Whats Your Pleasure, And Are You Happy With It

[Ender]

Picked up a new TC-30 the end of October and find it is a wonderful toy...er...tool. Got a FEL and back blade with it and have moved several tons of rocks and dirt so far.

I work up at the arctic oil fields of Alaska and at home we have gotten some 30 inches of snow in the last couple of days. That said my wife has decided that she would use the blade to clear the 400 some odd feet of driveway we have...

I am afraid I may have lost my tractor /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

In Sept. 03 I bought a new CC 7264 TLB. I love it so far !
I was raised on a farm years ago so I operated alot of equipment , albeit old.
Things have come a long way since then.
During the mid 80's I restored a TO 20 Ferguson. A man some years later made me an offer I couldn't refuse, so now he owns it.
It sure was a "fun" old tractor.
I just completed pallet forks for the CC and am starting to fab a snow plow set-up.
I do have a 3pt blade, harrow and boom lift.

In November I bought a JD 4310 shuttle shift with the 430 loader. WOW! It is so smooth, the seat is spring loaded and the loader cycles so fast I nearly jumped out of the seat the first time I rolled the bucket down and it went boom against the stops. I wish I had bought it sooner.

I bought a Kubota B7500/FEL/BH with a Bearcat Chipper and some 3pt pallet forks in September 2002. I have put 280 hours on it so far and haven't had a single problem..... Ok... a few self inflicted problems /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif.... The machinery has been great though. I really am satisfied with my purchase. Looking at these posts, I would venture to say that 98% of all tractor owners love their machines. I would also venture to say that 96% would probably choose one size bigger if they could....

In October of 99 I bought a 2000 JD 4300, 430 loader and box scraper. Over time I added a 60" tiller, bush hog, farm blade, post hole digger, middle buster, fork lift, quick-hitch and a spike tooth harrow. And yes I am very happy! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I have a Kubota B7800 with a standard 402 FEL, Woods RB72 rearblade and York rake that I bought in Fall '03. I love this tractor. So far I've ditched and graded my long, steep drive, hauled firewood, and plowed a couple of major snow storms. After the latest snow/rain event and a newly iced drive, I may break down and buy the Herd sander/spreader. In the spring I'm planning to buy a MMM and a rotary mower. This machine has a great power to size ratio. Prior to this one I had a Kubota 1750 that I bought used. It was great for my little 3 1/2 acre lot, but I now have 60 acres with a lot of driveway to plow, lawn to mow, fields to brush hog, farm road to maintain, etc. At this stage, I think this tractor at 30hp is the perfect size for me. A year from now I may feel differently, but right now I am a very happy camper.

Do they normally shoot guitar players in your neck of the woods or are you really that bad ? /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif Dave

Funny DocsKnotIn! I figured they didn't have enough piano players and resorted to shooting guitar player too.

After lots of shopping and TBN input I bought a Kubota Grand L 3010 in April of 02. Awesome machine. Very very pleased with my purchase. I have 210 hours of experience on it so far but am still pleasantly surprised by it's capabilities.

I've also noticed everyone that has posted here is pleased with their purchases. Many found TBN before making their purchases and I think that plays a huge part in the 100% satisfaction rate.

I agree with you Moon, as I see most folks are just plain happy with the rig that they own. Mind you a few are wishing for a few more HP, but hey isn't everyone? /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I used to get my kicks flying Cessna’s now every time I see one of those monster tractors, the ones that make my TC-40D look small by comparison, and with the bat-wing mowers I start salivating all over myself. I really don't need to own one, but to operate one for an hour would make my day! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Bought my B-7500 2 years ago and I am very happy. This seems to be THE answer. The tractor is a great stress releiver, a great time saver and a source of pride.
Happy New Year!!!
