( IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT U KEEP THE GRIN OFF YOUR FACE so that people think u are working not playing /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif )

Well, I can have a grin for a little while. the pic is of me on it about 5 min after delivery and just before the clouds opened up. This is bumming me out that I've had my toy for a day and can't play with it. (NO WISE COMMENTS) because the yard is too soft right now. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif Happy to have it just the same. I'll post more pics when I put it to use.

Oh, about the backhoe. It is identicle to the 1440 in every way. They hadn't delivered the last one they had yet and mine was parked right next to it when I got to the dealer. So if your dealer says he can't get a backhoe for your 1914, tell him to get one of these.

Nice looking set up. Your loader bucket look larger and heavier duty than most buckets for that size of tractor. Do you know what the capacity it is?

Thanks. It's a 54" wide bucket. In the manual, they use the 48 for specs. It's listed as a 9cu/ft so this is a bit larger. The loader will pick up 850lbs with a breakout force of 1620lbs. Should do about everything I'll need to do. I emailed kioti about the capacity. I'll post it when I get it.
