New Member - New Tractor

[TheParkers]

My wife and I are both new members of TBN and new owners of a compact tractor.

This whole thing started about 3 months ago when I stopped to get a quote on a used B2910 at a local dealer. Saturday I took delivery of a brand spanking new Kubota L3410. How did idle curiosity about the cost of compact tractors culminate in the substantial investment listed below? Three months of reading the suggestions, cooperation, and enthusiasm emanating from the members of TBN is how. I felt, after purchasing & reading Muhammad’s book and after reading most of the threads in TBN, that I could make an educated decision on what size tractor I should buy and with what options. But, more importantly, I felt that after I took delivery and got a few hours in the seat, there is a group of people I could comfortably go to for suggestions and help.
I thank all of you for your help.

Our new tractor:

L3410 HST
Folding ROPS
R4 w/ Ballast
LA482 FEL w/ Joystick Control Valve
66” Bucket with Tooth Bar
2 additional Kubota hydraulic RCV’s installed
Kubota Top & Tilt kit installed
Woods BB60 Rotary Cutter w/ Slip Clutch and Chains
Land Pride BB25-72 Box Blade
Kubota L3410 Workshop Manual
Delivered, fueled, and ready for work.

I got about 2.5 hours in it Saturday and am very pleased with every aspect so far.

That's fantastic, Dana! The 3410 is a sweet machine, and you got it outfitted real good.

We'll be looking forward to hearing about your exploits with it on your new property.

I just hope the tractor winds up sharing better than a bathroom does. /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Welcome to the forum; sounds like a great package. Don't forget to get the Illustrated Parts List to go with that workshop manual.

Welcome to the group! I'm sure that like me, everyone is envious of your new machine. We all love our tractors but there's nothing like the joy of taking delivery. I'm sure you'll be finding plenty of excuses to get some seat time this weekend. Best of luck!!!!!!

Brenda& Dana, welecome to TBN glad to see you took the big step. I wish you many happy seat hours and hope to hear from you as you gain experience

 

[TheParkers]

Still haven't had much chance to get much seat time yet - hope to soon. Here's a picture, fresh off the truck (not so clean anymore).

Is that a tractor your sitting on ?
I can't see anything past the grin on your face.
Nice looking machine, congratulations and welcome to the TBN.
Enjoy and play safe.

Looking good, Dana!

Only thing missing is some good old-fashioned dirt on that thing. /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif You've definitely got some good times ahead of you.

Do my ears (eyes) deceive me???? Not much seat time yet???? Come on Dana, that's a brandy new tractor there! It's one thing being busy earning a living but where have you been sleeping?!/w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

Way too shiny. Like all new equipment, you need to get it dirty real quick !!!

Then when it gets dirty, you need to wash it.

Then get it dirty...........


Very cool indeed but I have to stop looking at all these new tractor pics.

Makes my old clunker look pretty [censored] unexciting !!!

 

[Thomas]

Welcome to TBN.
If the tractor and attachments don't have marking from use or never gotten stuck,than your not really tractoring. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif
Nice looking setup.

 

[Joeinindy]

I'm sure you are going to be very pleased with the L3410, I have the same unit with 50 hours on it now, and have been grinning since I took delivery a year ago.
