New to the forum. I will try not to post much until I am fully Orange and actually have something reasonably intelligent to say.

Welcome to OTT Dwight.

I have not seen a requirement that you had to be totally Orange. I am 2 Orange and 1 Green and each of them have a specific purpose.

Thanks for the Welcoming!

The reason I am not fully orange is that the tractor and equipment are ordered. The Dealer said 2 or 3 months wait time.:rolleyes:

That is about what I waited and yes implements where the hold up. Everytime I would drive past the dealer I would see MY LX3310 just sitting out front on the lot.
My Grandson said hey Pop your tractor isn’t on the lot anymore. He went past every day on the school bus. Got the call the next day

Dwight - - welcome!

There are several new folks here that are looking for recommendations on what tractor to buy, or how to accessorize the the tractor they want before ordering.

Happens all the time. No need to hold back your questions until the tractor shows up. I'm sure you have some already....Fire away.

I didn't join OTT until after I made my tractor purchase in 2013. You'll find it's a great resource with some great guys and gals.

Dealer just informed me that my "build" is scheduled for September. I asked, "September 2021?"

Looks like I had better review the manuals another time or two to keep reinforcing my lagging memory.

Congratulations. Hope you have a complete machine home by the end of the year.

Makes me very thankful I picked mine up in the fall of 2019. Back then you could go to the dealer lot, test drive a variety of models, pick one out, and have it home the next day. Those were the days…

Dealer update, your snow blower is here. Tractor 2 - 3 weeks. Backhoe, longer.

I am reporting this with (other than the snow blower) low confidence level, high optimism level.

Welcome to OTT Dwight.

I am one orange + one blue (Ford) + one gray (old Ford 8N).

Almost Orange:

Is it really possible? Dealer informs me the tractor, loader, and backhoe have shipped. The snowblower is already here, so that is everything (for now :rolleyes: ). Should arrive the end of next week and then they do there mount installs and etc, before delivery.

Happy Halloween! (y)

It there a way to move this thread to the proper forum? Being a rookie at the beginning, I made a rookie mistake. That mistake now follows me around like the plague for everyone to see.:oops::oops::oops:

Stuck in "Site News and Suggestion Box".

I have news that isn't "Site News", while is it news at our site.

Tractor, loader, backhoe and snowblower are all at the dealership being prepped. It almost feels miraculous!
