New 3940 is coming

[07 LMM LTZ]

I finely pulled the trigger and bought a 3940 HSTC with the loader and mower. I didn't want to take a chance on the new finace rate coming out on 7/1. The dealer told me it will take about 10 days to get it to me.

Hey John, the tractor just posted the 400 hour service notice. I have only had a couple problems with the mower. The rear center height adjustment wheel has bent just a little from all the bouncing around. I hate to say it but Kubota should have built it a little heavier. Ill post a photo of it. Another problem that I have had was that I burned a belt off, I think it was the second week of ownership. There is allot of horsepower for that size of deck.
It will mow thick bermuda grass that is half the height of the front tires with no problem. You almost have to mow with a faster tractor speed to keep the chute clear. the reason i burned the belt off was i ran over an old bois d誕rk fence post that was laying in the ditch that I was mowing, the tractor didn稚 even bog down, the post just wedged between the center blade and the mower deck itself. It didn稚 take long, not even a second and the belt was history. Luckily my local dealer had it in stock. The hydrostat noise in the cab was a little annoying at first, but I think I知 used to it now.
my weekly mowing schedule consists of our family tree farm that is about 15 acres currently planted, along with my yard (2 acres), my sisters yard (3 acres) and about 7 acres at our other farm. I used to mow it all with my b7100 with a 5' mmm, but now I can mow it all in a fraction of the time. This thing is a mowing beast. Kevin

here is a photo of the rear height wheel. And I forgot to mention the loader bucket would not dump all the way, for some reason the geometry was wrong from pivot pin, so I had to grind some metal off to make it work properly. The bucket actually wanted to stick in the dump position until I ground it down a bit.
