Thanks again for everyone's replies.

Thanks for taking the time to respond to my question. I'm definitely going to get one on order as soon as I can get up to my camp and measure my bucket.

Can you actually dig with this tooth bar? I've seen a video of it clearing brush but no digging. If I put one on my L3800, it will be used for re-digging ditches on the sides of the roads at my camp and clearing trails of brush. Thanks.

Many of our plots are small and require some tight turning. Your design would probably do a better job than mine but then it would prevent me from backing up. I'd like to see a picture of your rig. It may be something I'd like to add to my arsenal in the future. Thanks

I made a drag for my 4' disk this weekend and it worked great. I bought an 8' x 7.5" wood post from TSC and cut it down to 6'. I Attached it with 2 pieces of 6' chain doubled over. I made sure there was enough chain to allow the post to be rolled on top on the disk for transporting. It really...

Nice. I'm just getting started with my tractor and implements so I'd rather not shell out the cash for a hard top now. I might could go for something like that. What is the brand and model number? Does it come in other colors? Thanks

Thanks to all who responded. It sounds like I'm on the right track. My disking speed was in the 4-5 mph range and I thought to myself, if it's working why go any faster. Plus it's a lot easier on the lower lumbar.

I'm a first time tractor owner and I've had a lot of fun learning to use my L3800HST 4x4. I acquired a 4' disk and I've been working on our food plots. I've been disking in M gear and running 2,000-2,200 RPMs and I've been going kind of slow since I'm learning. Even though I'm going slow, the...

Whoops! wrong section. Moved to tractor operating.

ShaunRH Nice. How did you mount it to your tractor? Can you share some pics? My first attempt to mount my ammo box didn't go so well. Thanks

Thanks for the responses. Looks like I need to get a few more things.

I'm a new L3800HST owner and I'm replacing the toolbox with a .50 cal ammo box. I tend to always over pack and bring too much gear wherever I go. I'm curious what tools everyone keeps in their toolboxes. This is my first tractor so I don't have any experience to draw on as far as what tools...

39 and holding

I'm taking delivery of my new L3800HST 4X4 w/FEL Wednesday. It's my first tractor and I've been studying the manual I read where it states to operate the tractor at slower speeds for the first 50 hours and "to avoid excessive work or operation until its been broken in." Would disking or using...

I pulled the trigger on an L3800HST FEL 4x4 with Ag tires today. One of the few L3800's left in my area. It's going to take them a few days to get the loader installed. I'm headed back to the dealership Saturday to finalize the paperwork and they'll deliver it next week. This is my first...

I understand everyone's concern about leaving a new tractor at the camp. Fortunately, our base camp is not in the woods. It's located in a small community and is surrounded by many houses with mostly retired neighbors who are home all day. We let the two next door neighbors hunt for free because...

Wow, that's a great price for the L3800 with a FEL. Was that quote for an HST and 4WD?

Thanks again to everyone for the info. I went to the local dealer today and checked out several different models. I decided to get an L3800 HST with a FEL. Only problem is, they don't have one on the lot. They said they will try and get it from another dealer. I would prefer to purchase it from...

Thanks for the info. I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge. I'm headed to the dealership Friday to look at some used models. I'll keep you posted. Thanks

I'm looking to purchase a tractor for use at my hunting camp only. I've never owned a tractor before and I'm hoping to get some input from those with more experience in the tractor world. My budget is no more than $20K out the door (tractor with FEL only). The primary purpose would be using...
