I've resembled that pic a few times this week.
The most troubling was when I was in reverse with a big brush pile in tow, and when I tried to turn a bit out of straight, the tractor went the opposite way... it took a while to realize that the weight on the front tires was over-riding the back and when I turned them to push the *** end around, the whole thing just crabbed in the direction of the MFWD tires were heading.

Very cool, you mean to tell me that you guys build each one to order vs setting up a production run with diffrent stations to save time? I say that because it looks like the guy in the back is welding on a rotary cutter.

Hey! Any chance you could take a picture of the one you're building for me? (yeah, like I could tell the difference, but, it would be kind of cool! I could document it's life

Thanks. Yep, that's a rotary cutter!
Keep in mind, we're a small business!
We do not build each one to order, but we do not have mass production runs either. We try to keep a couple of each size in inventory.
It's kinda tough because our factory is a few miles away from our sales/storage/final assembly/shipping facility.
We make multiple shuttle trips each day with the dually and gooseneck to bring in newborn attachments! :steeringwheel: :cloud9:
Sales have been consistently on the rise, so the short term plan is to grow into a larger facility where everything is under one roof!

It looks like yours is already in existence, but i'm sure pics can be arranged.
When it's daylight, anyway!

You know what's funny? When I'd bought my B7800 (first tractor) it didn't arrive until after I'd just bought it's first implement (a rotary cutter). Now here I am almost six years later, seemingly, doing the same thing (getting implements BEFORE the tractor arrives)!
What about a thread for pallet forks?
I'll be looking forward to the NX5510 plus your pallet forks over what I'm currently using (might not look it, but THIS IS EXTREME- some of these I can barely turn the steering wheel when lifted!):

I think EA is going to have to look at something other than HP when deciding which implement to recommend. I understand the fear, but the reality is that half a ton hanging off the end of my loader BEFORE I grab anything is just too much. If I didn't already have 1800lbs of juice in my tires, I don't think I could use it at all. My tractor is just too light, regardless of the HP.
I should have purchased the heavy duty Wicked of the same size and saved almost half the initial weight.
Ted/Travis... I really think you should look into this issue.
