( the dealer said he would get them for me no charge )

Well that's pretty cool, tell him I need a set for the loader side /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

How do you like the machine so far?

I really love the machine so far, sure has a lot of power for its size. You definitely need some weight on the back end of it when using the loader. I decided to take the loader off this week when cutting the grass and that make a huge improvement in the rear wheel traction. With the loader on, I was finding that when the RFM was lowered, I would spin the tires quite easily when I would start going up a very slight grade from a stop. Taking it off elminated that problem. I just need to get used to using the RFM but am getting much better at swinging it around and stuff ;-)

Even my wife is really impressed with it. We did the yearly scouring the property for rocks and such before we cut the grass. There was this one rock that was poking through the soil about 3 inches high, did not appear that big. My wife and I went and got the shovel and started to dig it up, to make a long story short this was no a small rock but a fairly large boulder. We ended up using the loader and it was just over half the size of my bucket but the little tractor had no problems excavating it and moving it, only problem was that we forgot to take pictures. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Be sure to keep it in 4 wheel drive if you are that out of balance for traction, not only gives the obvious better traction, but also causes the front wheels to have breaking power. In 2 wheel drive your rear wheels will skid along and you can lose control.

That must be one of those wooden handled excavators I've heard so much about. Try to stay away from those, lots of back problems associated with that equipment. You're diesel powered now! /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Up here on the north end of Route 21 those things are referred to as West Virginia Backhoe. You use one along with the West Virginia Dumptruck -- that thing with one wheel and two handles.
