Grading My new L3940 with front blade

[xmoto]

Very nice tractor. I like the front blade.

I'm just curious what you"re using to cut grass with?

I have moved this Woods RD7200 from the old 8N to my L3940. I bought the L3940 instead of more powerful model because the L3940 is the largest tractor you can install a 72" mid mount mower on. I may want to switch to a mmm some day. For loader work, a L4240 would have been a better choice with it's heavier front axle. Philip.

Phillip,

nice looking tractors, I like the front blade. I couldn't give up use of my FEL though but wish I had some sort of front blade/plow for occasional use. I also see you armoralled the tires. You should have entered that in a recent thread called "do you wax". have to admit though I have done mine from time to time also. Seems like it seals the rubber and the muck I get into cleans off a l lot easier.

Finally got my L3940 all pimped out and ready for winter. Have owned it for 6 weeks now. It is a HST model with the beefier R3 tires, quick hitch, and 84" front snow blade. Also mounted is an 84" Land Pride rear blade that was used on my 1950 8N, which I still have. I also added work lights front and rear, and a 7 way RV plug. After various chores with the L3940, bush hogging, mowing, and others, I am spoiled with it's capabilities.

Great looking tractor!! How about a pictures of the work lights front and rear!
I would be interested in seeing them close up. I can't quite make them out from the attached pictures. Love those slicked up tires!

Philip ... What do you mean by "beefier" R3 tires?

My dealer sort of warned against R3 tires with a FEL, like they're a little thinner & maybe somewhat more likely to get a hole punched in them when you're getting into branches or stumps I guess.

Any other opinions on that?

Since I got tractor I have purchased LA724 FEL. No issues here. Are they thinner in the tread? Probably, but I am not working at a construction site. Kubota has 3 options of R3 tires. 1st set is junk tread pattern in my opinion. 3rd set is galaxy, for golf course mowing. 2nd set is what I have. If you look in the Kubota Grand L series brochure, this is all they show. They have a very deep tread pattern, and do great in snow. Fronts are 29x12.50-15. Rears are 44x18.00-20. Philip.

I got my GL4630gstc with FEL and front mount blower. Used for 32 winters and last year got front mount blade to switch out blower when not moving banks or deep snow. It is saving me lots of time and fuel compared to blower on 2 miles of road.

Philip, can you mount the loader with the subframe on and the plow off?
