After all the years of abusing myself with firewood, shoveling, snow, etc, I finally got the helping hand I needed. It's a 2013 Kubota B3200 pre-emission 4wd unit. It's got a very easy 441hrs on it. The neighbors got it new, and the husband passed recently. The wife offered it to me since I've worked on it and done maintenance for them. I've always wanted a helper like this, but never in a position to lay out the coin. Life is finally firing on all 8 cyl, job and pay are doing great, Bill's paid off except for utilities and mortgage. I said heck with it, I ain't getting no younger, Ive paid my dues, so it's my turn to benefit from hard work.   |

They are handy little tractors, I have a 2012 7040 I bought new, one of the best things I ever paid hard earned money for, have never spent a dime on it other than regular maintenance @ 540 hrs.

I have a 1999 JD that I bought used with 1200 hours on it. The original owner only used it to bale hay with mainly. It came with a 7’ brush hog, 5’ rotor tiller and a quick detachable front bucket. I’ve had it 15 years and it still has the same battery in it.
The only attachment I bought for it was a set of forks. It’s attached to the tractor all the time unless I need the bucket. I’ve found pallets with plywood tops are great way to store stuff on like fire wood.

You'll love it. My grandfather had a Case backhoe and used it every week for something or other. Best money he ever spent. The most useful thing on the farm. I still remember riding the school bus home past his place and seeing a deer strung up from the bucket during deer season. You'll wonder how you ever got along without one.  |

For sure. I have a few buddies with tractors, and I have reaped the rewards of them in many ways, so I know the value of having one. I got all the maintenance done, and got her all cleaned up. I took one more picture before she goes to work.  |
