It will be here in 3 or 4 weeks, and I'll be "going to school" /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif I'm more excited about this tractor, my very first, that I was about my first Harley and my first girlfriend!!!
Is it possible to be in love with an inanimate object? /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif Tony

Researching the pricing here in New England and this sounds like the steal of the century..

It would be stealing if I got it in New England /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Tony,

Good for you, you hit the mother load.

Sounds like a good deal. I think you found that if you were thinking of getting this or that accessory, now is the time- you generally get a better buy with the tractor.

Good auger head. Good 4in1 and good remote choices.. ****, it's all good.

Did you get a trailer for it? I have been sniffing around for a better one for my rigg. No hurry.

You went out of state? Must have been a big savings? 3to5 k? on the package.

I just got done digging the largest stump I ever have. It was a tripple maple-16/10/12 inch. It weighed in over 2500lbs stripped down of dirt. I could not lift it with my loader. It took abour 22min. to digg and roll it out of the hole. Not too bad for such a large stump. A normal time is about 5 min. for a 10 to 12 inch maple.

Hope you have a s much luck and good fortune as I have with your new Kubota.

Gray.

Is this going to be a fair weather machine? You forgot the snow plow... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif Good luck with the new machine. I am envious.. want to trade for a BX? Seriously if you are in need of a snow plow, send me a PM. I have 3 new 7 1/2 footers available for cheap money.. Junk

Congratulations! That is one heck of a setup! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Remember to dig up some photos when you get it! /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Gray, thanks...Yes, I bought the trailer just recently down in Palmer CT, it's a Contrail Towmaster, 13,460 G.V.W.R. flatbed utility trailer with a beavertail...built like a tank! Got a great deal at Trailers of New England...Thank You Don Skarp

I sure did save some money on the whole L48 package, about 10 thousand total /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

I'd love to see photos of that stump, Gray, it'll give me an idea of what I can do when I learn how to use my machine...

Junkman, Oh yes, my baby will be out attacking the white stuff. I've been checking prices for Diamond DTE 7 1/2 footers in my area, and I'd love to talk to you about yours. I'll PM you.

Thanks JayC, I've gotta get a digital camera and then learn how to stuff pictures into the computer /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif, after which time I'll be saturating TBN with images of my new Sweetheart!

I couldn't have done it without you all, or at least I probably wouldn't have done it. Now you all have to teach me, via internet, and in person if I can kidnap you, how to use her. I have one diehard veteran resource from CT who is like having a PhD in tractors to teach me /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif Tony

Is that the out the door price????Does your state have sales tax??? I am being quoted $44,000 without anything but a soft cab and a radio, on the L48TLB-SG and the quick attach front amd rear and rear tire fluid. What does the Top and tilt hydraulics kit and the Top and tilt cyclinders do?????

Did you pay the amount they first quoted or were you able to
work the price down or just add equipment for the same price?
Anyone else on the east coast able to advise a price?? Please
advise????
