My NX6010

[MinnesotaEric]

Painted my new SpeeCo CAT2 Quick Hitch Chevy engine block orange.

It gives my neighbors something new to look at.

I took delivery of the NX6010 today.

Here is the hero shot of my F150 hauling it.

I don't know why Kioti claims only 2 spool valves fit. Three fit just fine on the cab-on NX series.

And of course, the cab has three holes for mounting the valve cable actuated levers.

And here is another hero shot of my F150 because hauling 10,000 pounds with a half-ton is cool.

Very nice Eric! Sure hope to see footage of your tractor, and other equipment in action on your development project. Maybe even show your progress with your lot(s) as you get them ready to market. lt190b

The house the tractor is in front of right now needs to go on the market ASAP but I don't have anywhere to put my stuff.

The order of things goes: take and pass the MN broker examination, list the city house, while selling city house, pimp out tractor with third function and other stuff. Move tractor to new development, clear land as able. Sell house. Before closing build new garage on new development and load it up with spore from city house. What doesn't fit, bring to lake house. Lake house already filled with city house spore, push harder to make fit. Live in lake house while building new Eric house on development. Subdivide development, build more houses and sell them. Retire and jibber-jabber with friends at the local social club.

Made a little video.

Sadly, I've two problems. There first is that FEDEX dripped oil all over my driveway and is now paying for new sealcoat (the delivery truck must have had a blown main seal) but the sealcoater is coming Thursday and so I cannot unload the tractor.

The second problem, is that I cannot buy liability commercial insurance in MN. So long as the tractor sits on the trailer, it is fully insured under and auto policy, the moment it leaves no insurance.

My trailer queen.

Nice tractor Eric!

if it weighs 10 thousand pound you need to 2 chains and binders on the back. anything that weighs 10 or more has to have 4 chains and 4 binders

One 3/8 Grade 70 chain wrapped three times around the back. It is all I could do at the time.

At any-rate, I do not like how the dealer suggested we tie down the rear. Thursday, I'm going to go look for a D ring to slide onto the trailer pin in order to provide a better tie-down point and I'm either going to cut now 20' chain into smaller bits or buy a couple of smaller chains.

FWIW, the tractor ballasted weighs 7120 pounds. The trailer 2800 pounds.

Unloaded the NX6010 to begin sizing things up.

Yanked the seat out. This hose must go!

On a quest to find the end of the hose.

Eric, looks like your garage is full of stuff. You're not going to leave that new tractor out in the rain, I hope.

I'm curious about your trailer. Looks like it's a pretty good fit, and the tractor has plenty of space between the trailer fenders. Yet I'm guessing your width, sidewall to sidewall, with the R-4s is about 78-79" inches, isn't it? My NX4510 has the Titan R-3s, and it is about 85" sidewall to sidewall. I'd been thinking I'll need to get a deckover if I want to haul it around locally. But maybe a trailer like yours would work.
