I have the global system and the reason for this post was to say I like it and that this is an unexpected benefit. Glad to hear it’s normal because I like it! Thank you.

What I am trying to say is in the fully forward or near fully forward position there is some play in the loader attachment. Here’s a video with my forks attached. In the video I am moving them by hand. It’s the same with the bucket. It is not loose like this at other positions within the curl...

Hello, Only have about 45 hours of seat time with my global / euro attachment system on a 5m series tractor at this point. One thing I didn’t realize when I ordered it is how the bucket would swing freely when in the fully forward dump position. This really helps ensure all of the material is...

That’s what I thought and yet they did. I will continue to investigate.

Hello, Only have about 45 hours of seat time with my global / euro attachment system on a 5m series tractor at this point. I was using my AP12G pallet forks this weekend and something that's new to me in comparison to SSQA attachments is in the fully curled forward position the forks (and...

I’m not telling you to buy a bigger tractor. Sharing in case you’re worried about it. I bought an L6060 5 years ago and thought it was going to be way too big. Fast forward 4 years and I upgraded to a 5115M, which I thought was going to be way too big. It’s not. I love it.

I don’t think so

Where are you looking? Snow loads vary vastly across the UP. Even within a few miles can vary 50+ inches a year. Connect with locals before buying is my recommendation. I am willing to help too if desired.

I put colored zip ties on as well, with a second red tie on the cylinder return lines. Red for return felt easy to remember. So I have a blue, blue red, green, green red, brown, brown red. Makes it easy to hook implements up correctly the first time.

Thanks and sorry to hear you didn't have a good experience with your 5115m. I've had mine for around 40 hours now and it's been a huge upgrade from my Kubota L6060. It's been my experience that all tractors have problems (my Kubota did, my Deere did/does). I went with the Deere because I had a...

Thanks everyone

I guess it is pretty irrational to fear that a tractor at the top of the HP recommended range is undersized for the attachment. Too much thinking about it.

I think I am over 12k lbs with the 540m MSL loader with cutting edge and R34 rear Nokian snow tires filled with rim guard. I also have two sets of wheel weights on the rear. I believe the road boss 7’ is 7 feet of cutting edge. Thanks for the tip on draft control. It sounds like you all are...

Hi all, Going to purchase either the commercial 7' or 8' road boss grader to go behind my 5115M. The website lists the following for the specs and I'm having a tough time making my decision. The rear wheels on the tractor are set to 82" exterior to exterior, so I think the 7 footer would cover...

Thanks I’ve been using a polyeura good for -15F on the blower and a HD lithium complex 3% moly good for -15F on the tractor and loader.
