What I see looks good so far, could you post more pix of the operators station, and 3 pt area? There are no good pix of either on their website, I am just curious as to the layout. Is it a "glideshift" I thought I saw a shuttle on the left side of the column. ? Maybe some of the underhood area to see about serviceability? Enquiring minds want to know. Thanks:)

I purchased a 6' box blade and a 6' bush/hog (or shredder mower)

Wow thats a nice rig :thumbsup:

When mowing with a trailing shredder/mower it is easier to swing around close to fences etc.

I will get some pics of the other stuff soon. Right now I have to go take a shower to get ready to go to the neighbors.

Nice Tractor RocknRod. I think you will be impressed with your LS just like me. It doesnt look like the 4010 has the telescoping links on the lift arms like my 7010 does. That quick hitch will be great to help hook up that bushhog. I just raise my bucket up above the fence so I can get in close when maneuvering with the FEL. You can never tell when you may want to lift something or move something, so, I just leave mine on all the time.

I took off the loader yesterday. Drove it around.
Turned the bucket face/opening down to the ground. Came right off the pins.
Put it back on was strange, but I got it done :)
I went around the property with the bucket on, I guess it will work. SOOO easy to back up with the shuttle shift.:thumbsup:
I am called and purchased a set of Pat's easy change units with the spreader. I really do not like the Quick Hitch. But thats just me.:eek:

I put a pair on my Yanmar of the type that you weld on above the ball, They are basically just block of steel with a U shape with the U side nearer the tractor a couple inches longer than the outside leg that you just put a pin in to hold the implement on. They semi-work OK. I have lost a couple of pins out of them when bushhogging and had the bushhog climb up the tractor tire a little before I could stop and now I just use the balls which is just a little more difficult if you get straight on your equipment. I think the Pats quick hitch would be lots better with a more secure lock, however I think if I had a new tractor like yourself, I would invest a few more bucks and see if I couldnt find a pair of telescoping links that I could totally replace the lift arms with. The Pats are over $200 and I would think for not more than double that, you could buy telescoping ball links for the lift arms. Either replace the whole arm or buy them and weld them on your existing lift arms. I know I could make a set of Kioti arms work or NH and MF also has them on their 40-50 HP models. The arms could even be slightly longer than yours and still work (I wouldnt go shorter due to wheel clearances) and at most you may have to drill in a new hole location for the lift rod connections and hopefully with some careful measuring and checking with different mfg. you can find one that will be just right so you could just unpin and repin the new one.
