Heading to the Deere Dealer Friday...

couchsachraga · Feb 2, 2012

Yup - I'm already planning that for my rake. I'll need to figure out how to set it up for the blade (offset is easy - I even already have a cylinder that will work. Angle I'll need to figure out)

I wouldn't want to have to get out of that nice comfy cab, now would I?

What's the ETA

Got to be getting close!

couchsachraga · Mar 19, 2012

Almost 2 months down... and 2 more to go!

Ordered Jan. 29th, should be here at the dealer around May 18th...and they expect to need it for a week or so to prep it and install the "dealer installed" options.

I've let everyone know they can thank me for the early spring - usually we have 3-5 feet of snow on the ground still, and all the snow is gone and the frost is going out of the ground as well.

It's going to be a long <tractorless> spring for me!

Whoa, I didn't expect it to be that long. Dealer isn't going to let you have a loaner while you wait? I don't know if I could manage that time without a tractor:laughing:

Hehe, I'm managing this 3 month wait, Just another month for mine. I'm getting really excitied for this 4520 too, just as much as my 6430 Premium. I wish I had a loaner, but I have plenty in my shed to play with. Its too cold out to go out and play anyways.

I don't have an excavator, and I want one. How about each one of you guys pitch in 100 dollars, Then I can afford a Hitachi Zaxis 135 LC

Do you have any pictures of that nice truck of yours?

I can supply the pictures, but not the $$$

Hopefully you don't start wanting one of these too...

Last picture is towing a buddy through a parade for his business. Truth be told, it won 1st:thumbsup:

Oh so your not giving me any money?

How much did this truck cost you? You should take the lens off the mirror where the mirror clearance light is and add some funky quad flashing LEDs in there. It would be sick at night. I hope you have a Allison Automatic in that truck, I have that transmission in my Hino! Its a great transmission. Are those 3 inch stacks?
