I was out working in the area were my dealer is located, so I decided to stop by. Mark ( my dealer) was out on the lot showing off some beautiful b7500 and b7800 Kubotas to some of his customers when he said to me, your tractors out back if you want to go look at it. Well trying not to look to overly excited, /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif looked at a couple of more tractors that were on the lot before heading staight for the back. There it was my brand new L3830 Still sitting in the crate it came in. Before I knew it there I was sitting in the seat. Must have looked a little foolish sitting on that tractor with out any wheels and an up side down steering wheel. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif Should get it next week when my backhoe comes in. Boy, felt like a kid again.

You can say that again. Hope I made the right decision.

The L3830 is a darn nice tractor. I'm sure you'll be happy.

Now that is the picture I want to see.....LOL Bet it was a darn nice crate too. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif Isn't it amazing how you just find yourself in the area........so you drop in. Heck when Carvers had my new unit ready and were waiting on a truck to pick it up, I almost found myself in the area to pick it up.........but the wife talked some sense into me and said a 10 hour trip to be in the area was a bit much. I guess she was right /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Congrats

KYTractor,
Just curious, you are a ways ahead of me in this process, am still deciding which model 'bota' to buy. The latest quote I recv'd for the L3830 w/ LA723 FEL and 9' Woods hoe is going to run $30,950 here in NH. Is this in the ball park of the cost of your rig?

frank_f15/surfran, My dealer is a little over 2 hrs. from me. Now that you've mention it though, it sure would be nice to be in the "area" when the tires get put on. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Steve, I actually had two quotes, one was for the L3130,La723,72 box blade, bradco 408/$23,200 add 1600 for 72 finish mower. My L3830 Added $1900 Plus the Bradco 509 added another $800. which would be around 25,900 with out the finish mower. The bradco is a very good back hoe, Just put it in the search here and you can do some research on it. Did you get anything else for the $30,950? ---Shane
