If your heart is set on a dk50 cab there are not a lot to be had. It took me quite a bit of searching to find one at a price I was willing to pay.

Can I ask what you paid ?
Do you think your tractor would operate a. 7' tiller in heavy grass?

I paid $35,000 cab fel and backhoe, I do not have any experience with a tiller, but so far it has more than enough power for my needs.

If it was me I'd mow that heavy grass as short as possible before running a tiller through it. The DK50SE HST has just shy of 40 PTO horsepower, so it would depend on what the tiller was rated for. My guess is you'd probably fare better with a 6' tiller.

I paid $29,750 for my DK50SE HST cab with FEL, a second rear remote, engine heater, and delivered to my farm free.

37.5hp PTO for anybody counting.

Heater core in the roof? Next time I pop a hood, I'll look for that.

Thanks!

Eric, do you know what both the front and rear axle weight capacities are for your NX6010? Also what type of final drive does it have?

I have not seen or found and loading specs in the service manual. The final drive on the rear is a spur gear set up (also called a bull gear) which is what everybody in the class uses with the exception of John Deere, who uses a planetary final drive on their 4066R.

I thought the MF1759 used planetary final drive.

MinnesotaEric · Apr 9, 2015

It has been a year since I looked and I had HST machines in mind. Anyway, I had the MF1758 in mind, but I think you're right, the gear MF1759 has a planetary.

Where's TSO? I bet he'd know off the top without looking.
