Ready to pull the trigger on 1026r and need reassurance.

Cool! My buddy just borrowed mine to clean up a huge brush pile at his house and I miss it all ready.

Pics and be careful, lower the engine rpms to slow down the hydraulics until you are comfortable with all the levers.

I would double dog check the auto connect locations of mating stuff in broad daylight in case something is not aligning good.

The boom up function is really sensitive on that hoe. Be careful since it starts raising slowly then gets exponentially faster as you get to the top of its travel. I like to leave my tractor in gear when I'm moving myself with the hoe because although you can still lose control it has some resistance from the hydro when in gear and rolls much slower.

Here are some pictures from this morning. I Finally got a little seat time on it, and cleaned up some logs out of one of my fields and moved some scrap and wood to my "scrap barn" and burning pile. I am very happy with the performance so far, It is definitely saving my back from how I was working before. I tried the backhoe out just to see how it worked and it is definitely going to take some practice, but I have enough projects lined up for it that I should get in enough practice. I don't have any regrets with it so far, I guess if I had to pick one thing I wasn't completely satisfied with, It would be the ground clearance with the MMM on. there might be a 1" difference in it being fully raised and fully lowered. That is something I can live with though.

The mower should raise to about 4" high and sit on the ground when lowered. I keep mine off almost all the time because it is too easy to tear up while working.
