Patiently waiting...

[The Deerslayer]

This whole being patient thing is not all that great. LOL

After reading way too much (mostly on here) I called my dealer this morning and had him add on a Land Pride RB2684 back blade. :dance1:

I just got done plowing the 6 inches that came down over night with my ATV. I now have 4-5 piles all over from the winter so far. The tractor showing up in a couple of weeks will not be too soon and I hope to not be plowing with my ATV much anymore.

Been there and done that regarding the waiting thing....well worth the wait!:thumbsup: I have the L3901 (same tractor as yours with exception of HP) and have been very pleased with it overall. Also have a rear blade that works great for most snowfalls around here;blower handles the deeper stuff. As a tip when you use the blade on gravel, reverse it.

Not that I'm looking to spend your money for you :laughing:, after using it for awhile you may find yourself wanting another grab handle on the right fender. Only comes with one on the left from the factory even though there is a place and mounting holes for one on the right. I added one to the right as I found myself constantly needing to place my right hand there, especially when turning around using rear implements.

Looking forward to seeing pics of your new rig!

Thanks for the tip on reversing the blade and the fender handle. I'll look for getting one right now!

So, I have ordered some bolt on hooks from Ken's just a moment ago, some lights to mount on the canopy based on another thread, a back blade with shoes based on recommendation from many threads, plotting a wicked grapple from EA and afraid to call them because I'd pull the trigger on it, and now thinking about a skidding winch.....I won't even have the tractor delivered until next week!!!!! This forum is dangerous. LOL

And to think I was holding off on suggesting the bucket hooks in my last post to save you some money!:laughing: You will find them to be well worth it. Suggest that when you mount them, place in line with the loader cylinders.

You mentioned the lights on the canopy which are a great idea. I placed a couple rear facing work lights that come in very handy when moving snow at night with the back blade or rear mounted snow blower.

Thanks

Thanks for the tip on hooks placement, Slayer. I also have the part number you gave me for the right grab handle....need to remember that next time I am near the dealer.

Ha Ha ... They better hurry with that tractor so you can get on it and stop spending $$$ on it.

That's funny, I don't know of anybody who stops spending money on their tractor. You always need extra lights, attachments, hooks, switches, etc.

Great Point.. I'm about to go to TSC in a bit to get something for mine

All I know is, I hope that the folks from EA never get my phone number calling about selling me a grapple....cause I would melt like soft butter and my wallet would come flying out.

I almost bought w quick hitch today off Harbor Freight with a a coupon I had until I saw the shipping costs.....talked myself down by thinking I'd be by their store in a few weeks the next time I go to the city and could get one then. LOL

You may want to check out the threads here on the HF quick hitch. Although relatively inexpensive, many have found that you are limited as to how many attachments you can use it for without modifications. My personal experience was just that. I get a bunch of stuff from HF and have been very happy with most everything. However, I was lured by the low cost of the hitch and found I was unable to use it on any of my attachments. Most implements have varying pin widths and the HF hitch does not account for that without you having to make modifications. Brought it back the next day.

There are other quick hitches out there that may cost more, but work very well with all implements. I settled on the Pat's Easy Change system and it has made a huge difference in reducing the aggravation factor sometimes associated with implement hook up. Check them out on line for videos on how they work and get feedback from others here. You can buy direct or through the TBN store. If you decide to go that route, they always seem to have a black friday discount..... if you can wait. :licking:

Happy New Year!

Well crap. Tractor was supposed to be delivered late last week. Just called to see what they thought about a delivery date and I was told hopefully by this weekend though possibly early next week.

*(^*&%&^$^%#%$@^%$#!!!!!!!!!!!

The fridged temps are away for a few days this week and I was hoping to get to playing with it some. Of course, back down to negative temps starting this weekend into next week. Son of a rusted-stripped bolt.

Just little more tossing and turning along with day dreaming....hang in there.

Colder than a polar bear's nose....it has been delaying shipments down south too.

Whoohoo! Just got the call that my tractor is being delivered tomorrow afternoon. I'm starting to remember what it was like on Christmas eve as a kid. Just in time for the weekend. If I can keep my fingers working in the cold that it is supposed to be maybe I will get the ROPS lights installed and the buckets hooks. I shall be dreaming of orange things tonight I suspect.

[The Deerslayer]

I know the feeling. Don't forget to take pictures to post.
