First Tractor

[Msamt]

Are you glad your tractor doesn't have to go through the pressure washer with his tractor and be embarrassed?

Now even more embarrassed, haven't even gotten it dirty since new! At least the woods are almost dry enough to traipse around all the tops the loggers left me!

Oh and since this is in the buying/pricing section.... $21195 for tractor with loader and loaded tires with free delivery. $560 for 2nd remote installed. $3300 for grapple installed with hoses from rear remote. they also put in an extra set of hydraulic couplers by loader hoses so I can remove loader and leave grapple hoses in place. Only thing that got me a bit ticked off was it took 4 weeks to get after getting approved since we had to wait for the grapple but its not the dealers fault.

You might want to look at this thread, where I lengthened the SCV control rod.

[snip]The dealer told me that when the distributer delivered it he said to make sure and tell me "Do not to dig into the ground with lower tines. Just skim across the top to gather things before clamping. Also DO NOT DIG OUT ROCKS, at all." I kinda just looked at the guy a bit funky thinking "how the heck am I going to destroy that thing? If I dig into the ground is it just going to fall apart?[snip]

Hmm, that does sound a bit odd, considering how beefy that thing is, and it's hp rating. Do you think he might have been concerned about damaging the hydraulic lift arm cylinders on your tractor, rather than the grapple tines? I've heard of an operator yanking the rods out of his lift arm cylinders by kedging his bucket's tooth bar into the dirt and powering forward on the tractor with too much force. I suppose it could happen with a big, dug-in grapple as well.

Threepoint, I never even thought about that. That could be what he ment, I was just too excited to ask why or how id break it once I saw it and went into the "kid in a candy store" mode.
tman1020, Thanks. The pics do look pretty cool. Kind of looks like its "eating" the mower haha. Almost like "Who needs this little mower when you can have a Kioti DK40SE?"
