This is what I have to drive by 3 to 5 times a week. I try turning my head but it's an effort. Knowing there may be one of the new B3300's in the flock even makes it harder. If there's not one, I'm certain he'll promise to get me one. I'm not trading this year, I'm not trading this year, I'm not trading this year!:)

You may just need to look around and see if there is a 12 step program in your area....LOL

John, the year is pretty young yet.

When you stop to get your new tractor, would you mind pricing the Ford with the cab for me?:D

What the heck, if you got the money why not. You only live once. There are a lot worse addictions. (I'm looking for a devil smile on the right but don't see one).

I have it from a VERY reliable source that there is a shiny new B3300 at the Southern Farm Show in Raleigh, NC today. So they're out there! No more rumours or speculation!

That's good to know. You reckon they would be willing to ship it to Ky. in an emergency? I hear it has a new bucket function that actually makes the bucket look like it is beckoning passers-by. It think it is called the "curl hither" function. Nobody could blame JOHNTHOMAS for not being able to resist that much temptation, could they?

Brady or Steve: Looks like he's calling your number.

Looks like BOTA heaven ;):D

I can sympathize, had to pick up some stuff at Davis Farm Supply today and for some reason they have more new tractors in stock than I have ever seen and a surprising number of good used ones. I don't know if I could stand to drive by there very often.

John, perhaps you will reconsider adding this to your posts as I suggested earlier:)

"I have a tractor disease. There is no cure. I'm not even dealing with the symptoms very well!"

I'm assuming you will add the 3300 to yours stable. You really need to stop trading and just start accumulating;)

I think I have this problem licked, whipped, defeated. I just rec'd all my contracts back from Kubota as PAID off in Dec 2009 on a Kubota I sold a couple of years ago :)) You know what I mean) and I have not stopped at Barlows to sign any more contracts to reinstitue another monthly payment to Kubota. I feel GOOOOOD!!! Course I'll be going by there in a couple of hours and I haven't stopped by to talk/visit with them all in a couple of months and I do miss talking to them and I do need to see if Steve has rented his rent house and Gary may have closed on his house and they may have added a new mechanic and the delivery man is a great guy to talk to and they may actually have a new B3300 and I could even see if Brady is going to do another European jaunt this year and I haven't seen if Steve has bought Velda a new vehicle and.......well, I just need to stop by Oh Yah! I need to see if the Canadian came by and picked up his tractor. I think after careful consideration that a stop at Barlows Kubota is warrented and justified.:D:):D It's just the Christian thing to do. I mean some of them could have been sick or anything and I haven't even shown any concern about it and I'm starting to feel really bad that I haven't stopped by and checked on them. I might better leave a little early today so I'll have time to stop by, sorry, I got to go guys I don't have time to write anymore!!!

I think this is more than an addiction... it is STALKING!

I know what you mean. Every time I drive by a tractor dealer, especially a Kubota dealer, I tell my wife, looking Honey, it's a sign...maybe from heaven. I think we need to stop.

GPintheMitten thats exactly how I got my BX24. The wife got tired of driving by the dealership to just look. She thought that all that driving and not watching the road was just "too dangerous" and combined with the gas to guys h there she finally gave in and we stopped and purchased. Now maybe its time to work on upgrading to a Bseries Maybe the 3300. I'll wait for Johnthomas's review when he buys his...LOL

Hey, that's where my BX2660 came from a couple months ago. But, I understand that they aren't born there...
