Tractor News New L3200 and BH77 Arrived Today

[herefromthere]

After lots of research, hemming and hawing, and a little bit of second guessing, the new tractor arrived this morning. We're getting the monsoon treatment right now, so it needs to dry out a little before putting it to work, but I'm excited.

Ended up going with the L3200 HST 4x4 with loaded R4's, 66" SSQA round back bucket with bolt-on edge, welded chain hooks on bucket and backhoe, bucket level indicator, rear work light, telescoping 3-point adjusters (not here yet), and the BH77 backhoe with mechanical thumb. I'm still waiting on the 72" Land Pride box scraper. Before taking delivery, I picked up an old golf cart canopy for free on Craigslist to use as a sun/rain shade. The top of it is visible in the last picture, and somehow it got nailed with a little bit of black spray paint. I'll either clean that off or go find some orange to cover it. I'll also have to figure out a way to put together some sort of mounting frame/hardware for that, but it will be worth it.

Ok, I'll quit yammering and get to the part that's relevant to everyone...pictures!

That is a sweet machine. I just got the same rig last week. Well, almost, the B version. The BH is awesome. Had some minor hydronic leaks with the BH, but they sent someone out Wednesday. Guess it's common on new machines. So they say. I'll be picking up the 63" snowblower in October.

Have fun with it. Keep us posted.

Congratulations!!! Awesome looking set up. Can I ask what tractor that bucket is normally spec'ed for? Do you know the weight difference over the standard quick attach 66" bucket for the L3200/ 3800? Thanks for any info you can share. I am finalizing my deal early next week and really like the looks of your bucket. Is it working well for you so far?
