L5740 Arrived Today!

[Foozle]

Very nice rig you have there Dave/Foozle.

What's the difference between a Finish & a Flail mower, do they both cut grass about the same, is one type better than another?

Clint

Clint,

I haven't been able to try the flail on lawn grass yet, but my intent was to use as replacement for a finish mower and a rotary cutter (bush hog). Here is a good (and very long) thread that discusses flail mowers if you have an interest.

After 4 hours bush hogging my pasture yesterday with 4 ft weeds, fairly muddy ground, over 90 degrees and lots of bugs I will never again wonder if I needed a cab!

That's a beauty and you didn't mess around when you decided to get some implements. Good Luck.

That is an awesome setup! I just took delivery of my 5740HSTC this past Tuesday. I spent Friday night and Saturday mowing my 24 acres with my Woods PRD8400. What a tractor!
I wish I had the hooks on the bucket. Did you add them? Was it a dealer installed item? Which bucket do you have, it look like the HD round back.
Post how you like the backhoe when you get a few hours behind it. I will be very interested to see how it works for you. What kind of price did you pay for the box blade and tiller? I felt I was treated real fair on the tractor, but they don't carry Woods brand. Thanks in advance for the reply.

The dealer added three hooks to my FEL and pallet forks for no extra charge. The bucket is a Heavy Duty 72" round back quick attach model #L2286.

Only used the backhoe a couple times to dig out two stumps and it works good so far, although I don't have more than an hour in on it so far.

Box blade was $1,000 and tiller was $3,150.

Enjoy your new tractor!
