What to do?

[James]

JimBinMi,

Would you believe that I am the only one around for 20 miles that has a compact tractor. I have a lot of people stop and pull in my drive way and ask questions about the <font color=blue> blue boomer. <font color=black> I am always glad to give information, never test drives though. I think New Holland should give me a little kickback for helping to sell this tractor to potential custormers. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif I think Wen was right, I think she looked at the brochure, and you know how women are. If she can do it, I can do it too. /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif Hope she dosen't read this post. I am surely going to be sleeping with my <font color=blue> blue friend <font color=black>if I'm not careful. You know I just get to sit and watch when there is work to be done now. Hey, what am I complaing about? What a thoughtful woman. Honey, if you are reading these post, see I don't realy mind that you wont let me drive the tractor. Think that will help smooth things over boys? /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

P.S. I see how they all poke fun at the little TC18. I wonder if they just are jealous because that little TC18 has got more heart, a <font color=blue> blue heart, <font color=black> than the same size orange compacts. /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif/w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif


Orange fellows don't take my comments wrong. I just have got to help poor JimBinMI out. There are several of ya'll, and only 4 or so of us blue guys to take up for one another. I think we are loosing Paddock to the <font color=orange> orange fever. <font color=black> A good dose of <font color=blue> blue medicine<font color=black> might cure him, just kidding Paddock. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif/w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

James,

Don't worry, there's plenty of "us" out there. I have owned 3 blues, from a 1971 Ford LGT 100 (still own, runs like a scalded dog), to an 1100 (don't own anymore), to a TC 25 (just bought). Maybe it's just that we are actually out there USING our tractors, rather than here TALKING about using our tractors like some "others". Oooh boy, I can't believe I got involved in this discussion.

Gordon,

Are you serious? That's like 4 years of 40 hours a week in that seat! How many years have you owned that thing? I'm jealous, do you skip work a lot? Is your hourmeter working OK?

If you're serious, in all of my seriousness, we have a true compact Kubota expert in our midst! Hooorah! /w3tcompact/icons/cool.gif

10 years and the hourmeter works just fine thank you I use it for logging and landscaping and any thing else that pays good.
I did a post on here not to long ago about it its a L3750 with a cab and front end loader. The post was about some of the things that have broken over the years alot of which I caused./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gifhttp://www.tractorbynet.com/cgi-bin/compact/showthreaded.pl?Cat=&Board=owning&Number=5057&Search=true&Forum=All_Forums&Words= &Match=Entire Phrase&Searchpage=0&Limit=1000&Old=2days

Gordon,

Wow, you average about 800 hrs./year! Hope you know that you are the exception and not the rule! I will have my TC18 one year on June 29th and right now I have about 63 hours on it. My dealer estimated that for my use, I will put about 100 hours/year on it. But I don't hire out either, never intended to, this is a personal use tractor, and for me 18.5 hp is plenty for what I need it for on 8 acres! /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Easy there Jim, I was just being a little sarcastic, I think you just used up like a dozen posts worth of exclamaition points.
