Wow, now that's a tractor!

Thankyou, Hayden.It is clear now.

I think you could simply mount a steel plate and drill holes in it to create a bulkhead. Then secure the hose ends through the holes and mount the couplers.

Here are an assortment of bulkhead adapters to mount to the hold and attach the coupler and hose on either end

Ah. Bulkhead couplings was the word I am looking for.

Thanks

Wow - nice machine. I ugraded from a TC18 to a B3030 this past summer (both from Chappell - who actually gave me the best price & best service in the area) for my 4 acres.

I lost about $5K ~25% in depreciation (sold my TC18, 2 mowing decks, loader, 2 sets of tires & blower as a package) with 690 hours on it. I figure if I had to pay for all the work I did with my TC18 it would have cost well over $15,000 (that number is just snow removal & cutting the grass - doesn't include any of the other work) Not to mention the fun factor...

after buying my 1st tractor about a month ago, L3240 my wife would much rather me lust over other pictures that can be found on the net, than yours!

Just in case nobody has said it before...holy STINK that is a nice setup!!! This thread bubbles to the top every once in a while and I just have to click on it to get another glimpse at your pictures. Beautiful.

If I was responsible for keeping the grass green and the walkway clear to the pearly gates of Heaven, that is what I would drive! No doubt!

Absolutely wonderfully perfect setup. Many congratulations.

That's a really cute tractor. Have you waxed it yet?

Absolutely amazing rig!!! I am so envious. The only thing I can even think of that I would want to have extra is for the BH controls to be inside the cab.

Just out of curiosity, one of your first photos was of a trailer attached to an SUV. Is that what you tow this with? What is the weight of your rig and what are the stats on your trailer and tow vehicle?

The trailer is a 7000 GVW trailer that I used to haul around my B2910. I think the L5740 would simply crush it. I calculate a weight of 6700 lbs for the tractor and loader, and 8300 lbs if you include the backhoe.

The trailer is out because I helped my dealer hauling everything to my place. They brought the tractor and backhoe on a roll-back truck, the snow blower in the back of a pickup, and I hauled the mower and chipper on the trailer. Once we got everything unloader, they got both the roll-back and the pickup stuck in the snow. I dragged the pickup out with the tractor and we loaded it on the roll-back to give it some weight, and they were on their way....

I'd like to be able to trailer it, but I can't figure out how without getting a 3/4 ton pickup with a 12k to 13k towing capacity and a 14k trailer. So for now, it stays in one place.
