Fellas, thanks much for all of your contributions to this splendid forum. Through the shared experiences of many, I've been able to access tons of practical, real-world data covering the gamut of topics relating to CUTs that's really, in its totality, impossible to derive from anywhere else all in one place.
Last week, I ordered my first-ever tractor from the nearest JD dealer to my farm (Godfrey Bros. in Jonesville, about 11 miles), and, based on what I've seen here and elsewhere, I got a fair deal, which is all I was looking for. Here's what's on its way:
JD 990 MFWD
300CX loader, 61" bucket
R1's, filled with "beet juice"
MX5 rotary cutter
Canopy
I-Match
Rear flood lights
Toolbox
Plan on using the machine for bush hogging, establishing and maintaining wildlife food plots, and Lord knows what else I may think up. Next year, I plan on adding a rotary tiller to the arsenal. When she shows up, I'll be sure to show some pics, in case anyone's interested.
Question - I've got lots of hills on my place; would it make sense to set it up with the wheels at the widest possible setting? At this point, I am not a highly skilled operator, and it seemed like this would be the safest way to go.
Couldn't have done it in such a short time frame without you guys!
