2008 Kubota L3400
I had my new to me (2008 with 65 hours) Kubota L3400 delivered to my 40 acres on the 10th. I had a great 12 days getting it broken in. I had to pull out trees, knock down trees, and use my back scraper to make a drive about 1/4 mile long. I'm impressed.
I got a lot of hints beforehand about pulling out trees from reading on the forum here. On the next to the last day I thought it would be a good idea to show my wife how to drive it in case something happened. Well I got delegated to the chainsaw for the rest of the day, as she didn't want to give it up. Go figure. I hope it wears off or I'm going to have to get me another one!

Just get another! She looks too happy to take her off of it.:thumbsup:

What a rookie mistake!?!?! You should have put the range selector in Neutral and messed up some of the safety switches... or installed a remote cut off. That way you can tell her it's your turn!!!

Yeah, a rookie mistake for sure. But I'm learning.

If she is happy then she will be more apt to let you buys lots of attachments.

Boy, you guys that have your wife drive your tractors sure have guts. There's no way I'd let my wife drive my machine - way too many buttons and levers to contend with. She'd knock the house down by accident for sure. Letting my teen kids operate it would be almost as crazy.

Nice looking machine, BTW. I wish mine was that shiny.
