new 6500 4whl dr!!

[Quickturn]

Pushes as hard as my kamatsu d-21 dozer. Rear tires are filled. Heavy duty 7 ft mohawk chief shredder is smacking 3 plus inch trees and making mulch. Tractor hasn't hickuped once. I'm kinda hard on it. Buckets already got a little sag on top and on bottom. I think I can still bang on a tooth bar. Dealer put on a quick attach that he said was better than the Mahindra. The two bolts that hold in the two hydraulic cylinder pins are gone. Glad I noticed the problem before the pins fell out. So far so good. Only 14 hours old. Thanks for all the comments. I wouldn't have purchased this tractor with such confidence without all the bragging. Thanks, Tom

Quickturn: Congrats on the 6500. Make sure you check the FEL frame mounting bolts on a regular basis. Over time they have a tendency to back out a half a turn or so with heavy FEL use. Don't forget to change the oil/filter regularly (I changed mine the first time at 22 hrs. Found out later that the service manual recommends this change at 25hrs. Then again at the 50 hrs service. Also when you change the oil filter, make sure you get the machine up to operating temp before you attemp to take off the oil filter. Good luck! BobG in VA

Hey Bob, I've read just about all of your posts. I asked the dealer when to change the oil? He said, call me in the spring. I don't mind takin your money now but you can wait until spring. Of coarse its not gonna be his tractor for the next 20 years. New bolts and some blue lok tite. I've got my eye on the fel and those dead trees in the woods. Heads up! Tom
