Wishing for before Christmas delivery

IvanS · Dec 15, 2012

Well, the minster of finance approved my new tractor purchase last night. I started the sales pitch to her and she stopped me "you don't need to sell me on this, having a tractor before was very handy and I know we need one again"

I just sent an email to Brady Barlow confirming that I want to proceed with the purchase of a B3300SU, loader and backhoe equipped. Now the wait begins - do you think it will make it before Christmas - sure would make it a wonderful gift for the day. I'm not sure of their current stocking situation, maybe John Thomas can inform me on that

Now to make sure that I can find all those parts I collected for a top n tilt setup back when I had my B7800. I never got around to it on that tractor but I will for sure get it done for this one. I'm thinking about building a grapple for this one too.

Edit: just got an email back from Brady - sounds like it will be here by Christmas - who-hoo!

Sounds like one awesome Christmas present! I bet Santa is gonna be using a roll back truck for this one. :laughing:

You should have ordered a few days earlier.

Marvin just returned yesterday from a Gallatin, Tn delivery which is why I didn't get mine yesterday.
Congratulations on your return to a B. Had a B7800 as my second tractor and had it for 3 years. Did major work with it and it was a great machine. Had a B3200 and it to was a great machine.
Again, welcome back and congratulations!:thumbsup:

I have an L3200 on order with Barlows too. Pretty sure it won't arrive by Christmas though, they need to order the grapple and land plane.
Still waiting on an eta from Brady.

Congrats on the new toy, er, tool... And double gratz on the great wife (almost)!

Sorry to hear your Christmas sleigh might night make it in time - darn reindeer any way. And you are right about the great wife, 32 years and two awesome kids. she is what I would call a "keeper".

When I was at Barlows signing contracts for my trade I heard Steve Barlow and Marvin talking about a Mt delivery. I spent 2 years in the Flathead Valley and loved it. Maybe they'll let me ride with them if I'll pay them enough.:cool2:

Flathead is beautiful for sure, as are the Bitterroot mountains.
I was amazed at the deal Barlows offered compared to the local dealers. Doubly good considering the delivery mileage. The waiting is... fun...
