New Kubota Owner

[slan]

After a few years of debating and taking more test drives than I can remember i finally bit the bullet and bought a new l3240, loaded r4's and FEL.
I will be using it to do some finishing touches to my major lanscaping project that I have been working on for many years.
It will take some getting used to considering I am usually on my D6 dozer or my Ford 655 TLB but these units are getting a bit big for the finish work.
I hope I chose a good unit and if it was not a kubota I would not have taken a chance on a new model.
I only have two hours on it so far and I like it a lot especially the new hydro unit.
One question I have, the PTO is driven directly from the motor via the clutch and not powered hydrolicly right?
Thanks guys

Stan, welcome to TBN... and congrats on your tractor! Sounds like you have the best of all worlds... select your tractor for the work at hand... large or smaller.... picture opportunity... line 駑 up so we can see 駑

Here are my old faithfull toys. They have dug a 300' long fish pond and with a little help LOL from a 60 ton dozer, put in a lake. Also got an old chevy c70 dump just for added trouble.
Now its time to tidy things up with the help of my new toy.

Congrats on your good taste and a mighty fine machine!! Those loaded R4's add about 450# apiece, careful when the frost goes out - ask my wife how I know.

Here's my Grand L hard at work this weekend:

Right, its driven from the Engine, and engauged by a hydraulicly powered clutch.
