    image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg So I quit smoking on dec. 1st so I went and traded my tractor off on a little bigger one with quick attach loader, as a gift to me. Just built a set of forks yesterday now just need to build a weight box. It should make getting wood quicker next year.

    Way to go, I've heard it's tough to quit but hang in there.

    Congratulations! Money spent on Kubota's is much better than smoking. The quick attach FEL will sure make your chores easier :)
    I recently bought the L5740 with loader...maybe I post some pics later

    Nice job quitting. I smoked a pack a day and occasionally dipped for 10+ years when I was in my teens and 20's. Quitting took some mental fortitude but the rewards of being smoke free were worth it.

    I love the Kubota. I can't justify owning one myself but it would be damm handy for many things.

    288, Best of Luck on quitting the addiction. It is hard but, like any other addiction, one hour at a time and one day at a time. You can do it today. You will be glad you did. It will make a difference in your health.

    Never thought I`d own a Kubota but I now have a M6040 and really like it. Simple layout and so far it`s been very dependable. I like yours as well!!

    I've been logging & firewood with a L3800DT for a few years now and love it! I need to replace our old larger Kubota at some point, but really like the smaller L3800 in the woods!
