Kubota B3200

From Miscellaneous

After looking at tractors for a few years as our old mid-1950's Ford 800 accumulated maintenance issues and is now to the point of needing major work, I finally purchased a new tractor. Critera included something that could use our existing implements, a front end loader, compact enough to haul with our existing vehicles, and a brand I am comfortable will still have parts available for another 40-50 years.

John Deere and Kubota were both at the top of my list for evaluation, but our local John Deere dealer (Lost Creek Implement) closed. C.H. Waltz was a logical choice, as I drive by a couple of their dealerships regularly in the course of going to and from work.

Kubota's B3200 hit all my critera for the right price, so I jumped on this one; especially as they had a used snowblower in stock. Although we haven't gotten much snow lately, I've always wanted a snowblower but the walk behind models aren't practical when our lane is 1/4 mile (about 400 meters). A fortuitous choice this year, as this is the first year in a while we have gotten a real winter.
