NEW TRACTOR

[Runner]

Great looking unit, glc.

I notice your loader bucket has a replaceable cutting edge. Is that the heavy duty bucket, or do the new standard buckets come with replaceable edges?

My 61 inch bucket has a fixed edge.

Have fun and I wish you the best of luck with your new machine!

Hey Greg, do you know what the upcharge was for the heavy-duty bucket? I had the dealer include a 61" bucket on mine but did not ask for the heavy-duty bucket. I tried to look it up on the JD website configurator but had no luck. It's really odd, it doesn't let me pull up pricing at all for the 200CX loader or any of its options.

After seeing your heavy-duty bucket, I think it might be a nice option if it's not too spendy.

Hey John
The upgrade was 350.00 for the HD bucket,and the cutting edge was 130.00. I'm glad I made the switch,it's alot nicer bucket

I think their (JD) website needs a complete overhaul

Drool.

One thing I've never understood with tractors like this or my 855. Why, when they ship with a FEL, do they not also include auxilary lights that won't be obstructed by the loader? Bloody near useless after dark and I'm often working in the dark. Both literally and figuratively.

Can't they be ordered with extra lights? If not, they can be added without much problem.

As to why...because it costs extra money and for most, not necessary.

I added them, attached to the roll bar and triggered via relay to come on with the regular lights.

I should not have had to do it.

How about a pic of your lights? Sounds like a great addition.
