LOL, same problem on my end, but no way my mx5100 would ever fit, so in the process of putting up a new building. Winter stalled me till spring tho, so have to deal with it for a few more months.

No way I could fit your tractor in my shop. What bothered me was the idea that one day I would forget....

TS,

You have been greatly blessed. A really nice new tractor, a gracious and understanding wife, and a lovely daughter. Congratulations.

RFB, you sir, are correct. I also have another daughter who is just as precious. I have no complaints in my life whatsoever. God has been very good to me.

Tried to do some box blade work this weekend, but much too muddy. Just made a mess of it all, so I hooked up the bush hog and headed over to my other property. Put a total of 7.5 hours on it now. Had a ball and got some much needed work done. Filled it up on my way home, 6.9 gallons. Just under a gallon an hour. Man I love this thing. Pushed fallen trees out of the way and shoved them down a hill with no effort. Moved a bunch of heavy rocks that I've always mowed around before. What a beast.

Also to follow-up to WelderMike: Mike, the Pats system for the quick change is really nice and easy. One thing though; I had to buy a new 3rd arm that is longer to reach the attachments and have adjustment room because the Pats system extends the lower arms' hook points by several inches. Only $32, but something to take into account while you're at the dealership. I actually like it better than the one that came on it anyway. It's beefier and adjusts much more easily.

TS,

If you have rear hydraulic remotes ( at least one) you might want to investigate a rear hydraulic top link (what you called the third).

I recently bought one from Brian, a poster here (MtViewRanch) makes a product line called Fit Rite. Excellent quality and service, and the hydro top link is one of those "why did I wait so long" items.
