Hey guys - sorry been busy on the new rig - 15hrs on the clock in 8 days
Crazysnake - it was awesome seeing that truck coming down the driveway. Like a lot of the guys here I did my research and looked around and waited on the wife and looked some more - about 3 years from start to delivery. I was really excited to get her on the property and see how all that research would turn out in the real world. Well - so far I have been much more than satisfied - I love the 4 ft brush hog which I feel is a good fit for this size tractor and for my property - don't think I would go 5ft but that is just my opinion - the rake has worked very well spreading gravel on the driveway but I am going to add the gauge wheels. The tractor runs smoothly and is very comfortable - it is well powered for size and in 4 wheel drive with rear tires filled and ballast box I am planted and very stable using the front loader to lift to capacity. The heavy duty 61inch bucket is excellent and I am happy I got the toothbar put on - haven't wanted to take it off and change to the cutting edge yet. I find it is nice for picking up rocks and logs b/c you can get the teeth under and then roll them back on the bucket. I got the 12 volt grease gun which works great for keeping things lubed. Overall I couldn't be happier - I suppose I should move to owning and operating at some point huh guys! It is hard to move out of Buying / Pricing - I'll try put together a full review if Chris doesn't beat me to it hahah
Cheers
