Rest in Peace
Yeah, but I thought the earlier TR3 was a better looking car./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

stvman,
My TC18 has a metal hood and fenders! Don't know which other Boomers have metal besides mine but I do know that the TC18 says "made in Japan" on the serial plate.

Little late in Response, but I'm in NC and was trying to decide among similar models. I purchased used 97 M4700 4wd with 180 hours, with loader, 6ft rotary cutter, tiller, and tillage tool. Since, I've added Kasco Uni-hitch to allow quick connect/disconnect from bucket to pallet forks (just purchased). I'm in process of building a house and wanted to purchase for use in building the house a putting in yard etc on 3 acres and move building materials around. My inclination was to purchase L3010 size, but after using the M4700, I don't regret the extra size or power. I was planning on selling when I finish the house - but, I'm adding perminant space in my garage for tractor.

McCallum,
No, I don't mind. The tractor HN 2120 with gears, 7309 loader (72" hd bucket), 759C backhoe (hd hoe with 24" bucket) came to $27k. Took delivery in the end of June and have just under 80hrs on it now. I have all my implements listed under my profile. Hope this info helps! Let me know if you have any questions about it.

Thomasre,
Tell me a little about the quick attach system you bought for the loader bucket. I have nearly the same loader on my M6800SD (LA1002 loader)and bought the Kubota quick attach system. It works great on the bucket and plan to buy the hay spear and hope to buy the pallet forks, although they are a little pricey.

I wanted a quick attach system, but didn't want to pay Kubota price. I purchased UH2 - attaches to your loader - with new pins that are supplied by Kasco. This hitch then enables your loader to use any skidsteer attachments. I purchased a set of 4ft. very heavy duty skid steer pallet forks from local distributor ($425.00). Additionally, I purchased an adapter for my bucket from Kasco (uses your old pins to "pin on skidsteer type attachment"). Thus, your old bucket is now skid steer attachable. I can swap bucket / pallet forks in a minute or so. Simply drop bucket, pull up two levers, get back on tractor back away from bucket center and pull up to forks and leading edge of UH will lift forks, get off tractor and push two levers down and your forks are secure. Any other attachments you purchase - should then be skid steer attach. My buddy has a JD 4400 with quick attach - I like the Uni-hitch system better.
The only drawback I can think of to Uni-hitch is the extra weight the Uni-hitch adds to loader. With the adapter on origional bucket and the Uni-hitch on loader - probably 150 lbs + over the bucket attached without Uni-hitch system. With other attachments forks etc. Just the weight of the Uni-hitch itself 75 lbs to 100 lbs? But with M4700 M6800 size - not too much weight relative to capacity. Check out attached link, If you want, I can take couple of digital pics and email them or post them here as attachment. Total cost of UH-2 and bucket adapter $690 more or less. Let me know if you need more info or pics

Nice folks to deal with - they shipped wrong pins first time UPS lost part of contents - Kasco had correct pins and new parts within two days of my call. Good customer support, at least they were good to me.

I think I will stick with what I bought from Kubota as it is pretty slick. Their quick attach kit is light, attaches directly between the loader and bucket without extending the bucket more than a couple of inches and costs about $260.00. The forks are really nice (too nice) with adjustable width and back stop and cost over $1000. The two systems are closer in price than I thought and the Kubota system doesn't add as much weight.
My dad made his forks for his John Deere. He welded them out of heavy wall 2x4 rect tubing and cost $40. He uses them primarily to lift pallets of feed which are only about 1000# or so. That may be what I wind up doing as pallets are a very small part of my work.
