Sure thing Randall. Here's a shot when I just got it home on my trailer.
And here's a shot from in the shop.
I think it has hill climbing potential!
Yep it happened.
That is a really nice looking machine. Looks like a beast all right.:thumbsup:

Lol. Nah, I really miss my 4700. Over the last 12 years, mine never let me down once. I wanted to move up to a cab and a buddy seat for the little ones, and little more "oomph" to boot for grapple work and running a 9' cutter, and I think this tractor will deliver. Still waiting for the FEL to show up at the dealer. Hopefully this week or next.

Yeah, I went back and looked at the underside pic you posted...I didn't think it was anywhere near 55 gallons from the side pics.
That's pretty convenient...a heck of a lot more convenient then having to climb up on the operator's station (as I have to with my 4400 Deere).

Very nice rig! Still waiting to hear a report on the new tractor and big stump grinder from you. I sure like the stuff you choose to buy. :thumbsup:

That was my main gripe with my 4700 as well. It sucked climbing up there with the 6 gallon fuel tank, especially with the FEL on. Those "safe" new fuel containers poor so slow as well, which only made matters worse.
