Rear Remotes - Pictures?

In addition to the underslung exhaust you might notice that the operator station has a small ridge in the center. A standard utility special has a flat deck like your TN. I also have 26" tires on the back instead of 30", and the fronts are smaller also. The foldable ROPS is also shorter. The seat is set lower along with the steering wheel.

I really needed to be as low as possible in order to work inside the chicken barns. All the feed lines and water lines are raised on pullies and they come in and catch the chickens in the night. Then we start cleaning the barns. The tractors must get under that equipment. In my shorter barn it's still close sometimes.

So this tractor is accually lower than a M6800 but with much more power. But the way they build these tractors you still have a lot of ground clearance. It really fits my needs although I would like a detachable loader, 10' mower, haying equipment, cultivator, ect, ect...

Thanks Eric

Actually, the TN's have that hump as well, it sticks up about 3 inches though. I am not sure about the cab models though.

Eric,

That makes sense. Now I see why your 40K chicks.
Nice machine. It sounds like you have all the power of a regular tractor but with a lower overall height. I guess the only possible negative could be ground clerance but I suspect you have all you need for virtually anything since most big tractors are overkill on ground clerance.
Will it fit in normal garage? The cab models requires a 9' door which is a negative.

The TN cab model also has the bump, as robert says about 2-3 ". The footrest areas are flat and the controls are almost exactly the same as the non-cab TN.

You got it! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif 40 thousand chickens.

This tractor easily fits in the barn doors. My smallest door is 8' tall. I run in and out all day with the manure spreader, tiller, sprayer, and soon my poultry house cleaner that I'm building. When my birds are gone the tractors have plenty of parking space inside the 60 X 320 barns but that doesn't last long.

I love the cab models but its just not an option for my low profile needs. The M9000 has a lot of power and plenty of ground clearance. Two remotes come in handy. The equipment I use needs about 60hp on the pto but the M9000 was the right profile and they gave me such a good deal I ended up getting more than I was hoping for.
