First post. With my first post I just wanted to say hello to you guys and gals, I have been reading for a while but never posted. Even thought I haven't posted I have learned a few cool things, so Thanks /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Now onto the best part, I put a down payment on a Kubota 4330 hst with FEL. The dealer said I should get it around the end of the week. The new tractor will be replacing a Farm Pro 2425 with a FEL. Do you guys think I will miss my Farm Pro? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif if so it's to late now

Congratulations on the 4330 order! I am needing to move up to something larger. I am looking at all the Grand L tractors from 3830 up to the 5030.
What part of Missouri? I am about 25 miles Southwest of Springfield and 35 miles Northwest of Branson.
Enjoy that TOY! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Terry I am just out side of Sullivan, I looked at the 5030 but for the extra money I didn't think it was worth the extra cash.

I am just praying that I don't have as much trouble as I had with the Farm Pro. I spent well over a thousand dollars in repairs in the last 100 hr of use. With tons of trouble with it.

Love my 4330! Had it for over 2 yrs, about 170 hrs and zero trouble so far (except for a balky FEL float detent that has been documented often on TBN). It was a simple fix. I predict you'll love the 4330 and not miss your FarmPro.

Monday (yesterday) the dealer said my tractor was done but they didn't have anyone able to deliver it till Tuesday. Because I have to work today I went and picked it up. Any way I had 3 hooks welded on the bucket that was going to cost me $60 dollars but because I picked it up they ate the cost of the hooks. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif First off man is this thing heavy I didn't think it would be that much heavier then my old tractor. Not only is it heavier it's much bigger is size. It didn't seem that big walking around it in the parking lot until I loaded it on the trailer. When I got home I drove around the back yard last night and pushed on a pile of dirt just to see how much power it would put down in medium and low range. I didn't push it real hard because it only had .9 hr on the clock but WOW does this thing have a ton of power. It moved my hole pile of dirt that would have just laughed and my old tractor.

Tomorrow I have a co-workers back yard that we are going to work on, should be a good way to break it in.

As a side note I pushed the clutch in twice last night to bring it to a stop instead of lifting my right foot. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif One more habit that will have to change. also the FEL feels slow compaired to the Koyker 160 that was on my little Farm Pro.
I will have more after running it all day tomorrow
