welcome ole farmerbuck , and congratulations on the tractor . I had a guy tell me he takes his wife everywhere , that way he doesn't have to kiss her goodbye ... ha ha .

 

[ole farmerbuck]

Thanks again for all the nice welcomes. Forecast isnt too good for tomorrow. I hope they can get it here. If not tomorrow, i might have them to install the rear weights afterall. I had Rim Guard put in but might need more, not sure.

Come to think about it, i knew it would snow. Just got our basement poured Friday and cut yesterday!

Welcome. I know you will enjoy your M7040. I got mine back in Nov and I love it. I'm becoming more and more comfortable with it all the time. My wife likes to joke that she's becoming a "Tractor Widow". At least I think she's joking.

This is a great place to ask questions and learn. Enjoy!!!!

Verrrry nice! You wife is very wise, she won't see much of you for a while.

 

[IC Smoke]

Looks great!!!:thumbsup::drool: How do you like it so far?

 

[ole farmerbuck]

Thanks all. I think i'm going to get along with it pretty good. We had a basement dug and had a lot of dirt so i practiced quite a bit. With the blade on back,rim saver in tires and 320# of wheel weights on the back, it never felt like there was anything in the scoop. I picked up a full load of fine sand and it was fine too. The wifs says she's going to learn to drive it!:laughing:

 

[TripleR]

Very nice setup, sure like that blade.

Congrats! Nice machine you have there!
First time I've seen a M40 with bolt on wheel weights. Looks good and sounds like it works great.

 

[ole farmerbuck]

The weights are nice but a lot of $'s. About $1 / lb. Rim saver was 42 cents/lb. The blade is great now that the dealer got the 3rd cylinder installed on it. The little tractor has moved quit a bit of dirt the last few days. Maybe snow tomorrow.

 

[Country1]

Yeah, I've been pricing steel weight and like you said, it come out to about $1 a lb anyway you try it, wheel weights, cast center wheels or suitcase weights....

Again nice tractor. Enjoy it!
