Re: It\'s Here!!!!

Congratulations Jim! SWEEEEET! I'm sure many of us are curious about the L39's performance and would appreciate it if you share your experience with it vs your L3830. You certainly cannot bore us with details so please share info on the FEL, visibility, ease of use, etc. I am also curious about the BH and whether it's as easy to take on/off as the BH90 and how the L39 matches up with your 3ph attachments. Also, what was the driving force behind your decision to go L39 vs sticking with L3830 or moving up to a bigger grand L 4 or 5. Thanks Jim and best regards.

Jim, that is a nice looking machine! I notice you also have listed a L3830. Did you trade it for the L39? Congrats on the new purchase.

I was so proud of mine (**see photo) but now, I'm jealous of yours. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Keep on having fun...

Re: It\'s Here!!!!

I did exactly the same thing with my BX23. The very same day I received it I got stuck half wheels in mud.

When guys tell me: You can't get stuck with a 4WD TLB... I tell them in return: bring me yours I'll show you how to do it. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

So after that very bad day I learned my first lesson: know the limit of your machine.

Very nice rig. Have fun and don't forget to share some pics with us. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Re: It\'s Here!!!!

Jim, great shot of your machine up on all 3's. And a great story on getting it stuck and finally getting it out. I am sure your were sweating bullets wondering if your were going to get it out without some big time help.

Jim,
so this is what it means to have a problem with your float /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
Amazing how a person can break into a sweat on a relatively cold day.
Very nice looking machine, even dirty /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
I especially like the shape of the hoe, very modern.
Good choice.
Best of luck with her.

LOL /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Nothing like like a good bath in some thick mud soup to start the life of your L-39!!!! /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif I'll have to admit that the IND tires are no where near the traction of the AG's when you need lots of traction.

Come on Jim, you getting way behind, I just did the 50 hour service on ours this weekend and still managed to pull out four more stumps and move 25 cubic yards of limerock onto the driveway where we had a big washout. Saturday night my wife said that I smelled like "weird diesel", she didn't know I had been sprayed with a couple of gallons of Kubota Super UDT cologne..... /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

After 50 hours I can tell you this:

IT ONLY GETS BETTER

And it's getting beter all the time /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
