She's happy in her new habitat....

...took delivery of a 4041 today. She really looks happy right now, doesn't she?


Upgrading from a Yanmar 2210 - our "Bonzai" - we call the LS our "Blue Whale" because of the shear size of it. Let the projects begin! We made plans for Saturday and I hope it rains so we can test the 4x4!

Sweet looking ride you have there. Gee, seems like everyone's tractor is bigger than mine. Oh well, probably a good thing as I'm pretty sure I would have mucked something up fairly bad if I'd have been on a more "substantial" machine with all the bonehead mistakes I have made with mine. Kudos to you!

Congrats on the new tractor! I'm sure you'll enjoy yours as much as I am mine. Managed to log a couple hrs on the 4th, and can't wait for the weekend to get here!

Been there - done that! I had a Yanmar 2210, 2WD, and got stuck multiple times. My wife called the Yanmar "his little weeny", and she constantly made fun of me when I got stuck. She said from the beginning to get a bigger tractor but as a good husband I did not listen and wanted to save some money. Now we sold the Yanmar and got this one. I tried to go for the '39 but my wife insisted on the '41. This time I listened....

I had 5 hours of seat time today and I am absolutely impressed. Mowed the front and back and in the swampy area towards the bayou. I did not even had to use the 4x4. These wide tires make all the difference in the world.

DOUBLE HAPPY!

Congrats on your new tractor. I'm sure you will be looking for projects to get some seat time.
I sure hope your memory is better than mine. Everytime I carry something (chainsaw in photo)in the FEL bucket, I forget it is there and start using the FEL to move dirt or something and end up mixing the load with what I had in the bucket and dumping the whole thing out somewhere. Luckily I havent had to put anything in it like a chainsaw mostly chains and rocks that I had to pick up again. Always found the chain when I left it there also.
Just putting a word of caution to you. Enjoy your new ride.
Since I got my Kubota B26 TLB, I am afraid my LS P7010 is doing a lot of sitting in the shed. BIG has disadvantages in lots of instances. I can turn it around inside the turning radius of the 7010 and the hydrostatic is great for FEL work especially now that my arthritic knees are feeling the pain.

Tractor was working hard to get the stumps on the burn pile and then I cut some more wood. Notice that I have finally my garage up! The whole thing is finally coming together.
