I still don't know how it happened. I was content to just lurk on OTT, learning stuff like crazy from you people. Next thing I am at the Kubota dealer in Albuquerque; Mesa Tractor Inc., don't remember how I got there but I seem to recall asking a bunch of questions waiting for a "NO" so I could leave but the dealer kept saying "YES", "NO PROBLEM", and "FRIDAY". It all happened so fast, I think "you people" at OTT sent a virus through the Internet that took control of my brain or something. I had to get cured, I knew that. The cure arrived that Friday in the form of a new L3400 TLB, delivered to the house on the dealer's trailer. I feel much better now. If I can figure out how to get the pix off my wife's camera onto this site I will post some. There is no way anyone wants to watch the 2 hours of video I took with the camera mounted on the ROPS; watching me drive all over with a big idiot grin on my mug. Actually its only a TL, since the B part is somewhere in Texas and the mounting sub-frame is somewhere else. These get attached in June. I hope you orange people are used to the blathering of a Newbie but I just wanted to thank you all for somehow making me buy my first Kubota!
