My First Orange Tractor

[Jester]

Getting a new L3200 with FEL to help with the construction of my house. Ordered it today, should be delivered next Tuesday or Wednesday. Pretty excited!

Welcome to OTT! Good choice! Make sure you fill the rear wheels and put plenty of ballast on the back before you load the bucket with shingles, climb in, and try to use it as a staging platform....
We all know you are NOT supposed to do things like that.

Might want to think about foam filling the tires front and rear if your using it around a construction site. Alot of nails in your air filled tires will ruin your day and get expensive.

That sounds like an experienced voice...

And who hasn't climbed into the bucket do do SOMETHING? Be really careful around tractors - they can kill you dead! Be even more careful about kids, too. If you leave the tractor idling, they are sure to get on it, and into trouble. You'd hate to have to live with that the rest of your life. Didn't mean to preach.

Do they make heavy foam? You are spot on about the nails. Just one of them would spoil my day. It would be nice if you could have weight AND foam....

Congratulations on your new tractor.

YES actually foam filled tires has the most weight to them over anything else.

[gpreuss]

You are supposed to buy a high pressure washer with your orange tractor, to keep it looking its best! Don't tell your wife - she'll want you to use it for the car, too.
