Out with the old! In with the new!

[crazylare1]

Well the day finally came, my new 3320 arrived! Now all I need is for the 448 bh, 3rd scv, JD heavy duty tooth bar, aux frt. and rear lighting kit w/brush guards, to get here. l have to wait until after the 9th of dec. when the power beyond kit, and the other accessories get to the dealership. So for now I'll have to make due with the 60" Frontier box blade, 300cx fel w/heavy duty 61" bucket and replaceable cutting edge, deluxe grill guard, i hitch & block heater.
The picture shows my old tractor (traded in) and the new 3320, funny how the ford 3500 w/4cyl diesel really isn't that much bigger.
Now the days of getting stuck doing loader work are over. The main reason for getting rid of the ford was due to the fact that no matter what I tried to do with the loader the back wheels dug in nice and deep and there I sat, got really frusterating.
I hope that I can figure out how to download the picture /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif.
I'll send more pic's of the tractor when the dealer picks it back up and installs the rest of the stuff, and then brings it back finished.
Been too busy to do much with it, hope to have the honey doo's done early on sat. so that the boys and I can go out back and move some dirt.
Have a great day, and enjoy the holidays! /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
It won't let me post the picture of my new tractor, it's 458,259 bytes, can't post files over 100,000 bytes, any ideas? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

What software is available to you to compress the pictures. Microsoft office includes a program calleged Picture Manager or something like that. It will let you compress the pictures to a smaller file size and from there you should be able to upload them. Good luck cuz I'm anxious to see it.

There must be a bit of a backlog on the backhoes. I'm told by my dealer that my 4720 and 400x FEL are in transit, but the backhoe is not yet.

While we're on the subject of the backhoe, I notice you're getting the 3rd SCV as well as the power beyond kit. I assume that I am too, but I don't understand what the power beyond kit is or does. Can somebody explain what it is?

thanks.

Congrats to both of you on your new tractors!

Grant, the power beyond ports will provide a constant flow of hydraulic fluid for things like the backhoe that have their own controls. The third scv will provide hydraulic flow controlled by you at a control to your side. That will be useful for implements that do not have their own controls such as a hydraulic top link cylinder or the lift cylinder on a large pull behind mower.

For posting pics, there are a lot of image reducers. Your digital camera software likely has one and you can download a free one called irfanview that many people here have recommended. Sorry, I don't have the link, just search on irfanview. You'll have to play with the image pixel sizing and quality levels to make the cutoff of 100k.

Hope this helps, and have fun with those new machines /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
