Larry,
It came with a bucket and no air. The first order of business this spring is to remove the door. The windows slide down as well.
Had some money burning a hole in my pocket last fall so I ordered a New Holland TN utility tractor- probably similiar to your M6800. Decided to cancel when he found out it was 3 months for delivery and I rationalized the loader based on less overlap with my present tractor.
I do some excavation for Habitat for Humanity and a tractor is too cumbersome on those small lots. Also I've got a narrow driveway and creekbed that when you need to be perpendicular, there just isn't room with a conventional tractor.Also twelve acres of regrowth that needs to be selectively thinned. I'd like to make a tree shear but may buy it instead. Then there is trimming around all those trees worth saving and it takes forever with the tractor. With the loader you can essentially move the mower sideways in addition to forward and reverse. Even though it has low compaction, it scuffs up the sod when you turn sharp so we'll see how well the grass recovers from that.
