L3430 Purchase

[Anonymous Poster]

Thank you to everyone for the advise. I purchased the following today:
L3430 HST R4's with 723 Loader
Kubota BH-90 Hoe
Landpride 60" brush cutter
Landpride 2064 Tiller
Landpride 60" boxscraper
Rankin posthole digger/auger

Given the dilemma over mowing the finish lawn with a large tractor, I finally broke down and also purchased the Kubota 21 hp diesel mower with 48" deck and rear discharge to a 14 bushel hydralic operated grass bag. My dealer who I have been impressed with will deliver it to me hopefully this weekend or early next week. The dealer even threw in a shop manual, filled my tires, drawbar clevis and will add chain hooks with without charge. Cant wait!! Even my wife is happy for me which made this purchase even easier. I think she felt sorry for me when it took 7 hours to mow the lawn with the rider I currently have. Thanks again everyone for your information and assistance.

I had to go with a King Canopy for the time being - we call it a Bota Hut! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Curious why you didn't go with a wider box blade?

We need a little drooling funny face to express my feelings about that package. That sounds great!! One question, will the 60" box blade cover the rear tire tracks? Is that important for your needs?

Congratulations,

Good point! I am going over to my dealer in the morning to pick up manuals and such. I will ask him. I will go wider if it doesnt cover the rear wheels. thanks for bringing that to my attention. It is still early enough to have him change the box scraper.

I called my dealer and before I could ask him about the boxscraper, he told me that he noticed the same issue and put a larger box on without extra cost to me. Thanks everyone for helping me out with that!

You've got a great setup. I think your really going to like it. It takes a little tiime to get familiar with the workings. The great part is it's a considerable amount of fun learning it. I was at my local JD/Kubota dealer yesterday and we were discussing this issue. He mentioned the 5 minute test drive is a tough way to understand just how great this tractor is.
