7040 pics

[danceswithdirt]

Had time to get a few pics today. Tried landplane behind the 7040. Had just purchased the landplane for the jd, its 6ft. It does an excellant job but I may go up to 7ft. It pulled very easy behind 7040. I am waiting on adapter plates to put on my grapple and forks so I can use them on the kub.

I see you added an extra remote on back did you get some added up front also? Couldnt tell in picture,just ask since you mentioned a grapple. Man that thing sure is clean

Congrats, very nice!

Bet you're surprised that even though there's some debris in your bucket you still got raked for a clean machine, but tell us the truth, how long did it stay there before you dumped it?

Looks like a great rig! What kind of pines trees are there in your first few pictures?

Very nice tractor.:thumbsup:

Ours hasn't been that clean in a long time.

Nothing like a new tractor, with all the bells and whistles (well, a factory cab, anyway) to create envy. At least I have yet to plow or scoop snow this winter, so the lack of a cab hasn't been so painful as in years past. I almost find the idea of getting a new tractor more fun than getting a new car, but I guess I spend more time in the car, so forget that.
Nice tractor, for sure!

I added one rear remote ,totaling two. 3rd funtion parts are on back order,arrive mid march. Dealer will install then. I added rear wiper and air suspension. Radio with cd came as part of the package Will be installing tnt. I am a fanatic about keeping vehicles and equip clean. Hard to do on a job, but if its at home it gets lots of attention.

I spend so much time cleaning,but it gets to the point I just keep the inside clean all the time and just spray off the outside when it gets really bad or it rains:laughing:. The 7040 stays outside but the 5040 stay in the barn since no cab. Up keep on two that stay out in the field everyday is just a losing battle to keep them clean but greasing, air filters,and services are not. I check fluids everyday before it gets started and everything gets greased weekly. I do need to wax fenders on 7040 before spring. Mine didnt come with radio but had speakers,I went down to wal-mart and picked up a c/d player and installed it myself. I do plan on getting a grapple but its going on the 5040. My 7040 hasnt missed a beat in the 3 yrs since bought new,has 600+hrs,has been a really good tractor. Have Fun:thumbsup:

I know it's a lot harder to keep equip that really works clean. I have a d-6n on the job that only gets washed off on occassion. Clean it out today and its dusty by the end of the day, and its cabbed in too. I'm with you on upkeep. Equip or vehicles pm is the trick to long life. My f350 starts the week clean and by the end its filthy inside and out. But I usually wash every weekend anyway. Looks good to customers.

I find an even coating of dust/debris acts as an excellent barrier to harmful ultraviolet rays.:laughing:

The pines in the first two pics are planted slash pines. The larger pines near the house are long leaf pine. We have a mix with close to 15 acres in planted pine.
