New 2740M

rcowan · 07-24-2008, 03:00 PM

Picked up the 2740M the other day and have been moving dirt and rocks ever since.
I'm not impressed with the manuals but the tractor is great!
I got the tractor, FEL, box and rotary cutter. I'm thinking of my justification to the wife for a hoe.

Dave at Economy Sales & Rental of Benson was great to work with. Although he was insistant that he give me the walk about as he pointed out the maintenance etc on the tractor.

Hey Stanley

I just need to ditch the ROPS (hard to roll on level ground), add a cup holder and tool box.

Thats awesome I'm going to look at it Thursday so we'll see. If you can weld or have a friend that can you can probably make your ROPS foldable by picking up a couple heavy duty hings at Home Depot and then use some slider gate latches to hold it when place when not folded. just an idea.
