4410 Loader and Mower

[JEP]

Nice setup, I have the std bucket at the moment, 4-1 is down the list of things to get.

Your tires look larger than mine, did you get the oversized ones? I was advised by the dealer that the MMM will hit (or come awlfully close) to the larger tires. Just a thing to watch.

I usually take my time removing the attachments, I always seem to double check or I forget the sequence of things.

This tractor make a hell of a lawn mower /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif . For deeper grass, flip up the deflector so the cut grass does not build up and you can really move. Just watch for rocks and other debris so you don't hit anyone or thing.

Jimmo, Would like to see some 4 in 1 pictures as to how the two halves of the bucket come together. I am thinking of buying one. Have heard of edges of bucket bending if you clamp too hard trying to hold, say a tree in the bucket.

Sorry I can't send any pics of the 4in1 bucket as I've still got a week till I get back to MO. I'll take some pics then.
When I got the tractor the dealer had the tires loaded because of the FEL which I thought was a good thing. As it turns out I decided after 1 day that loaded tires are not good for mowing. Just too much compaction. After I drained the tires through the valve stem I laid them over and the bead broke and the left over water/alcohol drained out. Used a chinch strap around the tire to set the bead and after 15 minutes of pumping with my 12 volt pump I was back in business.
As far as I know the tires are standard size. Also the dealer said there was no "stance" diferance when mounting the tires. I measured the hub to rim size and there is a 2.5 inch diferance. So I mounted the tires on the other side for a wider stance. The only drawback to this is the valve stem is on the inside. There was a question about weather this would work with the 72 in MMM. There is no problem, plenty of clearance. I mowed the 6 acre pasture just to make sure. Great mowing machine.
I supose a ballast box and air compressor are next.
