L5740 Arrived Today!

Foozle · 04-25-2008, 10:02 PM

Well, after several weeks of researching, posting threads and discussing in PMs, I ordered and received my tractor and most of the attachments. Still waiting on the backhoe and flail mower, but here are pics of what I've got so far. My first project is to prepare my gardens by moving around 69 yards of top soil with my FEL and tiller, and I got a decent start on that today.

Thanks again to all who weighed in with advice and other comments. Enjoy the pics. I'll post more when my other equipment gets in.

Whee!!! That's a great start..... now, we wanna see you get some dirt on all that stuff!

It's green in your world.... and orange for your tractor.... and you even have a building to put stuff in.... I even see a 5 gallon fuel can... it doesn't get any better than that!!

Well, I guess this is the last we hear from you for weeks and weeks... who can post on TBN when his tools are calling

Sweet set up.... tractor and property.

Let us know how you like the flail mower as well.

Even came with hooks on the bucket.. Now don't go letting anyone borrow it.

Sweet setup!

I like the heavy-duty Woods GHT72. That should never break!

Good on you!

Love that new tractor look!

Caroni Flail mower arrived this week. Seems to work pretty well, I just need to get the height adjusted properly and such. Bubbled some oil out the release valve, but I'm hearing that is common.

That entire setup is a nice looking tractor. Glad to see that you are enjoying the tractor.

Very nice rig you have there Dave/Foozle.

What's the difference between a Finish & a Flail mower, do they both cut grass about the same, is one type better than another?
