First day doing tractor work, pics!

[btward79]

I went out this evening for my first run doing tractor work. Just picked up a box scraper from my neighbor. Someone should have told me these things are so much fun! What I got done in just over an hour would have taken me months. Actually it probably would have never happened. I filled in some holes where I pulled out stumped a couple years back. I pushed a big pile of rocks off the road and I scraped our whole driveway which is fair size. Did I mentioned I didn't break a sweat?!

I attached some pictures. Just like any CK30 I suppose except this one is mine.

One question though. I don't think my tac works correctly. It seems to only go to 500rpm and not go much higher if at all. Any thoughts on this?

Your tractor looks great bt, and looks like a nice place ya got. As far as your tach- it should be idling higher than 500 rpm, and I'm sure your running higher than that with your BB on, so something may not be working right there. Also, go ahead and slap up your ROPS for grins and giggles. Ya never know when you might need it up.

Using your tractor to complete tasks, most definitely gives the operator a satisfied feeling. Can you imagine having a FEL and all the possible future tasks that you would be able to complete using one. Best wishes.

The tractor looks very sharp and trim and a bit smaller without the loader on there. I wonder how many they actually sell without a loader?

My son and I were discussing just that today. My guess is that probably half the compact tractors sold have an FEL.

Yep, sure looks naked without that loader Brandon. Bet you can't wait.....
Yep, mine idles at 10500 rpm and most of my work is around 2000 up to about 2200. Never had to go more than that although some say you should as it is harmful if you don't. Still going great after 7 years.

What some may be missing is the Federal Law that mandates if you are over 50 years old and have or get a tractor it must have a FEL..
Worked for me anyway. :thumbsup:

 

[Daguvanuh]

Well, it "would" be a good law... and I'm sure they will pass one someday..

Your life just a whole lot easier...enjoy.
