Dealer will deliver my new 360TLB this evening. I'm pretty excited.
Never had a backhoe before so I'll be sure to dig lots of holes first.
I've already marked where my new ditches will be. Will post pics and comments soon. I was telling my buddy about it and his son asked "How fast will it go?" Sounds like me when I was 12!

Congrats...I have been looking at the same package now myself. What part of the country are you in and what was the final price? They seem to be a heck of a lot of tractor for the price atm. Did you get any extras like loaded tires or bucket hooks or anything or just the standard TLB package?

I got oversized industrial tires (loaded), 16" bucket on hoe, grill guard, pto pump kit, and quick detach loader. Price for tlb w/options was 23500.
I'm in NC, not far from Tarboro.

Sweet. What made you decide to go with the PTO pump?

I read/heard about many compact tractor owners overheating/foaming the Hydro fluid in their tranny. Cooling is done much more efficiently w/seperate hydro fluid reservoir. Plus the gpm flow is better and no remote hoses or couplings to worry about. I'm digging mostly in sandrock- I need to give the machine every advantage.

That was me a few months ago, it has neever looked so nice again! Wish I had taken a picture prior to 85 these hours. Good luck but I don't think you will need it.

So have you had the chance to try out the new tractor? Hows the loader and backhoe. Give us a review sometime if you get the opportunity.

Thanx!
