You are correct, but the tractor had the smaller 2610 R4 tires when I saw it at the dealer. I told them that it had the wrong tires and wanted to make sure they put the correct tires on it. Initially, I wanted the larger R14, but you guys swayed me from that when the dealer said they were back-ordered. So, I'm now waiting on the larger wheels (standard SU) to come in. I will certainly look into the spacers, but I need to save my pennies for a building project that I've been waiting to put in.

Just got a call and the dealer is delivering it tomorrow. The only thing they don't have in are the armrest kit and the pallet forks, but they will bring those out once they come in. I cannot wait to have it home. I'm sure I'll have fun, so I took tomorrow and the next day off of work to play.

Pictures or it didn't happen. LOL
It is supposed to be raining on/off through the week, but hopefully it'll clear up enough for me to snap a few pictures. They won't be dropping it off until late in the afternoon as they are delivering a baler and some other equipment in the morning and early afternoon. I have to clear out a spot in the building, so at least I'll be able to do that while I'm waiting. I don't want to leave it out in the weather once I get it. I've got my work cut out tomorrow morning.
I got the tractor today and it is awesome. I had a hard time lining up the box blade, so the first thing I need to buy is a quick hitch and then I want a tooth bar. I bought the 6C170-65206 ratcheting arm on the 3-point, but it was still in the box. It was pouring rain and the instruction/parts diagram that came with it got ruined, so I don't know if I have it on correctly. It seems that it does not want to ratchet, so I'm not sure if I did something wrong in putting it on. Can someone point me to the instruction/diagram sheet online? I sent the dealer a text and I'm sure he'll help me tomorrow, but I'm just curious tonight. Here she is! Even with reorganizing our garage and leaving the old mower outside, I still could not fit everything inside, so the finish mower has to sleep outside.

that's a beauty, congrats. 60" bucket?
Yep, 60" bucket. I guess I'll be playing in the rain today. Maybe I need a sun/rain shade too... hmmmm
I just saw Laplata. I used to be stationed in Indian Head. There was a tornado 18 years ago and we did search and rescue and then helped with clean up. That was a horrible storm.

No need for the ratchet instructions, I had it on correctly. It just needed to be under pressure for it to ratchet. Once I lifted the 3-point, it worked like a champ. That was money well spent. I spent the day grading my yard and roadside ditch where a logging company messed it up. I also grade my driveway. I need some more gravel and it should be good.
My 60 inch bucket is starting to bend on the cutting edge. I'm not using it anymore until the edge is reinforced with a bolt or weld on supplemental cutting edge. Trying to find a 1/2" X 4" X 60" bolt on bar but most are sold out. Also going to add wear strips on bucket bottom. 56 hours on tractor/loader.
Be careful with yours.

^^ you can get a Piranha bar, either straight or cutting edge in any length you want, I have one ordered for my 54” bucket....
They say to order to the nearest 1/4". Mine is 58-1/8", so can go up, or do they want you to go down? I wonder if they err on the side of caution and make them slightly smaller. If so, I'd rather get a 58-1/4", so it would be a perfect fit. I sent them a message, but have not gotten a response.

They build them in increments of 1/4" so if the most narrow clearance is 58 1/8" where the built up weld is on the sides at the bottom, you would want a 58"
You are measuring the smallest inside dimension of the bucket, and the Bar has to be able to go inside. I loved mine on my BX25D and have one ordered for my LX3310 SUPER heavy duty.... good luck

The actual cutting edge on my 54" bucket is 54 7/16". It does project below the bottom of the bucket. I see no additional wear strips on the bottom of the bucket.

The cutting edge on my 54" bucket is also 3/8" X 3" good luck
I've been moving mostly tilled dirt and back dragging for leveling. Been monitoring it very closely since it's labeled light material use. There is now a slight bend forming. Can't find anyone with the small 60 inch bolt on cutter bars in stock. Rather have something that bolts across the front vs a slip on tooth bar.
