Just purchased, JD 5205 4WD

[Tom_R]

First, I would like to thank the moderator and the TBN'ers who contribute all the invaluable information on this site. It has been a tremedous help to me in my evaluation and selection. Since October, I have been looking for a tractor and finally selected the JD 5205. It was helpful to me to see what other paid and to see their photos. Hopefully, I can return the favor.

JD 5205 4WD, with upgraded tire size, one extra rear remote, grill and weight rack, and 24 hours; $20,650
JD 522 FEL w/ 73" bucket; $4,200
Woods BB720 cutter; $2,100
Tufline TB2-84 with 1/2" end plates; $850
WR Long 72" RBG-72; $2,300
Canopy; $300
Delivery, 40 miles; $0

I have put about 4 hours on the tractor, most of it cutting grass, the other with the root-rake grapple clearing brush and moving downed trees. Now, let me try attaching a photo.

Tom -
I got the dreaded "The page cannot be found" message when I tried to look at the pic, but, will assume it is a fine piece!! /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif Good luck with your new implement (can't call it a toy, otherwise the missus will catch on /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif ).

 

[Tom_R]

Thanks for the reply. I think the photo was too large. I am trying to figure out how to compress; then try again.

 

[Tom_R]

I will try this compressed version. If this doesn't work, I guess if will need some help posting photos.

The 5205 is great tractor. I know that you will enjoy it. Good looking grapple. Wish JD would put a power reverser transmission on it.

Wow!, you might want to feed it, it looks hungry

What a beast of a tractor Tom_R. Congratulations on a fine tractor. Be fun to use one of those grapples. One day maybe... one day. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

What a nice machine and a gruesome looking grapple.

Let us know how you like working the combo.
