Let's start digging!!!!

[noller9]

New member noller9 here. I was on this website incessantly while searching for that great deal on a tractor to meet my farming needs. I narrowed it down to and purchased a new L3200 Kubota that should be delivered this week. I chose the L3200 for its overall value and expected capabilities. I do everything from excavating foundations, building walls, drainage, soil transfer, farming, orchard site development and the list goes on. Did not want to continue renting and took the tractor plunge!!!!

G'day and welcome to TBN from Downunder.

Enjoy the site and your new rig.

What implements did you get?

 

[noller9]

loader backhoe and the mechanical thumb. I can't wait to load logs with the thumb! We heat with cordwood and our farm was clearcut before we bought it so I will be busy!

I really wanted the Ck35 kioti TLB. it was a very impressive machine. The dealer had no room to budge in price so he was over 5000$ more than the Kubota L3200. I hope I find the L3200 to be a strong digger. How does your FEL dig? Loyalhanna PA is all hill and to level it out takes a good CUT.

Congratulations regarding the new tractor. Welcome aboard.

...How does your FEL dig...

An "FEL" is a "loader" not a digger..!...that said a tooth bar will help a good bit but digging is not what "front end loaders are meant for...

..some folks see a (loader) bucket on a tractor and think it's a bulldozer...!

 

[Wagtail]

/pine is correct. There is a current thread going on about a toothbar attachment but I'd recommend that for surface break-up, then scoop with the bucket. You've got a better digger with the backhoe.

That being said, I have a 655 tiller that I use to break-up ground that I want to dig, then I scoop with my 4in1 bucket.

Been using them my whole life that way. Once you get it started no problem. I ran crawlers through the 70'sand 80's from 350 case all the way up to 983 Cat. Ya just have to work it! I used to use my brothers Massey FEL that way w/only 17 horses. My neighbor digs with a NH45 all day long, never uses the hoe for anything but ballast.

So when I ask how your FEL digs I mean Your FEL!!!!! LOL I hope you get it!
