Did you get your new tractor and cutter? Any pics?

 

[Curtis Gray]

The tractor was delivered Wednesday of last week, and the box blade was delivered Friday of last week. Shredder is ordered, and should be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks. No pictures yet, but witihin the next couple of days, I will take some, and at least try to post them. I must confess that pic posting on websites has not to date been listed among my stong suites. Any recomended threads that may be useful for me to learn to post? Thanks.

When you hit "Post Reply", you will go to the page with the first page "Reply to Thread in the upper left. Just below your text box, scroll down to the pane "Additional Options" and about two thirds down you will see a button "Manage Attachments". You will get a pop up window with four "Browse Buttons". Hit the first and you will get a "Look in" window where you can select where your pictures are stored, click on "Open" then "upload after all pictures are selected.

Congrats on the new tractor. TripleR has it right for posting pictures, the other option would be to open a photobucket account and copy/paste the image code under the picture.

I have the MX5100 4WD, HST, that I purchased in August of last year. I think you will be well pleased with it. I have yet to purchase a new rotary cutter for mine and I have been shopping around a little. I like the Land Pride medium duty cutters, Bush Hog, and Woods. Although I having been researching Kodiak some as they have some hefty looking cutters as well. I am not familiar with the cutter that you are getting. What is the gearbox rating and what gauge is the metal in it?

Thanks for the tutorial. I hope to attempt to post a couple of pics tomorrow.

The gearbox on this shredder is 30 minimum hp to 65 maximum hp. The metal is 7 gauge (3/16 inch). The weight is right at what the Kubota manual recommends for the max weight of a rotary cutter for the MX5100 (1005 lbs.) The dealer gave me a very interesting comparative chart that list 4 major brand cutters and compares it to theirs(Modern). I wish I knew how to post something such as this, as I think a lot of members would find it useful.

Anyway, hope to post a couple of pics tomorrow. Again thanks for all of the help.

I don't think you'll go wrong with a Modern cutter. I'm wanting to sell 2 cutters that I have now and replace them with a Modern batwing.
