Loader Vs, Big Dirt Scoop?

<font color=blue>...50 HP in my mind LOL! Not a Turbo Yet! </font color=blue>

Nuru, you may have the only naturally-aspirated turbocharged 4100 on the entire planet!! There should be some way you could get rich from this... /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

<font color=blue>...I could have opted to get a gear version and a loader, but I wanted Hydro and a blade. </font color=blue>

My Deere dealer told me that the pushing geometry of the front blade was much better that that of the loader.. you were pushing straight against the frame. Since a lot of what I need to do is push dirt right now (kind of bulldozer work), and since it seemed like a blade which could angle right and left would be better for snow, I opted for the blade also.

Since there's been no snow, and everything is mud, I haven't really been able to see how well all of thise is going to work.

Oh, I did add a rear scoop.. 30".. I've lifted 1500 lbs. with it without a problem. I may need more weight out front if I want to lift more than that.

Sorry, I don't drink, not even beer.
Hey, I am always looking for new converts to the clan, where's the love Nuru, where's the love?
Seriously, how about some pictures of that dirt scoop thing, what was wrong with the dirt scoop from KK? It would make a great basket after you eventually get a loader, you could use it for floral arrangements. One fella, I forgot who, had another benefit of a FEL, throw a party and you can put all the beer iced down in the loader and serve it to your guests out by the pool or patio!!!!(hey I don't drink but everyone else does--not a religious thing--I just do not drink). AAaaaaand since you got no mower for the up coming season of grass you will be able to lift the ice beer high enough above the weeds that your guest will be able to see them.
The love, the love Nuru, I am your buddy.

jinman, will definitely take the advice. The dang tax bill just came in and it i s 2100 buck. [censored] there goes the budget, bigtime. I hope i can still squeeze the mower deck. I got a quote in NH for $2150, CT $2250 + tax, RI 2550+tax. Looks like RI is out. gotta negotiate with the SCFO to do the taxes and the MMM. Wish me luck!

Thanks Bob.

tres, i was really havng some fun reading this. Thanks for the laughter. Here is a picture of the 36" scoop. Loader before MMM? no way, I can see it now SCFO would run me out into yard and I would probably have to sleep in the bicket to get away from the static /w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif!

Bob, depending on my part of the tax bill, I will try to get the MMM at least, but the scoop may be out of the picture unless I get it later than I really need it - after mulch replacement season (April and May)

54" MMM gonna be picked up next week or weekend. Got an offer of $1796 with mulch kit and tax included. 60" just does not seem worth it for an extra 800 bucks for 6" inches of cut.

Nuru · Mar 23, 2002

Well since the dealer actually did not have the 54" inhouse he is now offering me a 60" for $2100, I think i can handle that in April, right after taxes! Now I gotta figure how I am ginna handle the trailer width!
