I have been reading others posts for many months, but I am new to this whole TBN deal. I am considering purchasing a 5240 or 5740 HSTC tractor. I live in Oklahoma City and was wondering if anyone has any experience with any dealers in this area. Or any dealers in the surrounding states. Any help with dealer information good or bad would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Brian

I can't help with the dealers but I love your pic! I've gone over the other way but I was able to fix it myself, I've only seen it a couple of times.

Keep the bucket lower. Preferably load it backwards. And if it starts to go over don't do what I did--I tensed up and pushed forward on the sticks causing it to go on over. Pull back on the sticks if it starts to go over backwards. Needless to say that was quite scary. We hooked a chain over the top of the bucket and pulled it over forward.
