:D After a year of waiting for the cab model to arrive I went to see it at the dealers. Love at first sight. Got a very good deal on the trade so I went for it. It will have the KL451 loader, duel remotes, R4 tires and be setup to mount my KB2375 back hoe.
Now I have to learn a little patience because it will take about 2 weeks for the under frame to be shipped and mounted.
Then it's back to Nelson at WR Long to get the diverter for the grapple.
Now the cold New England snow won't be such a pain when blowing it out of the driveway and bush hogging in the 90 plus heat won't be put off to another day.

Yee Pee

Congratulations, you should be set for whatever nature throws at you.
The AC is quite comfortable at even the lowest setting and when it's not quite hot enough to use it you can prop open both doors and the back window and have nice air flow through the cab.
Visibility out the back is excellent with the rear view mirror and the two big side mirrors. A CD player would have been nice instead of the casette, I am now in the process of digging out our old casette tapes.
I'm anxious to hear what you think of the noise level in the cab, especially after you've used it for 20 or 30 hours. Good Luck.

Mornin Al,
Hey thats great!!! Sounds like a real nice setup. Did you get it from Moores Corner in Granville ? I will be up for the holiday, maybe I can stop by and see it ?

Hi Scotty
Yep, thats where it is right now. They have to change the tires to R4's mount the loader, and install the scond rear remote. Looks like quite q machine. If it's anywhere near as trouble frre as the 30 has been I'll be real happy.
Things good in the south (Wells)? :D

Mornin Al,
How long you figure Moores will have it ? Im always running over to True Value for this that and the other thing and it wouldnt take but a minute to stop over there!

When that wind is blowin at force 10 with what my wife calls snow devils, and the temp is below zero your gonna like that cab :)

Maybe its not such a good idea after all, Im still saving for the barn :confused:

Talk to you soon!

Things are good in the south other than the rain !!!

I'm jealous of your new tractor.

One suggestion: skip the grapple diverter valve. If you have rear remotes just use those to run the grapple. I have mine done that way and it works just fine. Saves $$ and you don't need to muck about with your loader control stick.

I remember you saying you have yours set up that way. Do the hoses stay with the loader when you remove it?

Barry said he thought it would be about 2 weeks to get the backhoe under frame. They have everything else at the shop. It is hard waiting but come winter it will be worth it.
Rain you say.... I was in Washington DC Sunday evening when they got 7+ inches of rain in about 3 hrs. I have never seen it rain like that. They ended up closing Connecticut Ave because it was under about 3' of water and the Beltway was closed due to a mud slide. I think we have had enough for the summer.

Congratulations, I agree about the cassette tapes. I through those out a long time ago. I'm in the process of installing a docking station for my s50 Sirius Satellite Radio. I had it installed in the car last year. It's great. I can't wait to get it in the Kioti. I can't stand commercial radio.
