Here is another picture, I thought it look good up there so thought I would share it. My trailer is almost to short.

You're probably right at it....about 12,000 lbs.

I have been looking at purchasing this exact tractor. Do you mind sharing the cost of your M6800?

The pictures are great. I have been trying to convince my wife that I need a cab on my next tractor. Will show her these, but I doubt it will help. She is a farmer's daughter and her Dad never had a cab on any of his tractors. Her motto is "if my Dad didn't have one, why should you since you are not a real farmer?".

Tractor and loader $34325.00

Nice tractor. Sure looks different with the cab on it. Mine doesn't have the cab. How do you like that loader?

Enjoy

Yea, there's no way you are going to win that one. It's the same "discussion" I've been having with my M-I-L and S-I-L for years. They still live at the farm and last year when I was gone, the JD tractor my S-I-L uses broke down. I wasn't there to fix it so the answer to the problem was to go get another tractor. When I got back, there was a brand new M5700 with FEL and 6' Rhino cutter in the barn but with no cab. I tried to get them to take it back, trade up a couple of sizes, get a cab and 15' flex wing mower and I'd pick up any difference in cost. Didn't work, not interested, they wanted to do it the same old way, which is a bit strange because I do at least 80% of the work on the farm. Don't get me wrong, it's a great tractor, better than anything we have at present, but it's not what a bunch of 50 somethings need to using for the next 20 years IMHO. So, I guess, for now I'm going to have to keep on getting, hot, sweaty, filthy dirty and eating bugs just like always. I just don't know if I can or want to be working the farm like that when I'm 70+ years old.

So Dmax, I hate it when people post pictures of their brand new, shiny, cabbed tractors. I'm jealous as all get out. It does look good though but I just wish it was parked in my barn. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I like the Bush hog loader because it will lift more and is a bit heavier made than the kubota loader. But there is one thing that I don't like about it, It want do two fuction at once. I am not sure that I would have not when with a kubota loader if I would have known that before I got it. Dealer did not know, they was tried to adjust the cables to get it to do what I wanted but that was not the problem. I finally called Bush hog myself and the guy I talked to said that the valve on the loader was not a regen valve and would only do one thing at a time. The only time it really bothers me it loading and unloading hay. I could drop another $1000 and get the self leveler put on but it's not bothering that bad........ YET.
