Thank you. The chain box and tool box are from ITC quick attach.

Yeah, it’s an odd thing. The 5 series had such a poor turning radius that it wasn’t a good choice for our place. It’s 62 acres of trees so lots of turning when cutting grass as opposed to somewhere with wide open fields. The 5 series didn’t have a loader on it either so it seemed to handle...

I haven’t done much mowing with it since I bought it during winter but it seems to do great with my 72” land pride finish mower and my 72” bad boy rotary cutter. I don’t see why it wouldn’t work equally well with the bush hog mower, even at 84”. Only thing I may do during grass cutting time...

Thanks. I wish on the lottery. That said, it hasn’t cost as much as you’d think since I traded in so much stuff. Two tractors, a trailer, bunch of implements and a ranger all traded. To be honest, I was quite surprised at the trade values received. I think the dealer needed to move some...

No clue on the second remote. I ended up letting the dealer install both the rear port and 3rd function. They picked up one week and returned it the following week. Was a very long week. LOL

And last up for right now, I traded in my 2021 Polaris Ranger single seater for a 2023 Kioti K9 2440 double seater. Big change going from a peppy 60hp gas engine to a slow, sluggish 24hp diesel engine. LOL. But, I like having it share the diesel with the two tractors, and I like being able to...

Thanks for the continued replies. I’ve spent a busy few weeks continuing to expand my orange collection. :) Traded in a bunch of implements that were either too small, too large, or just old and unused. Also traded a 12’ extra utility trailer (had 3 trailers). Garnered enough credit to pick...

Thanks. It was real simple. The NS was the model they had on the lot. However, after lots of reading it looks like some of the NX models may have been having issues so from that standpoint I guess I’m glad to have the NS. :)

Got a chance to add a few of my new items this week. Added one of the ITC grill guards. Added a tilt cylinder from Michigan Iron. The top link cylinder will sit in the box until I get the second rear port installed. And I installed 3 of my 4 sets of lights. Driving lights in the front...

May have already been posted but Harry Epstein carry’s a bunch of USA made tools. https://www.harryepstein.com/

If you have a use for one, and have the funds, go for it. :) We haven’t used ours as much as we planned yet, but will be doing so more this coming year. We did add a 7’ extension since this first picture. I’ve so far milled some oaks and some wild cherry. And, I’ve used the oak to build...

That’s what I’m planning to do.

That is one of the features I really like also. It also has the cylinders and hoses protected fairly well. Would love to have had one of the 66” Wicked ones but it would have cost me at least $2k more than this one. Considering my usage for occasional cleanup around our property, I’m thinking...

Got the grapple today but can’t use it until my Kioti 3rd function kit comes in. I sure hate waiting. LOL. Hopefully won’t be too long. Picked up a skid steer mount plate that has a 2” hitch receiver on it. Plan to use this to create a mount for the Saber Samurai once it comes in. Should...

I finally pinned down the type of grapple I wanted (root rake style) and located a nicely priced one with my dealer made by CID as their skid steer medium duty 66” grapple rake. Orange one pictured below. I really like the style and features. They are supposed to Hold it for me till this...

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I ended up making a decision and running with it. I asked my dealer to order the Kioti OEM 3rd function kit. Honestly, even though it is mounted lower than the WR Long setup, I like the Kioti replacement control lever knob setup better. The other thing I...

Anyone happen to have the current OEM Kioti 3rd function installed on their tractor? (Preferably NS model, but they may all be the same) I’m trying to figure out if the OEM Kioti kit allows for operation of Curl functions and 3rd function at the same time, or does it only do one or the other...

Thank you. I feel blessed. Spent a recent weekend putting that extension on just for parking a tractor next to the backhoe.

Yeah, me too. Here is its actual parking spot.

Yes on the rear view mirror inside the cab. No on the 3rd function. I can add it and will look to do that sooner or later. The picture with the tag was at the dealer. The picture on the trailer was delivery. I didn’t see the tag so they must have removed it or it blew off in route. LOL. :)

Thanks Dave. The dealer didn’t have a DK in stock for me to compare, but we did look at a CK3520 with cab and I was surprised at how much bigger the NS cab was. I wanted something that could handle larger tasks like our 5045e, but still nimble enough to mow around our trees like the 2032r...

Just took delivery of my new 2023 NS4710 with cab. Pretty excited to not have to fight with horse flies, yellow flies and bees/wasps anymore while cutting grass. Traded in two JD tractors in the process. A 5045e and a 2032r.
