REALLY NICE TRACTOR///

I've already purchased bucket hooks, I will weld those on myself. I'm going to leave the tires as is for now. I don't have alot of side hilly stuff to worry about. I have talked with the dealer about it though.

If you don't have hills then no need to widen.

Very nice looking tractor.

Congratulations! Great lookin' machine and you've got it really well set up (at least it will be after the dealer finishes..)!

Well I guess you will have time to wax it then!

I wish I had time to wax my tractor... I made time to wash my pickup a couple weeks ago, it had been at least a year (much harder to wash after that length of time).

Thanks for all the kind words.

My loader finally came in. The dealer installed some of the brackets but haven't attached the loader yet. I noticed there was quite a bit of paint rubbed off on one side of the loader. I'll be curious how the dealer fixes it.
We are finally starting to get some warm weather on the horizon. They are forecasting 70+ temp's next week. I'm excited to get some seat time mowing.

Are you going to get bucket teeth as well? Deere makes bolt on teeth. The bucket already has holes pre-drilled as seen here:



These are the teeth



And here they are installed. They come off real easy too.



Congrats on the tractor, btw! And the loader. You're going to love the H260, you can move cars with it you know...

I didn't realize those holes were for bucket teeth or that they were even available. I thought they were for a removable cutting edge, good info. I won't be buying those for now. I did buy the forklift with global attach though. I saw the pic of you picking up the car after I ordered them. I felt much better about the purchase after seeing that pic., great picture.

I'm in the same boat as you, my new tractor is sitting on the dealers lot waiting for the extras to come in and for the dealer to install them, I warned the dealer that he might see a lot more of me cause of the excitement, he told me to take the manuals and read up on operating everything and he will give me the key so I can come by and take it for a spin anytime I want. Thanks for the pics I was curious how the teeth were mounted. That's unreal that it lifted that car like that (makes oil changes a pice of cake, lol.)
