NX4510 and NX5010 pricing and review

[94BULLITT]

Great video, although we never got to see the completed project. Took quite awhile to get it down. What tractor is that? Is it hst or shuttle? If that is the 45 hp hst, then I really can't wait to see what my nx6010 will do!!!:licking:

Thanks about the video. You have some nice videos too.

Here is the completed project



The only reason it took a while to get it down was got hung up in that other tree. If it would not have been for that it would have been down in no time. The tractor was L4240 HST, 44hp.

The tractor used to push over the tree is 42hp and lighter than a NX4510. Additionally, if you listen to the engine it sounds like it is barely if ever reaching PTO RPM. Pushing trees over is all about traction, leverage (height of FEL), weight of the tractor and patience. It helps to rip some roots before pushing. Horsepower plays a relatively small role. .

If you think a 60hp tractor is going to do that job any faster or better, you are mistaken. If you try to rev up the engine and ram away (like Eric the Wrecker would do) then you will break your tractor.

42 net horsepower and 44 gross horsepower I don't think for most of the video the tractor hit over 2000 RPMs.

Power vs Weight

Move the chains to even height for a fair game.

I think the steam tractor would win anyway but having the tow bar higher definitely was in favor of the torque monster.
