Out with the old. In with the new.

[Blairgowrie]

I decided to upgrade my tractor fleet last week and yesterday afternoon the delivery truck showed up with a brand new Kubota M7040. It is a 70hp with Michelin tires and air conditioner comes as standard. I kid you not, this thing is a real beauty.

I traded in a 60hp Massie and a 37hp Kubota L3710. It is a lot easier to maintain and store one tractor instead of two.

Here are the tractors I traded

What is this I see arriving?

And away go the old ones

I am off to play with the new tractor now before my wife gets out of bed.

Thats a sweet looking cockpit and more complicated than the planes

We have a long time saying in this squad:

"Only BG..."

I can see BG all teary and sentimental as his old tractor is taken away.

[Mobius One]

That thing looks real fun ,

For some strange reason I don't understand, I keep forgetting to raise the bucket when I move away.

Bbloke. I never would have put air conditioning on it unless it was standard. But I did go for the air seat at $500 extra.

I wasn't sad to get rid of the tractors JP. One had a major hydrauulic issue and the other a problem with the hydrostatic drive: neither of which were noticed when they did the appraisal for trade in. Tires were shot on the Kubota.

Nice bit of kit Jim! They've certainly come a long way, with the swoopy fenders, curved glass and funky interior. Found out what all the switches do yet ?

[Blairgowrie]

Funnily enough Kling, the switches are pretty standard and function just like the old ones did except they are nearly all syncromeshed now. It is jazzy looking as you say.

Hmmm New tractor smell.

Once you go Kubota you never go back.
