THE DEAL IS DONE

[Coyote machine]

Really nice rig you're getting! Congrats!
I suggest taking enough time with your dealer for them to explain all features and put you through the motions of the backhoe too. When you disconnect the rear hoses to remove the backhoe, have them make up a short piece of hydraulic hose to allow you to loop it between the unused rear remote circuit so you can't deadhead the circuit if you accidentally engage it when disconnected from the tractor.
While checking for loose bolts check the entire structure of the FEL where it attaches to the frame- all bolts both sides. Keep checking until they are tight every time you check them. Check all zerks to make sure they were greased. There's lots of them on the machine and hoe.
Enjoy it and keep it reved high enough to allow the regen to work as designed, minimum 1800- 2,500 for basic loader work, or higher as needed.

Enjoy! Ask questions here.....

Congrats you have a great tractor. :thumbsup:

Even though your rears are loaded you will find you can easily lift the rears off the ground with the loader strength/capacity. If you are leaving the BH on all the time it will not be a problem. Otherwise you might want to get a ballast block.

Thanks Lynn...how long have you had yours? How do you like the power shuttle?

I've had it a little over 4 years. The PS is great for field work, but FEL work not so great. Overall it's a great tractor. I always look for things that need to be done using the tractor.:laughing: Sounds like I'm joking, but I'm not.

This is what my ballast looks like.

Nice! I will probably always have an implement on the back... another question (thanks for your patience). What is your top speed to use the shuttle without the clutch or slowing yourself down?

I have used the shuttle shift in all three ranges. I was told it didn't matter, however, usually I will not reverse direction over medium range 2nd gear. I just feel better about it.

Thanks for the reply...we think alike! ;-)

Well- it痴 finally ready and I知 picking it up in the morning (Saturday). They had to order the 3rd remote after everything else was installed because they had the wrong one. No big deal- just a slight delay. Pics will be forthcoming soon. Excited!
