Congrats Pete!!!

I only hope you love yours as much as I love mine! (not exactly true...I have other hopes besides world peace...like getting 3pt hydraulics on MINE!) :)

How you doing, Steve? Your love affair with your tractor is one of the reasons I checked out the line in the first place. The only thing I don't like about all this is the weather isn't cooperating! If it comes this week, it'll arrive with no chains in the middle of either rain or wet, sloppy snow. But I'm already having trouble sleeping cuz I want it here NOW! If I have to wait another week I'll be a wreck!

Buying a tractor can be tough, I had it pretty easy as neither JD or NH makes a match to the BX2200 or the L35 (yet!). I found features in blue and green very inviting though, if I had been looking for a L3710 L4310 or a B2410, it would have been a tough call. I'm still happy to be orange, because my garden tractor is green and my other tractor (1710) is blue. Fortunately this forum has a nice bunch of "mixed" color folks. The recent long treat on TBN civility sums it all up. Some car club people spend more time arguing then enjoying their old cars. I always check ALL the forums, too many tips from those green and blue guys to let pass! I guess with all three in my shed I must be brown? or how about rainbow?

Dig on!

Bummer! I guess you'll just have to settle for Mark C.'s heated cub holder/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Pete -

I'm still catching up on messages (it almost doesn't pay to go away for the weekend), but I finally caught up to you.

Congratulations! Not only did you stay orange, but you're getting the tractor I wanted! Actually, our tractors are just about identical, except that yours will have HST, more horsepower, more weight, mid PTO, more room, more comfort, more lights and more hydraulics.

Kinda hard to tell them apart, really. /w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif

You're in for some mighty pleasurable tractorin'. I hope we get to see some pictures.

Oh, yeah -- and your spelling and punctuation are perfect. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

HARV, the tractors are almost the same?

Reminds me of truck shopping for a shortbox reg cab 4WD pickup for my daughter.

Salesman:

"We've got just want you want!..."

Uh huh, except it's a 2WD, diesel, 4door, dual rear wheels!!!

Pete,

Congrats! The L3010 is a fine machine... how about some details on the rear blade setup? Costs with the added hydraulics?

Enjoy it!

Well, I haven't actually seen it yet, but the general idea is you install a cylinder on the heavy-duty LandPride 3572 blade (it angles and tilts) and control the side to side movement from the seat. When it arrives I'll post some pics.

As for the cost, you're asking the wrong person. Part of doing business with Mr Carver is not disclosing prices. Even if I felt that practice was 100% marketing hype, I gave my word...

So ask Steve, okay?

Is it a factory angle blade or customized, or do you know? Either way, that should be a nice attachment...

Factory angle, but modified with the addition of the cylinder.
