OT: Got a new orange toy...
Well, I'm moving to Mississippi next spring - to the land that we purchased there. We're working on getting our current house sold - plenty of buyers, but finding one qualified for the financing seems to be the trick - be we think we're almost there.
In the mean time, one of the things on the move list was getting a tractor - gonna need a tractor for many things - mowing, moving some dirt, grating the drive, etc., so I started researching. Wanted to buy a good used rig but what I found was that they really do hold their value! And none of the used ones had zero %, 60 month financing...
Well, I looked at various brands of new and discovered that (surprisingly) Kubota had the best value for what you get - not to mention their rep is very good. So, that's what I decided on.
It's currently waiting at my buddy's place there - here's a pic he shot with his i-phone just after delivery:
Kub 3200, 4x4, hydrostatic drive - bucket and bush hog. That'll do to get me started. Can't wait to get back up there in a few weeks and do some mowing - my bud's going to come over with his tractor too (he's got a similar one - Kioti 35 horse 4x4 hydro) - gonna give all of the trails a good mowing - it just rained buckets up there compliments of Lee (thank you Lord) and so the brush will be tall...
Not as cool as CRS's "new" green and yellow rig (which I really like!!) but its custom made for what I need to work my hilly place.

Tractors are like PU trucks you gotta have one, good for field prep and haying if you have alot of roots and rocks in your field find a old 2 bottom disc plow it will ride right up and over them without put you up on top the hood. danny

Re: OT: Got a new orange toy...
Somebody else recommended an add-on tooth bar for the bucket - looks very handy to have - allows you to pick things like logs up = I'm going to have my pines "thinned" - take out about 1/3 of them this winter (hoping the lumber prices go up..) This will be the final thinning - they are 19 years old. But they always leave stuff laying around that I'll want to move most likely.
I plan on getting a box blade to use on the gravel driveway and a disk for the food plots and garden. I've been thinking of clearing 10 acres for a small truck farm or even to grow tobacco... looking into that. I probably won't have time to do that justice though.

I know I love mine. I can't think how I'd get anything done around my little spread without it.bmtshooter wrote:You're going to love it.

Re: OT: Got a new orange toy...
I have a JD a little larger then yours also 4x4 with a bucket and a bush hog behind !
But my maternal grandfather had one the same size as yours also 4x4 with a belly mower and a leaf vacume that was very nice to use and drive !
Our lawn mower here is a Kubota and it does okay although I am not a fan of small mowers ! One the size of yours would suit me more !
Have a friend that has a similar setup to yours and I've used his to help him out around his house a few times when he was down !
Congrats I am sure you will be pleased !

Beauty! A friend of mine over at Anna bought one just like yours this spring for his horse farm and he loves it.

Fortunately, there's a dealership (where I boutht this) and service center only 10 miles away. But it's nice to know I have somebody here that I can get advice from

Re: OT: Got a new orange toy...
Cool is relative, and particularly, relative to YOUR needs. For me, I almost got the 'next size up' when I got my tractor, but several times I've barely been able to maneuver it on a trail or between a pole-barn and a fence or whatever, so I'm glad I got the smaller one.O.S.O.K. wrote:Not as cool as CRS's "new" green and yellow rig (which I really like!!) but its custom made for what I need to work my hilly place.
