    Look forward to seeing the new tractor. They are sure handy things to have around.

    Cograts Backwoods Savage !! You will love that tractor! We were deciding between Kubota models and fell into a trade for our Mahindra so that ended that debate:). Enjoy your new "tool"

    Here are a couple pictures off their web site. Difference is 3301 vs the 3901 pictured. They look identical except for the numbers. In fact, they are the very same engine! Not entirely certain how they get an additional 6hp with the very same engine except perhaps from the injectors but the 33hp should do all I need done here.

    Same bucket and loader as on the 3901 too.

    Because of the problem with my left leg I went with the HST.

    Even the ornery one got a new hat! Yes, they've been giving rebates for quite some time and we got a few more discounts which all added up nicely.

    fantastic, is it new or used? if you can order with 3rd function accessory for front.. a grapple in future will save you with brush to pile or a little snow plow etc etc

    New. Yes, I had thought about the 3rd function but decided I could get along without it. If I absolutely have to have a grapple, I can always borrow the neighbor's tractor and grapple! That makes it handy.

    You will like the HST....and likely forget where the clutch and brake pedals are. I run mine on some pretty steep terrain pulling fairly heavy loads sometimes and it does great.

    Just a reminder, DO NOT OPERATE YOUR TRACTOR VERTICALLY:rofl: :lol:

    .....and this will require a new avatar with your "mug" on a tractor seat instead of that old milk crate:thumbs:
