I own a 2008 L3540 ROPS with a loader, filled R1 tires and a bunch of different attachments. Like you, I do all kind of work on my property with it. Fields work, road maintenance, forest work, snow removal (lots of snow in the north east). This thing is almost unstoppable! I love the HST+ transmission on these tractors. It is powerful and versatile. It can easily be set for all kind of situations. I added a skid plate underneath to protect mechanical parts as well as hydraulics lines from being damaged when working in in the forest. Keep yours preciously. You will never find such a great tractor again.
She talks all the time and narrates her life even when she’s not on camera. I’m pretty sure she’ll start a TH-cam channel eventually. She’s a nut! Keep on tractoring!
That beaver won't be giving you anymore trouble. When I purchased my Grand L60, the salesman told me all about the transmission and stall guard. I was like sure, it all sounds nice, but it is just features on a tractor. Now that I have almost 200 hours on tractor, I realize how big a deal the HST+ transmission truly is. The HST+ makes the tractor more flexible without having to stop and switch the main gear. Plus, as you pointed out, the Stall guard is another nice feature that I just take it for granted. It is always working in the background and I haven't killed the engine yet. The Grands have nice features.
Yes, I feel the same as you. You really appreciate more as you find different applications those options are best suited for. Also not all tractor brands have those options. Definitely nice to have. Keep on tractoring!
Hi Jon! Congrats on bagging that belligerent beaver. That’s an adorable auto-steer you have on the L3940! The transmission on it has all the bell and whistles. Next time you might want to wear a full face shield when backhoeing the swamp. LOL! Thanks for sharing!
You got me good with Auto steer, I was tripping out wondering how u managed that, your explanation on the options u got is much appreciated, thats what the big guys have in them, thanks for sharing as always Jon.
This is the first time you've shown your 870. Forks keep showing their usefulness. Most of my dad's tractors had shuttle shift. Thanks for the explanation of the fancy hst features.
They just keep making tractors more and more complex....the auto steer is a great feature to have LOL. Many tractors don't have room for that though. Teach 'em while they're young, and keep letting them practice it makes them better drivers when they are old enough to get their license.
Good morning RITTERS one day this summer I went to our camp for day trip to cut grass and do some weed whacking I had to cut up five tress that a storm had knocked down on our road. With three out of four tendons tore in my left shoulder was not fun. We also have beaver problems. Have good time at Yukon acres
Like Yukon acres our place is an hour and half drive if the beavers have not built a dam you can drive right to the camp but if they are busy you to use a boat to cross the river then walk about two miles carrying all your gear which sucks
Excellent video. Nice tractor. Mine also has part time auto steer. My grandkids. Lol. That a big beaver you got there. They really are destructive. Have a Happy New Year. 👍👍👍❤️
I was actually curious about the auto steer on that. I have seen some green star systems adapted to smaller tractors for food plots. We use auto steer in our big tractors. I am also from minnesota. Nice video! did some beaver trapping and shooting 2 years ago myself. beaver castor is the best bait for beavers but just knowing when they are most active you can sit out and spot them typically.
I bet we might see auto steer on some compact tractors within the next 10 years. Technology sure has taken over the world of farming. It’s hard to keep up with. What part of Minnesota are you from? Keep on tractoring!
@@ritterjon oh ya it has changed a ton. Small dairy farms have milking robots now! I live and work south of the twin cities. Prior lake, new Prague area. We also use our tractors to plow snow in the cities during the winter. What part of Minnesota are you in?

Just discovered your channel, nice! I've just checked some of your videos, funny how we live the same life: got a new Grand L 40 series tractor, I have 3 "auto-steer" daughters, and I got a problematic beaver at our cottage. Ha! Cheers from Quebec!
Hahah you and dem beavers! That pond we have out back was never a pond lol it was a steam that was dammed about 10ft ago and its huge now hahah they are busy for sure!
I found someone to trap in exchange to use our fields for dog training. I think I might win the battle now. Those beavers are relentless! I think you need to bust up that dam of yours. It’ll make great content. 😁👍 Keep on tractoring!
It’s perfectly legal to text and tractor with it in auto steer!!😂 I have 3 auto steer systems and you’re right they do learn rapidly started on the skid steer now tractor and mini excavator pretty awesome!! Keep the videos coming you do a great job
Thanks Dan, I’m sure you have a lot of fun with all those auto steer systems. Do they have an auto clean their room mode? Mine doesn’t. Keep on tractoring!
Hey Jon I am glad you finally drove the tractor into that swamp . I have been waiting for that.. Did you have a tow truck on standby? LOL Thanks my friend
I know you’d love to see me get stuck, it ain’t happening! 😁 I do have a couple recovery options just in case though. Keep hoping just in case. Keep on tractoring!
How's she goin'? Good to get the beaver, but there are always more than one eh!!! You had me thinking I might switch to 'orange' when you were talking about auto steer!!! That was good one. LOL But I have to take exception when you are trying the brian wash that poor little girl by telling her 'orange' are the best when we all know if it isn't 'red' leave it in the shed!!! LOL Nice work trying to clear under the bridge too Jon. Hopefully clearing that and getting another beaver or 2 and your problems will be resolved. Well at least for a couple more years anyways eh!! Take care!!
The red tractors are also one of my favorite colors. Those beavers are relentless. They keep showing up every few years. It’s an endless cycle. Keep on tractoring!
After watching my "auto-steer" (4 grandkids) taking turns in my Kubota, my dog has decided that she wants to climb into my tractor every time I open the door to get in. She is a Catahoula, and a little too big to be qualify as a lap dog. At seven, I would imagine that your auto-steer is old enough to NOT play with the loader joystick while you are driving.
My auto steer function has learned over the years. In fact she also knows not to even sit on or touch anything on either tractor without permission. Safety first! Good luck teaching your dog to steer. 👍 Keep on tractoring!
I feel the same way about the 65 gophers I 'eliminate' EACH year to prevent them from destroying my landscaped yard and orchard. Left unchecked, rodents will take over your property and destroy what you've built.
It doesn’t take long for those critters to take over and destroy your land. You got to take control and get ahead of the problem or you’ll be like me and fighting an uphill battle. Keep on tractoring!
Cherish your time with your kids, they grow up so fast! My grandkids have even outgrown the little kid days. Congratulations on getting that beaver!

I agree with you. A tractor like that without all the emissions systems is hard to find. I’ll hold onto it for a long time. 👍
Keep on tractoring!
Awesome job Ritters. Nice seeing the family. Teach them young. Super nice tractor
One hell of a machine, my bx also has the auto steer but there isn’t a whole lot of room after it’s installed
That's an extremely versatile transmission! Love that auto throttle!
Those beaver sure are busy. Thanks for showing the features of your tractor especially the AUTO STEER. Thanks for sharing your video with us. Ed
Nice looking family. Good to see kids growing up and appreciating the outdoors.
Thanks! I appreciate the kind words!
Keep on tractoring! 👍
Your auto steer is ready to take over the video. She did a great job and she seems like a natural in front of the camera.
She talks all the time and narrates her life even when she’s not on camera. I’m pretty sure she’ll start a TH-cam channel eventually. She’s a nut!

Good morning to the Ritter family.
Love your “Auto Steer” feature.

If my auto steer keeps growing I’m going to need a bigger tractor with a buddy seat.
Keep on tractoring!
You got me good with Auto steer, I was tripping out wondering how u managed that, your explanation on the options u got is much appreciated, thats what the big guys have in them, thanks for sharing as always Jon.
Glad I got you thinking there for a bit. It’s a great option. Talks a lot though.

Ouch, I bet that wasn’t fun cutting up trees with a bum shoulder. I’ve been having a lot fun at Yukon lately.
Keep on tractoring!
Like Yukon acres our place is an hour and half drive if the beavers have not built a dam you can drive right to the camp but if they are busy you to use a boat to cross the river then walk about two miles carrying all your gear which sucks
Your bringing her up right!
Jon great letting us know whats going on in the tractor glad your having m g some luck with the beavers go to see the family
God Bless All
PaK
Love the video Jon , and always love tractors .
Thanks Leo, this one had a little bit of everything! Hope all is well.
Keep on tractoring!
Nice video. Wonderful kidlets. Thank you.
Thank You all and God Bless!
I’m Very Glad to hear you’re Finally getting Rid of that Beaver, once and for all. Sell the Hide. 👍
I found someone to take the hide so I didn’t need to deal with it.
Keep on tractoring!

3 times the auto steer. Wow those are some very expensive options. This TH-cam thing brings all us Kubota crazies together.
Keep on tractoring!
You had me so much into auto steer. That was great! 😂😁
Oh good, glad I could trick ya. It’s a great system.
Keep on tractoring!
We have lots of aspen on our property. Once they die, they rot rather quickly. Curious to see what you are going to do with the trees. 👍
Yes, they don’t last long on the ground. However I’ve seen log houses built with aspen so it all depends how they are processed.
Keep on tractoring!
That auto-steer gag got me good...hilarious
Thanks! That sure was a fun day. Glad you enjoyed it.
Keep on tractoring!
@@ritterjon i just bought a new kubota today...joining the club!
@@davidparadis490 That’s awesome! Welcome to the club!

Awesome now I have to trap a woodchuck under my porch
Good luck to you!
Keep on tractoring!
The problem with autosteer is that they grow up and have little autosteers of their own. Then you don't have autosteeer.
Yea, they grow up way to fast! I’m going to need a bigger tractor with a buddy seat pretty soon.
Keep on tractoring!
Not only that,your life depends on it !
Never seen a bever out of water before
I'm hoping you'll get a chance to see some more. 😁
Keep on tractoring!
That beaver is good eating

I'm had problems with the raccoons on stuff at night
You made me laugh with the auto steering

One day auto steer will take off without you.
I’m afraid you’re probably right. 😳
Keep on tractoring!
My auto steer is now 20 and moved out. Good memories of family time in the woods. Good riddance Mr. Beaver. He sure was large.
I believe that will be an expensive auto steer! I have three older models😂
