So this finally showed up Wednesday.
I had originally ordered an NX4510 Open Station, but after promising a 4 week delivery, then 6, then 10, we opted to go for the DK when was coming in. Dealer made me a good deal, about the same price as the NX, but now with a cab. But still not an easy acquisition. First the promised arrival date of the DK was missed. They are out of stock on the 2nd rear remote and the cruise control. Then the assembly tech lost a family member and no one else could complete the set up. So another week goes by. But the dealer offered to comp the 50hr service and include the installation of the two accessories. So that saved us a few hundred bucks.
But the fun wasn't over. I included a Woods box blade and Woods front forks. Used the forks to move some things down to a barn. Backing out of the barn I started to lose power. I look down and the temperature gauge is pegged on "H". Shut down immediately and I knew what it was. I had asked for a block heater to be included. Do you think it would have been a good idea to check the coolant level, and replace the fluid lost, when the tech popped out the freeze plug to install the block heater? Of course I had no anti-freeze handy so I just added water. Guess what else I'll be asking for at the 50hr service? Yep. Drain, flush and refill the coolant system.
Put a few hours on it yesterday. This thing has plenty of power. Move some rock and boulders. Ripped up some hard ground with the box blade. Overall very impressed with the tractor, despite the issues ordering, receiving and first use.
Wicked 60 should be here in about a month. Then we can really get started with what we bought this for: cleaning out the detritus from the logging we had done last summer.
