That sure looks good, Lunk! i know you are gonna have some fun now. But...you are gonna swiftly need to acquire a few different items that will much, much improve your overall satisfaction. If you plan on doing much serious digging with that powerful loader you will greatly appreciate having a set of teeth on that bucket. I've got a set of slide on/in, screw down some screws, teeth from Gearmore that work swell for me. Fairly inexpensive and work quite well. I couldn't see well in your rear picture if'n you've got rear remotes or not? Hopefully you do because a top-n-tilt set-up is "extremely" handy to have. A poster here on TBN, "Mtn View" can really hook you up if you've the remotes. If you think about a set, give him an e-mail. It won't be long and you'll be like all the rest of us -- wanting/wishing for different/various attachments. Enjoy that beast, and keep us updated! Greg

It came with one set of remotes standard. I plan to use it as an inexpensive set-up for my grapple until i can afford to put the 3rd function button to use on the joystick.

I never used a top-n-tilt before...on my Branson the box-blade was there primarily for ballast. I don't do much "grading."

to bad my 233 isn't built like that subframe links and where the kwik connects for loader are located:)
I hope this works

Pics should be attached.

Looking forward to putting this thing to work!

Congrats on the 353! I have had mine for 3 years now and I have no complaints. I did a few minor modifications, re-directed the exhaust, work lights and a small tool box (mostly for wrenches & shear bolts). Here are pics for your info.

Thanks!

I like your lights, and foresee some forward facing LED's in the near future. I also have a .50 cal ammo can lying around that may find its way to the rear of the tractor (like yours).

Couple questions:

1.) Why no factory SMV signage on our TYM's? Thought that was odd...

2.) Is the trailer lighting plug on the back in any way "standard?" It's a 7-pin but looks larger than the ones I've seen. I've not had a chance to check out the towing section of the local TSC yet...

Thanks,

Lunk

Lunk,

It's a good thing there was no SMV sign on the tractor otherwise I would not have been able to put my storage container there. As far as the 7 pin plug I honestly have ignored that since I do not plan on towing anything that would have to be plugged in. I thought about tapping into it for my rear facing lights but I ran them from the pos on the battery with an inline fuse. I got the lights from my dealer, they each have a on/off switch on the light.

I checked at TSC, and a 7-pin is out there. I want to plug my lights into the socket, tapping the running light pin. That way my LED's light up automatically when my headlights are on.

This is my favorite part of "new-toy" ownership. Making it better!
