    Well basod I've never thought of a tractor as being sexy. How would you go about having sex with it?

    Here is what Tim was referring to. While I was somewhere else, they put a crate on my new tractor.

    You will pick up on using the backhoe in no time at all. Remember to dig with the dipper, not the bucket. Really nice tractor.

    Thanks for the compliments fellah wood hoardahs...

    For the newcomers I did some extensive research last year before not pulling the trigger as some other family needs superseded a tractor Advice on smallerish tractor for the woods

    I tend to not be loose with money, so last years tractor funds after paying off the house went into stocks - made me some coin
    IF I was a fart smucker those funds would have paid for this tractor and then some more implements:makeitrain" (had I sold in January)
    tractor is paid for but the outstanding balance is outpacing the 0% 60mo financing offer

    I ruled out bx and Deere 10's due to size from pure operator comfort I felt ai was on a Shriner car.
    The b series are nice but once optioned out how I wanted and side by side comparisons of load specs the L2501 made more sense $/capacity
    Upsizing to 3301 is a decent price step due to the DPF system. Sales guy said all the L series are same frame- not sure that's true I think they have different axle capacities

    The SS quick attach was standard on it correct? Nice to be able to purchase a widely used quick attachment rather than sometimes getting stuck to one attachment style. Post pics when u get to using it. :yes:

    25hp and under are not regulated under EPA at this time. They are still tier IV engines.

    The 33 and 47hp versions have diesel particulate filters DPF that have a regen cycle.
    None of them are running DEF urea fluid yet...

    No QA loader is still an option, but the bucket is heavier
