Official nickname 'The Beast" is home ;-)

Made it home safe with the RX6620 TLB today....checked it over multiple times, played with the backhoe and the grapple, took them both off and put the bucket on- dealer sent me home with all the filters and fluids for the 50 hour and they did a great job setting it up with a WR Long 3rd function and 3 rear remotes (1 regular, 1 detent, 1 float). TODAY WAS A GOOD DAY

Final preps...they also kept the grill guard to weld some expanded metal on (with matching paint) to protect it when I'm grappling...the bump in power is amazing (from 44hp to 66hp) and the hydraulic shuttle is going to take a little getting used to after having a hydrostat. I've been debating filled tires vs just having some weight on the back so we'll see about that. It seems very well put together based on first impressions. I am happy to be in the "pack" now...also...Happy Easter and thanks for the input and replies. Sam

Congrats ! Nice machine!

Congratulations. It is a Beast.
I wish Kioti had self leveling buckets on the smaller tractors.

Nice looking tractor, enjoy!

Very nice. If you do load the rears, just be sure the downriggers can support that additional weight when you have them down and are using the backhoe. I have mine loaded and there were are no issues. It actually stabilizes the tractor more against the backhoe in my opinion.

Kinda comparing apples to oranges, I think.

The largest hoe available for the Kioti has an 8.5' digging depth
Your M62 has a 14' digging depth.
Yours is a dedicated TLB.

I would LOVE to have an M62!

It actually isnt dedicated. I can take the backhoe off in about 10 min. That said my BH weights 2190 lbs no bucket. I am sure it is heavier than a 8.5 ft version, but the recommendation to check downrigger strength is still valid in my opinion.

That's a fine looking machine. I have a 7320 with 450 hours on it. We absolutely love it. Works like a dream.

Thank you sir! That's good to hear about your 7320...
