New B7800 on the way

[BigMike]

Just bought my first tractor; A Kubota B7800HSD w/ LA402 loader. I also purchased a BL4690B backhoe, a rear blade, and a posthole digger. The tractor with the FEL cost $15,900. The whole package cost $23,500. I can hardly wait to take delivery and put that baby to work.

Mike, Congratulations on your new tractor. Remember Pictures when you get it. I also read your other post about how you came to decide on the B7800. I liked your reasoning, probably because it so closely parallels where I have been heading for the last couple of weeks.

Have fun

Mike

B7800's must be a "Mike" thingy.

Good luck with it, send a pic. I have not seen to many B7800's with backhoes, so I'd really like to peek at yours.

I forgot to take a picture when I was in the dealership, which is Western Implement in Lubbock, TX. That is a 350 mile drive for me, so I will make sure to get a picture when I pick my tractor up...but that could be late next week. The dealer did not have the backhoe at the time, so I decided to wait until that arrived before taking delivery.

CONGRATS ON THE NEW TRACTOR /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif just wonder why u had to go 350 mile to buy one? best price? or closest dealer?

 

[BigMike]

Sort of both. Closest dealer because I travel to Lubbock a few times a year and best price by far. There are closer dealers in New Mexico, but because Texas has tax exemption for farm or ranch equipment that is a built in 5% discount. Sort of funny how distance in the West is not as big a deal as it is in the East. I have to travel 25 miles from my land just to get to a food store. 60 miles for a Wal-Mart. Bottom line, the 350 miles is worth the $2000 in savings.

Congrats on your new tractor. I'll be real surprised if you're not a real happy KUBOTACAMPER. My B7800 was delivered about a month ago and has fully lived up to expectations. ....soon the ground dries out a bit, I'm gonna take it tilling with the CCM that was just delivered on Friday. That should give me a chance to try the 3ph. So far, the BH hasn't been off.
