Beautiful machine, kromc5.
Congratulations!

Very Nice :thumbsup:

If you don't have the front loader, front weights will help with traction a lot. Get the 70# weights. Some of this comes back to exactly when (note: not _if_) you will get your loader. Its about $500 to get 6 weights, or about 10% the cost of a loader. So if the loader is in the next year or so (and Roy is rarely wrong), then rear wheel weights might make more sense now.

Remember when you're pulling stuff to only use the draw bar.

I agree whole heartedly. I have to call my dealer and ask him what weights the 3x20 series take.

Rob

The 3x20 series with R4s takes a 55# weight for the 20" rims @ $128 each.

The larger, 24" R1 rim takes a starter weight (55#) then a 110# weight at $154 each.

The 4x20 series will take the 110# weights due to larger rims.

To the OP, congrats on a new tractor.

Pete,
I've seen a bar connected between the lift arms called a draw bar too. (I'm thinking you're talking about the draw bar that comes off the tranny in the middle)

Beeaaaauuutiful!! Congrats! (Looks like summer there, too..) Best of luck with your new tractor.

Yeah, I'm talking about the draw bar that comes off the tranny in the middle, and (and this is the key) is below the level of the axel.

Thank you for all the feedback, took a chance and bought a Maschio 3Pt 84 finish mower. Saved about 1600 delta vs frontier 72 inch. So far it mows grass very well but leaves seems to not cut the tall weeds that come up in the grass.
As long is its just thick grass can set the cruise in between 4.5 to 5mph and leaves a nice cut. Hopefully I will be able to pay bills down and get the front loader and backhoe, really would like to get the backhoe first for all the stumps I need to remove for the pond and in the back field.

I doubt your dealer would install a 'hoe unless you have the loader installed.

Yup. as Roy wrote, you'll need the loader installed to use a backhoe for weight distribution and stability. My suggestion is to buy the loader, and rent a mini-excavator for the stump removal.

Nice unit, thanks for the pics.
