Nice looking tractor.

Nice looking tractor and congratulations!!!

I'm going to guess the dealer or previous owner may have repainted that bucket (especially since it looks like they used Armor-All on the tires), but that's NOT a problem. Buckets are made to be worked.

Enjoy the machine and use the seat belt!

Raining, eh? Well, it is a tractor!! Be careful on wet grass..slicker then greased owl sh*t!

Make good use of the rainy day...read your manual!

Congrats on the new rig! Looks good and enjoy!

Thanks !! I have been reading the books . I wish it would stop rainging so I could drive it . It was a local trade , I talked to the owner , and I know the dealer very well . So I trust both of them , I think I got a really nice tractor at a great price .

Looks good, yeah you can tell he never used the bucket for much digging as the cutting edge is still sharp, and there doesn't seem to be any dents, from hauling/pushing large rocks. Heck my old bucket looks worse than that, with 70 hours. Might have done a little backdragging with the bucket to smooth out dirt or gravel, but thats all. Heck that whole tractor is just barely broken in, and should be ready to work now. I see you are getting the same cold rain we got here this morning.. looked like it might have frozen on the trees for just a bit , and we got a bunch of small hail/sleet or ice of some kind very early this morning. Sure a far cry from last weekend, worked out in great weather, I bet you would like to play with your new purchase, but probably to darn wet and cold. Good luck with it, and let us know how it turns out..

Thanks K0ua , I looked at New Holland , Kubota , and John Deere . The Deere was the best deal , I found on a used tractor . Also buying a tractor from a dealer you know and trust 5 mins from house is a BIG bonus . They went over tractor , and did full service on it . I have been looking for about a year . I like the Deere loader is quick attach ( comes off in 2 mins ) also the bucket is quick attatch . I also love the loader joystick is next to driver seat ( in floor ) . ANY tractor is going to be better than my Ford 3000 :laughing:

Great lookin' tractor! Heavy duty bucket, too; pre-drilled for a cutting edge. You done well! Thanks for the pics.

Looks very good, glad you finally did it! I didn't think you were going to beat that deal and in essence you have a new tractor.

If this is your trailer that you plan on moving the tractor with I will show you some pics of some simple attaching eyes I installed for the front of my 4520. I suspect something like this will help with the frequent tiedown. For the rear chains I slid the drawbar out and run my chains through the hole in the casting. All the holes are large enough for the chain hooks to pass through too. The front eyes are 1/2 in flat bar bolted to the frame where the grill guard is attached.

:thumbsup: I love the tie downs , I HATE hooking chain to tractor

Looking at your second picture, I find reversing with the blade almost flat yields better results than the ectreme angle in your picture.

I am lost on how to use a bucket ( NEVER owned one ) . All my equipment is 2 hrs from home at cabin . So all I can do for now is play with loader . I get new Big Bee Soil Mover next week !! Then off for a week in April !!! So I get to try it out for real then !!! I have 2 jobs to do , at cabin , plus my own work . I have a HUGE boat dealership parking lot to grade , then a smaller driveway job . The driveway job , needs dirt to be picked up , put in hole ( wash ) then gravel on top . My Ford 3000 could not push dirt backwards enough , so my buddy has had a big hump in his drive ( pile of dirt with gravel over it ) . My plan is to save gravel , pick up dirt , put in hole , then put gravel over dirt ! He is also buying 2 loads of white rock to finish the project . So should be a great day to get use to loader and tractor ! HST is great in tight spots !!
