New 4710 Came Home Yesterday

Top and tilt hydraulics will provide greater flexibility at the 3PH.

Rancar,
Thanks for sharing the pics, they all look great. I would like to see some action shots of the 4in1. Congratulations on your new equipment, looks like you got everything right upfront. Is there anything else on your wishlist?

Oops, I forgot to ask, what horsepower is the 4710?

Finally, the same Frontier 1172 landscape rake with grader blade folded down. Note boot cap ends that transform rake into sort of a modified box blade alternative for simple grading tasks.

Spencer,

Will post action shots as projects unfold in the coming weeks. It's been kind of muddy here over the past week and I'll will wait until Memorial Day weekend to put the 4in1 to the test.

I appreciate your posts of about 6 weeks ago where you used your forks for stump pulling. I bought mine based on your nifty technique that you clearly demonstrated. Mine don't have the lift capacity of yours but nevertheless I think I'll try it on some of the smaller stumps as well as lifting and transporting many large flat fieldstones I have.

In time, I would like to get a post hole digger and sickle bar mower. Further down on the list due to expense is the JD model 48 backhoe and maybe a real box blade.

The 4710 is 48HP, 4 cylinder engine and about 40.5 at the PTO.

Bob

Great looking setup you've got there Bob! I suspect you'll have lots of fun... er, productivity with all that /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif I take it the dealer did the TnT for you? Where is the control valving? Any chance of a picture of that?

Interesting rake/blade combo. I've not seen one like that. Be sure to let us all know how it works for you /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Bob...

Quick tip... on storage of your implements outside (like your rotary cutter)... try to keep ground contact minimal... prop the skid plates up/away from the ground/dirt/water... (helps prevent corrosion... /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif)

(also after each usage... knock the major dirt/debris/mud/sticks off the implement... dirt holds moisture and we all know what moisture does long term...)
