I called the dealer I had a good price from for an L3000DT yesterday just to ask how much delivery would be from Wyatt,In to Joliet. Chuck Whiteman, my salesman told me about $200. He said he might have a truck going my way tonite. He called me back and said he would drop it off for $100 if I would take delivery at 9:00 pm. That wasn't a problem for me, so now my Bota is in my driveway. I will go get it at lunch and bring it to my business where I have a few jobs for it the next few weeks, and then it goes to Wisconsin for food plot duty till fall. $15,000 with LB400 loader delivered to my doorstep. Don, the driver who delivered the rig, was a great guy. Wyatt Farm Center in Wyatt ,In (near South Bend), give them a call. Now for a tiller. Marty

Thanks. Got the LB400 loader. Seems heavy enuff for my use. Just ordered Land Pride 1558 tiller w/ slip clutch. I have a friend ordering 2 truckloads of lime, and 1 truck load of 4" stone for spreading in a few weeks at my hunting place. I will keep tiller mounted during loader work for ballast. Let the games begin. Also towed like a dream on my 20' bobcat trailer behind my F350.

Congratulations, Marty! /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Yours is pretty much the same as my L2500DT, only with more vitamins! /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

I also have the LB400 loader, and have banged the bucket around pretty good without a sign of wear and tear. When I say banged around, I mean things like cruising along at a pretty good clip, skimming the surface of the soil with the bucket blade and accidentally ramming into a cleverly concealed boulder so hard I stalled the tractor. Didn't leave a mark.

You have much fun and adventure ahead of you. Please keep us posted. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif
