Mosey, I'm glad you are finally getting your loader. It is great that you were able to afford/justify the quick attach system, I know you will never regret that decision. I'm already jealous of your increased loader lift capacity. I'll be waiting patiently for photos.

Spencer - You were the one who motivated me to get the QA bucket, thanks for the good advice! Pictures will be coming.

I have R4's on my JD. In my case they aren't so good in the snow. I just ordered & rec'd chains for the back tires. It made a world of difference. In the summer, the R4's are great.

im kind of confused, this is the second time I heard R4's are no good in snow. When we did have snow I was able to got through it pretty good. Even in the ditches of the road where is was about three feet deep. I didn't even have to use 4 wheel. My dealer sold me on the R4's for snow, mud and dirt. Am I just out of the ordinary or haven't I really had much experience yet. My neighbor watched me go through the deep snow and he said he would never do that with his turf's.

Hi Murph, I had most of my problems when I went off of level ground. Maybe it is just my tractor. I think I attached a picture to this post. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Well, that didn't work, try this

Ron,

I guess you still shouldn't have any trouble in ground that is not level. I take corn out for deer every so often and I have a pretty steep hill and then a road ditch on the way back from feeding the deere. Maybe I am getting down the hard ground pretty good. Maybe if we would get some more snow around here I would not be so happy. I still think the R4's have got to be better than the turf's

What county in Ohio are you in ?
You have a nice looking place....very neat.

Steel,

Yes it does look like he has a nice looking place. The shed is in real nice shape or it is brand new. He looks like he is really enjoying the cold weather with his tractor and getting wood ready for the fire. A dream place it is.

Kind of makes one jealous.

Nice looking tractor!

Curious that the tires are clean but the front of our friend's coat is covered with snow /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

Somethings wrong here...I thought the tractor was supposed to be the hardest worker /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
