New vs. Used 3240

[davemack]

I bought a box scrape as well. I've only used a blade scrape in the past, so I need to learn how to use the new one. I did a search over in the Kubota using forum, but didn't see anything there. Anybody know where to go find some reading material on this?

I think you'll be happy with that setup. If you plan on keeping it for a long time you'll be very thankful that you got the GST. Not that the DT is bad.

There is a lot of info on TBN but this device has many common names, most of which start with "box": box blade, box scraper, etc.. So you have to search on several names

Did I mention I got this for my wife for a Christmas present?

Good thinking!!

Now you can go and by another for yourself!!

As promised, here is a pic of my new tractor. I took some others, but they came out a little fuzzy. I had company all weekend, but I managed to get a couple of hours in using the tractor. Man is this nice compared to my old tractor. Real finesse with the scraper and hydraulics and the loader is a real man toy. I'm looking for projects now.

That is one gorgeous tractor!

IMHO the GL3240 the best looking and best value Kubota yet.

I need some kubota orange paint for that box scraper though.

I wasn't going to say anything but...

What was Kubota thinking when they got in bed with Land Pride and didn't specify Kubota orange or a 50% discount -- buyer's choice

You're a long way from an AC WD. Congratulations and Merry Christmas you're going to have fun now!

Any of you guys have any idea what I should ask for my AC WD? It needs tires and some body work, but runs good. I have another AC WD that does not run for parts, a plow, disk, scrape and log splitter. I was thinking of asking $2000. What do you think?

Dave, $2K for a working tractor and a bunch of implements is way low. I'd start at $3K for tractor, and add in some money for each implement. Tools that work are worth some money.

Dave, try these two sites to get an idea of asking prices and to maybe even list your AC on. Hope this helps.
