The new L3800 HST

[78-79fordman]

Right on the clutch. Too bad it doesn't have gears to go the clutch.

The rear rims can be set out wider, I'd do it!

No help here on the remotes or grapple.

They don't come with the right side handle, but I'd get one.

Ya I wanted the HST so my mom or a hired hand could easily drive it .

The rims ya they will be widened as soon as the cruise control comes probley this coming week will let the dealer do the rims and install the cruise since he said free install .

And the handle ya will get one if not crazy high don't like the look of the stickers coving the holes .

Lookin at your last pics reminded me I NEED a larger tractor! Not that I'll
get rid of the L3800, but get a larger one to go with it...

 

[78-79fordman]

Well it's its got 3 and half hours on it so far .
It had 3 tenths on it when I sit on it to test drive it .
Done some briar and dead weed whack'n

Fix'n to till the garden in a few days with the l3800 got it plowed used the mf135 for plowing . Going to run the disk over it some before I till it . Will use the m7040 for the disk I believe .

I used to mow with the FEL on, but started taking it off when not needed.

May have to try it with our some day but I used to push some old tree up . Seems like every time I turn I find the load a job it can do .

Yep there are rare times when mowing I wish I had the loader, but it rides,
handles and steers so much better without all that extra weight and length
hanging out front. Not knocking the loader, I use mine a lot, but don't want
it on there when mowing!

Agreed, much better ride w/ out the loader on there.

When its doing strictly mowing this summer may take it of . Tell then it will stay to much to do with it on there .

They pretty easy to get on and off ? Never have took one off yet .

Takes about 90 seconds --- be sure to leave it in the shade to avoid an oil spray shower

Got the garden that was plowed disked with the m7040 .

[78-79fordman]

And ya before ya ask I do have a full sleeve tattoo on my left arm . Just got down with it a couple months ago after 6 months of working on it .
Here's a pic of it .

I would really like to till my garden but there is still 4 feet of snow covering it up. More snow tomorrow, it's the winter that won't end. At least it got up to 30 today and that's on the + side of the gauge.

Will add that I really needed the cruise control that I guess hasn't came in yet .

Already running a tiller with such low hours? Read page 17 of the manual.....

It's no different than running a cutter . Probley easier since it was at a crawl . And it wasn't 5 hours 100% straight . I stopped and let it take a break .

Plus don't have time to dick it around for 50 hours . Tiller'n had to get done . I garden to make money . And where already behind . So can't get further behind . And using the tiller with the mf135 just don't work great it's way to fast speeded .

And as good as I had it disked it had it easy . And my tiller is a 48-50 inch or so haven't really measured it . So it's not overload its a hair smaller than recommended . It is a made on tractor tiller . That's been made to 3pt .
