It's started, the sickness....

[BGigHarbor]

Just pulled the trigger on a few more implements I need badly:

ETA 84 inch Landscape rake (with custom offset added) and gauge wheels
60 inch Wicked Root Grapple
bradco compact tractor PF with 48 inch forks.

Along with my new RR and hrl3578 I am getting a good start considering I have only had the tractor a day and in fact it had to be taken back to the shop to be fixed the first day out....

There are some more things I have my eye on but I will stick to the implementsI need the most on the new property at first as I figure out the specifics of the next additions.

What kind of tractor and what broke?

What kind of tractor and what broke?

l5460 and a bad hydraulic leak I decided to let them fix under warranty once I found where it was and might need a part ordered. I posted a thread in the Kubota sub forum.

That leak is easily repeatable and I am sure they will fix it easily, but it might take a week to get a part from what came in the rear remote kit they ordered to install on the tractor

I had a couple other things I hope they take a quick look at while they have it. Otherwise the tractor is a blast.

Yea I had a leak around my front drive shaft that I just let leak till winter when I didn't need the tractor, they knew it would be there and were just as happy that I waited because they were busy during the summer. All better now and warranty is up, so nothing is allowed to break any longer!:laughing:

My leak couldn't be ignore as it really gushed when I worked the tnt. That is how I discovered it within the first half hour or having it - smelled the hyd oil and could see it dripping fast onto the ground from the bottom. Took me a bit to figure out the source as it was under the seat area and need a flashlight.

I meant to bring it inside, but it was making such a puddle I left it outside overnight before they took it back to work on.

Awesome i'd like a few more attachments including a heavy duty box scraper. Definitely no cure for the disease

Bgig:

I purchased an extreme blade from ETA last February and while I had a bump in the road, Ted and ETA called and a replacement part was on the way to my home almost immediately. So far, I've been able to use this blade to plow my 3/8 mile driveway. Given the amount of rain we're getting I'm about to pull the trigger on a snow blower attachment as I'm fearing we are in store for a winter with lots of snow....last year we got over 7'.

Good luck with your new purchases.

While I agree that there is no known cure, a person can keep it at bay with a little $$$, well maybe more than a little $$$$.

How about the disease is controllable. Forget it, don't listen to me, I'm so infected it's beyond hope. I've changed my entire life trying to cope with it. :drool:

I am already afflicted in regard to other tools. e.g. I've got probably $50K in chainsaws and related gear.

I am late to the tractor/implement game but I assure you I'll work hard to make up for lost time.
