Craigslist

[aeblank]

So on an unassuming Saturday (yesterday) my craigslist app pops up a result for "Kubota" that I had programmed. Called to verify it wasn't an HST, so I could put it out of my mind. Oops, it was an HST. Bleah bleah bleah, yadda, yadda, yadda.

Put money down on my new toy.
2013 L3940HST
LA724 Loader
150 hours
Absolutely pristine. Stored inside, properly maintained at the dealer, etc.

I pick her up on Wednesday, probably. My hauler (my dad) is busy tomorrow and Tuesday. =( He has a 2000-ish L3710, so that is my reference point.

Where should I go for a weld-in cutting edge? Bucket (assuming 72") is lacking an edge.

Can't friggin wait.
Picture should be attached.

sounds like a winner! what cha pay for the ol' girl if'n you dont mind me being nosey!

 

[aeblank]

$32k.

I felt it was good deal, but I didn't steal it.
He knew what it was worth. Someone else would have paid it if I didn't.

A tractor was on the list for 1-2 years from now. Oops.

Well, you are going to find that in the NEXT 1-2 years....you are going to move so much stuff around that you will be mad that you didnt have it 1-2 years AGO!

Something 'bout a tractor, even sitting still, worth every penny one spends!!!

I've used my dad's, so i know what i do with it and what i can't do when i don't have it.

Getting one tractor is better than getting 10 christmas gifts!!! It's like christmas every day.

Except for the past year or so with the record setting rain we've had. 1 good day of rain wastes 3 total tractoring days since the ground is worthless for the next 2 (at least during these short cold days). Unless of course you don't mind playing in mud, which usually creates more work/damage to fix on the 'less-muddy' days.

Tomorrow is the day. Can't wait!

Congrats that's a fine looking tractor.

 

[aeblank]

Lovin' it.

I've noticed a couple things.

1. Holy crap can it move fast. Seems way faster than my dad's L3710. Maybe the HST+, maybe the increase in HP, I dunno. The rabbit/turtle in all 3 ranges are awesome!
2. it won't fit in my garage with the ROPS up. Also, not like my dad's L3710 which does. Plans for uber lights will have to be revisited. Flipping it up each time seems like a pain.

Nice looking tractor. Can you remodel the garage door and put in a taller one? That would save a lot of aggravation of putting the ROPS up and down.

 

[aeblank]

Nope. It is icf construction, so there is basically a massively rerodded concrete beam up there. Not touching it on a bet.

Easy fix for you... You now have a tractor dig it down!

The radiant floor tubes in the floor probably won't fare too well.

That's just a little issue, nothing a little duct tape a bailing wire can't fix!

 

[gpreuss]

Surely you have room for yet another garage door there...
Nice tractor!
