New 3240DT From Barlows Finally Arrived

Congrats, just be sure to keep the rpms down until the breakin period is over. Have fun!

So what rpms should I keep it below? The manual says not to run it faster than necessary during the breakin period. That really helps alot.:confused2:
I ran between 2000 & 2100 while hogging and only about 1000 & 1200 while playing with the loader. I always thought it was important to vary rpms while breaking it in.
Well anyway I really love this tractor. I just have to get used to it since its a whole lot different than the 8n that I've been using for 13 years. It's a little bigger:laughing: and more refined. Way more controls and levers to get used to.

Thanks for all the congrats, Jeff

There are several threads on break-in operation, you can't go wrong operating as per manual.

You won't have to baby it.

71Bronco-
I also really like my Kubota MX5100 with all the stuff.

I echo your great comments about Barlows. They were easy to work with, provided the tractor, loader, tiller and trailer exactly as I wanted. Don (I believe) also delivered mine about 9 at night after driving straight through to the farm way back into the Virginia woods. I did go meet him on the main road because he would have had a devil of a time turning around if he had gotten lost.

Enjoy the new tractor and congrats!!:thumbsup:

Thanks, I have about 6 hrs on it now with no complaints. I'm loving the loader as I never had one before. I use it for alot of things I never thought I would of. Now I have to find some forks for it.
