    Hey fellas. I plowed 2 acres this evening and used the l3000dt and a fergusson 10-ao-40 2 bottom with h mould boards. It did an excellent job and had more a&" than I thought it would.

    I want to give a "Big Thanks" to Agri Supply . .

    The fact that he had enough respect to call you and let you know is worth a lot. That's why I'm pretty d"** sour with John Deere. I'm not a millionaire 6000 acre farmer or even 10% but I'm respectful and work hard for my money. Kubota dealers that I've spoken actually seem to be happy I'm in...

    Don't forget the shady folks at the insurance companies. I had some give me some " great" quates only to realize that they were only in effect from tues thru sat on a full moon and sun thru Monday on a 1/4 with a min barometric pressure of 39.0. All were void if the pollen count was high and it...

    Hunting Camp Tractor - Need Advice

    I only added the extra articles to cover the Kubota because I use it for profit off of farm. It's mainly for wrecks. I have known at least twice where entire barns burnt full of 2 million plus in equipment and it was covered. Different strokes for different folks. I know I couldn't afford to...

    You are very fortunate sir and lucky. I live outside a nice little town and it's all old farmers and theirs families. We have started encountering people from 20-30 miles away finding it easy pickings too. It's a bad day when you come home and think your neighbor just borrowed your $10,000 dump...

    New L3800 package deal help

    I have been using a 6' rhino finIsh mower on my l3000dt and it handles it fine. I like that I have the extra 6" past each tire. It keeps me from running over grass and not getting a good cut. It makes it looks like crap IMHO when the next day after mowing you have a bunch of stragglers popping...

    If it were me I'd go with the 3800 for $2000 that's a lot more tractor for the money and and probably $3000 more on resale. A 2 stage clutch is a doll baby vs a single stage. If your already spending 20k throw 2 more in and buy 20% more tractor

    K1 Kerosene in new L3800??

    I run the rear tank of my 97 f350 with kerosene in winter to start it then switch to regular when started but I sure as hell don't put in the new diesel truck. I wouldn't recommend it. If you burn 1 gal per hr your only saving $800 over 2000 hrs of tractor use and I'd guarantee fixing your...

    L3800 buying advice

    It helps stop the dreaded " lawnmower foot" as I call it. It's when your feet goes numb from holding that little pedal down on drives and long pulls. It's nice when driving to neighbors or back in the woods. I have a gear drive so no issue here for me but my ford gt75 mower is hst diesel and I...
