Thank you. I'm pretty excited as I have been doing all the work on my 40 acres by hand for the last year and my back isn't holding up to it very good. I will defiantly share a picture of 2 or 10 lol of it when I get it.

Can anyone tell me why I cant post pictures on here? I have tried using my cell phone (that's what I took the pictures with) and when that didn't work I waited until I got back to work and emailed them to myself and tried again using the computer and I still cant post a picture.

It was noted a Minimum # posts required before photo allowance? Think 10 should be adequate?
I took delivery of my tractor on Friday. As of right now I have just over 23 hoursnon it already and I’m in contact with the dealer because something isn’t right with the hydraulics. The loader will drift off pretty rapidly actually and the backhoe isn’t acting right and it also drifts off. The backhoe just acts like it has no power and the loader struggles to get the front tires just barely off the ground. The dealer wen out in his yard and tried another one and it popped the front tires off the ground with ease. So now we wait to see what they are going to do about it. So far they have been very prompt at talking with me and sending out a service truck to see what they can figure out but at this point they are trying to contact the engineers to see what they think the problem could be.
I was only at 9 post when I asked that question it put me at 10 then I was able to post my pictures so maybe 10 is the minimum.

Well it sure looks pretty. With only 23 hours I would simply require him to replace it or undo the deal. DO NOT let him start the long process of, "I'm sure we can get this fixed up." without also including right from the start what the alternatives you will have if it isn't right by a certain date. And I'd make the date days or weeks, not months. This should be part of his pre-sale checkout.
On most tractors the hydraulics will throw you around hard enough to make using a seatbelt a real consideration. Particularly the hoe.
And to all of you, from an oldster. Before you sign a sales contract, mark it up so that it is fair. Most sales contracts start out to be completely in the dealer's favor and the only way I can figure that makes sense is they expect you to mark it up and initial (both). For example, make sure that it specifies who is responsible for transporting the tractor during and after the warranty period. Make it so that time in the shop is deducted from the warranty time. If there are major events like engine, tranny, or hydraulics that have to be fixed during warranty - those things need to have their own special warranty dating from when they are installed.
All of these things are just basic fair practice. In a perfect world these are the kinds of things that would protect you and the dealer both if it went to arbitration, so might as well get it in writing before taking possession. Please protect yourself as well as the dealer has. Please. It only makes sense, and taking the time to do this is the only way I know of to get us back to the kind of fair practice we had when the people we bought things from were neighbors and friends.

I have no idea how your loader and back hoe are plumbed as far as the hydraulics.
I do know that when I put our little 3 pt hoe on my tractor I use my rear remote with detents,
and when I latch that remote in the detent to run the hoe, my loader doesn't work, my 3 pt doesn't work
and my hydraulic top link which uses another of the rear remotes doesn't work.
To use my other hydraulics I have to center my remote for the hoe, operate my other users,then detent the hoe remote to use the hoe
and repeat as needed. If I rev the tractor up my other hydraulics will do a little but not much.
This is a feature that open center hydraulics do have.
Long story short in your application is one of your remotes active when you are having a problem?

The hoe is hooked up through a set of remotes on the back but the problem is there if the hoe is hooked up or not. I have tried just turning off the remote that the hoe is hooked to and I have took the hoe completely off the tractor.
