Enjoy it, but be careful.
You have a LOT more tractor there than you're used to. It can tear up and break things that you've never even thought about.

It is a lot more tractor, it's taking some getting used to but lots of little chores is slowly easing me into it. I agree that it can break things that I've never thought about, I was pushing down fences and it pushed a huge post that was quite new with no effort at all.

LOL dont let the Deere play with the Kubota. I don't think the kubota will survive if it gets in the grapple according to your pic.

The kubota wanted to leave when it saw the Deere enter the yard, the Deere had bigger teeth, rofl.

Get some major ballast on the rear. A friend of ours has the same tractor with an 84" bucket and can't seem to get enough ballast, he has the tires loaded and 3 wheel weights on each wheel. I told him he needs a ballast box too.

Great looking tractor BTW.

My rears are filled as well and so far it has worked for what I needed to lift, would like to get or build a ballast box though just to be safe.

Nice looking setup. That grapple looks like a beast. It would sure be handy.

Very nice tractor with plenty of hp for the frame size, I think you will be well pleased with it. Congratulations.

Thank you, it is a beast, the dealer was a little worried cause the grapple was stronger than he thought and might be too much power for the tractor. I wasn't sure how much use of the grapple I would get but now that I got it I don't know how I would have ever gotten along without it, it's so versatile (one minute it's clamping misc stuff in the bucket to the next it's pulling a chain attached to a vehicle to the next it's stacking big square bales.)

Thank you, it is a lot of HP for its size, I've yet to find a chore that uses half the HP, I am very pleased with it.

Yes, very nice. How is it speced out? You have the delux cab, 24/24 trans, remotes?

Thank you, It's the deluxe cab with air ride seat, buddy seat, deluxe stereo (has hands free Bluetooth and iPod connections.), sun roof, three rear remotes, fender 3 point control, 16/16 transmission with forwards and reverse on the steering wheel (I forget what the technical term for it is), rear fender extensions, front stationary fenders, strobe light, horn, hydraulic quick connects for loader and for grapple, 540e/540/1000 PTO, hydraulic top link, security kit, fuel tank armor, cold weather kit, telescopic mirrors, inside rear view mirror, loader with grapple. Plus lots of attachments to go with it and other features that I'm not sure if its standard or optional, lol. I told the dealer I wanted it decked out and he did just that.

He sure did! That should rate a Christmas Card from him, I would think!

Very nice bunch of stuff you got there! Enjoy it.

Lol, I've never gotten a card from a dealer, that would be a new experience with me. Although he is about to get two more contracts from me next week (3 point drag harrow and finishing mower.) so he will be grinning from ear to ear.
