I read the following post, and the comment on the tires struck me;
I'm getting a 1533 w/ the R4's in a couple weeks. I have always assumed that the tire choices were either R1, R3, R4 etc. I recalled this post specifically calling out large R4's after coming across the pictures HERE supposedly showing small R4's on a 1533. What's going on that I don't understand? Do some 1533's come with small R4's? There will be some words and last minute shuffling if my 1533 comes with small R4's as depicted in the linked photos, not that there's anything wrong with them... It's just not what I'm expecting.
Hello! I've been reading the forums here for a while and really appreciate all the good information I've been able to gather. I'm looking at purchasing a new tractor and really like the looks of the MF 1540. I had originally been looking at the 1533, but it appears the price increase is not bad for 7 extra hp. I'm considering the following options:
-1525 loader (unless there's a better alternative) with the skid steer quick attach bucket
-Large R4 tires
-Power Shuttle 12x12 Transmission
-1580 backhoe
Any changes you would make?
Does anyone have a good estimate of the price I should expect from a dealer?
I have quite a bit of experience with an 8N Ford, but I would like to add a tractor with 4wd with a loader to the shed. My main uses would be light loader work and light to moderate bush hogging. The backhoe is optional right now but with 0% for 72 months it is very tempting to add!
Thanks,
SF
