the price what the exact same model was listed, so I said "Sure, I take it!"

She is a 4 WD.
She is going to: mow,turn the manure pile, spread composted manure, spread commerical fertlizer/lime, put out round bales (bought a 3pt bale spear months ago), drag the fields and ring... and that is just what I know off the top of my head. Hopefully she will be able to handle the small county no-till drill for pasture renivations.
Her name is Tank. I keep telling people "She is pettie and delicate, we are going to call her Tank."

My 3.5 yr old is already asking when he can drive her. But, I wisphered to my 7 week old daughter she is a girls tractor. :laughing:

Now to update my signature, I will be sad to see the old list leave, but those were ones I used at the old farm where I just did work. Here is to starting my list of my equipment:drink:!

We are waiting for some GOOD pictures.

Basically ya did good.

Before I bought my M4700 there was a guy selling two 3750's that had been used by the city of Alexandria and each had several thousand hours. Both had the insides of the tires showing and had been rode hard and put up wet. Almost bought them because they were very restorable and a very good tractor.

Now where are the pics ?
