( Nice looking tractor rcr! It does look better with wheels on it! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I finally saw my first Kioti for real this past weekend. I was on the road to Cols, Oh and a dealer in Nelsonville has some on an old car lot. They looked good.

Highbeam,
It is a darn shame BH's are so expensive. I'd like to have one too, but it appears I'll be waiting a couple more years.

I've never seen a kioti either. Never drove one either. Must make me an inpulse buyer. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
Seriously, I just researched (mostly this site), till I was brain dead. And talked to some folks.

Why would I drive them yet. I don't know the differance. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif In other words, I'm unqualified to make the call, so I went soley on research.

I have to admit, when Jon sent me the pictures, I said to my wife, ****, they're even pretty! hehe

(
that's a lot of stuff! You were smart in getting the toothbar now, but use the loader a little without it first so that you can SEE how much difference it makes. You'll rarely take it off after that!
You've bought many of the items you'll need, but man are you going to find others you'll want! Have fun! Like I need to say that. John )

I really just got the good basic's you guys instructed me to get. I also got a john deere brush hog in "show-room" condition from a buddy for 500.00

Now, for a 18' Trailer with electric brakes and a dump truck.
Then, I need to find out what a tilt and hmmm, I forgot. TNT ??? Anyway, I need to figure out what exactly it is cuz I see many seem to like it.
By this time, I'm in serious need of a money infusion.
Then, I'd like some forks of some type.
Sometime, during all this, I need to get a stick welder and go to vo-tech and learn how. As usual, I'm full speed ahead!!
Oh yeah, I've got to come up with a canopy of some sort. I just could not bring myself to spend 350.00 on a piece of plastic to go over my head...

Dang, I'm getting long winded. Helps to talk about it all though...

Here's a picture of bucket hooks in progress.
I'd love to take the glory, but remember DePratt is the man on this.

rcrcomputing · Apr 13, 2005

Another of bucket hooks in progress. Notice you can change the hooks to a differant size!

Now the rear lights. Notice they also, can be mounted on the inside or outside of the bar. Depending on the goal, visability, or avoiding tree's.

Here's the plate for the rear light switch. Reachable from the front seat or the BH seat.

And here's the tractor with the backhoe attached.
