Tractor & hoe...Deere 4105, Bota L3800, LS R4041, Mahindra 4025, or?

I have an armstrong ag disc and I like it. I believe Armstrong is based here in Tx. Seems like the Navasota area? Although I'm not sure if they make their own or simply rebrand somebody else's stuff.

What exactly kind of grapple? Is it the grabber type or am I thinking wrong? I think it would be extremely useful. Let us know how you like the tractor.

Yes, i think armstrong is in brenham, tx. Don't know anything else yet

The grapple in pic is "light grapple". This is style of grapple but one he is quoting me on is the BGR 72-11, not pictured. 3/4" down tines. 72", 11 tines

I was looking at the M59 specs, it has almost 4000lbs of lift capacity to full height at the pivot. It is going to take a good grapple to handle what a M59 is capable of. The WR long grapple I linked earlier is rated for 3500lbs.

Looked at WR long and it was $1000 more. Looks good though

Hey everyone. I want to thank all of you for giving me advice. After sleeping on it i realized a small cut with a backhoe will do what i need done. i'll be cussing quite a bit and take twice as long but will eventually get the job done

 

[fbulldog]

Just kidding....ordered the M59

:laughing: That was great, I was hearing the howls of protest from the forum members as I read it. Good one. :laughing:

Congrats, that M59 looks like one helluva machine. :thumbsup:

Congratulations on a nice machine, we will wan't pics.:thumbsup:


FWIW, while I have all Deere machines right now I recommended the Kubota in this case as I felt it was the better choice. It isn't often that a Deere guy recommends a different brand but you have to keep an open mind. The M59 is a great tlb and should last you a long time with proper care and use.

Well since Deere don't make the 110 what choice did you have?

Thanks everyone. It's going to be a long 30 days. Pics when it's in. Taking down some dead trees right now with father n laws tractor. Ready for my own

Congrats, the M59 is a very nice machine.

Congrats!

Congratulations on a fine machine, and excellent decision at the end of the day.

Also taking the time to analyze all the options, and look and listen is not easy to do, but you now have a machine that will last a long time and do a lot of work.

How did you end up getting it equipped?

 

[fbulldog]

Hydraulics front and rear, 3 rear remotes, thumb, armstrong grapple, hood guard, rubber pads on backhoe stabilizers(hopefully will lessen damage to yards), heavy duty loader bucket with blade, 16" quick connect hoe bucket.

One thing i didn't get that i could use soon are the 3 point hookups. I think are around a $1000. Will need those and a brush hog after i clean up a couple places with the grapple.

 

[Green Power]

Is the thumb Hydraulic?
