Kub L3430- New tractor buyer

[tinytractors]

Grant... Mine has two remotes, normally for the top and tilt cylinders. (T/T is important).
I run a used 6'Gannon boxscraper on the back most of the time and also have a 6 'BushHog 70-06 back blade with hydraulic offset/angle running off the top link remote. The normal recommendation is a 7' backblade, but the 6' is handier in the tight woods here. Being able to offset makes a big difference too. I run a 5' Bush Hog Razorback cutter (left over from a smaller Kubota) and it would have no problem with a 6'. The quick attach on the FEL is absolutly a must. I have a set of 48" pallet forks for it that I use more than the 6' bucket. I recently bought a toothbar from Markham also their 3pt adapter for the QA... this lets me use a 6'york rake, boom pole, a small 4' boxscraper, and a 30" pond scoop on the FEL. Haven't gotten a chance to run my back blade there yet, but I don't anticipate any problems (just longer hoses)... the 723 loader is awesome. A third remote would be handy and I plan on getting it later ($450 from Kubota).

Hope this helps
Pete.

Grant... Added info.... HST and unloaded R-1 tires. I plan on foaming them later, probably after I get my first flat from the thorns around here. I went with R-1's due to the wet hillsides (they don't side slip as easy) and need the extra traction in the woods.

Pete...this helps me a lot in trying to figure out how best to equip the new tractor. Some stuff I will be able to wait on since this is a lot of money upfront. I know I'll add more stuff later.....man this could get to be a never ending process!!!

This tractor thing... It's a lot CHEAPER than therapy sessions.

I started years ago with an 8N, my bushog, and a boxscraper. Things just seemed to follow me home after that (camel's nose).
