Happiness is a new tractor...

[CurtC]

Time to switch focus from Buying / Pricing, to Owning / Operating. ;-)

Coulter Family Gallery :: Tractor

The wife, who's never driven an automatic anything in her entire life, aside from a rental car or two, likes the Hydro...

Thanks for all the great threads over the years folks!

Well, well, well, looks like you knew what everyone was gonna say, and posted pics. Congrats, and have some fun - I mean get some work done.

Nice Pictures!

Looks like you already got a list of things to do with the new tractor. I bet you will be looking for a sunshade as soon as that sun gets higher.

Yes it is! Congrats!

Just a note. Be careful picking up stuff with that bucket curled. If it's to heavy, you may bend the top of the bucket.

Two observations:
1) The good looking operator appears to have "her" seat belt on, while the other operator appears to have "forgotten" his.
2) As the DW now knows how easy and fun it is to operate the "toy", you may have reduced your seat time

It's a great machine. Welcome to the pack, and post some pics when she gets dirty.

Now..... you have to figure a way to convince your good wife that... TRACTOR = WORK

I think you've already blown it, shes gonna look at you out on the machine and think youre having too much fun...

Nice rig. I wish there were a kioti dealer over here, that is a lovely looking set up you got there.

Good advice on using the bucket to lift, something to think about, as others here have done, I welded a piece of c-channel to top of my bucket and then my chain hook to the C-channel. Can't tell from the pictures if you've got the c-channel or not.

Real nice looking machine.

Next time how about lifting up something with the loader that is too heavy to lift by hand, geeze you look like you could lift two of those trees. At 5 foot 6 inches, I need the loader to take out the trash.

Hope you and the misses have many safe hours of seat time.

The bucket has a large piece of square steel tubing running under the top lip, edge to edge. It isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

It's amazing the amount of work you can get done with these machines.

Can't live without one.

Have fun.

Oh, yeah, don't forget your service intervals, particularly changing motor oil and filter per manufacturer's recommendations.
