You know that a new loader bucket full of ice and refreshments makes for a great picnic accessory. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

I love this thread. Here is a guy who appreciates the value of a cab tractor as well as a good stereo. I've enclosed a picture of your tractor's BIG BROTHER for your enjoyment. It has given me a lot of enjoyment for the few months that I've owned it. We are going to start cutting hay in about 3 weeks. Your Kubota's big brother is going to get a hard workout. I'll be sure to post pictures on this site with the 5030 running our hay implements including our 13 foot throat mower conditioner and our NH 600 series round baler.

I know you will really apperciate the AC this summer. I've already used mine and it works really well.

Frank,

You're right about the timing. The tractor came at around 11 AM right after our friends with children arrived. It was a little tough to pay attention when the dealer was going over everything. The little children kept coming over to check it out but we finally had to send everyone away before using the brush hog. After lunch I got to play (I mean work) for about 2 hours in the upper field vaporizing all the briar bushes. It was great fun. Also dug out an old apple tree. Hit a few hidden rocks /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif(you guys are right that it makes a lot of noise when you hit a rock). The cab came in really handy when I went through a section of brush with a lot of pollen. It was a yellow dust cloud when I hit it with the FEL. I would have looked like a bumble bee if I didn't have the cab. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif The CD is a little hard to hear with the brush hog going. Tomorrow is supposed to be nice so I'll be out there again. Oh, I did let Katie try it out for about 3 minutes. I'll have to let her use it a little more tomorrow. I'll take my digital camera tomorrow for some pics.

HAZ: probably what u need to do is read the manuel, then read it again, then read it while u are sitting on the tractor. enjoy the tractor, it wears off, i have been using tractors for about 50 years now and i expect the fun of it will wear off soon /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif don't let the bride use it too much or u will be sitting on the porch watching her have all the fun! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

Is your tractor HST or GST? Mine is GST but with all the dirt work I did this weekend I was wondering if maybe the HST would have been better. If you have the 723 bucket have you looked at where you will/would place chain hooks? And finally what brand is your bucket toothbar?

Haz · May 6, 2003

Mine is HST which is really easy when doing loader work. The dealer put 3 hooks on the FEL bucket. It is the 72" HD bucket and one hook is centered along the top of the bucket and the other two are welded onto the sides near the top of the bucket. I still have to take pictures, probably tomorrow if it doesn't rain. I forgot my camera over the weekend. My toothbar is a Woods and fits over the removable cutting bar really nicely and the toothbar is removable by loosening only two bolts on the sides. I'll take a picture of that too. I would recommend a toothbar to anyone with a FEL.
