Few pics- so far....this machine is AWESOME!!!!!!





Mowed the field....6 foot heavy duty bushhog is running and cutting while I am pushing over and hauling a tree out......

Just hit 41 hours...looking forward to the 50 hour service in a few days......


On a more sober note....shout out and prayers for Oklahoma tonight!!!! Sam

Thanks for the great pics! That cab is going to be really nice.

Just a suggestion about carrying a tree fairly high off the ground on sloping, irregular terrain with the cutter running at the same time... that's maybe a bit more "multitasking" than most of us would bargain for. If the tree shifts or snags the ground - easy to happen - or you need to stop quickly because of the cutter, you could have an awful lot happening all at once. Pilots call it "task saturation". Probably better to spool down the mower when you're moving trees.

But, enjoy your new rig... you'll wonder how you ever got by without it.

Good point! I was pushing it a bit just trying to find out if it could take it (which I never even felt maxed out!)

However, I will definitely take your advice and, in retrospect, see that I got a little "happy" with the multi-tasking.

You are also right about the cab- don't know how I lived without it!!!

Thanks for posting, the more you use it the more you will like it and the cab IS nice wouldn't have one without it. I was moving dirt into an old shed a few days ago with a gazillion bumble bees; no problems.

Yep- had bees trying to attack me....used to have to jump and run but now with the cab, I can just keep on going...
