New YT359C on order

[Ffphil]

Thank you to all for answering all of my questions and pointing me to topics already discussed. Purchased a new YT359C today, pick up in a week.

Just one more question, can someone who has one tell me how long one is from bucket to 3 point? I need to plan a trailer to pick it up.

Nice!

Figure on 15 feet and congratulation on your YT 359C.
Did you ask your dealer if he would deliver it?

 

[Ffphil]

Blue 14, it's kind of a long story. Buying it 3 hours away in another state. Saving $13k going to get. It's worth the drive in savings. Going to pick up a new riding lawn mower on the same trip. Probably take the wife and make overnight vacation out of it as well

Awesome man! Congrats, that's one sweet machine...post pics when you get it.

 

[Ffphil]

Will do. Hope to land it in the yard next Saturday.

Fantastic, you're gonna love it! I just measured mine with the loader set down. From the loader leading edge to the back of the three point hitch arms I get 182 inches roughly. Let me know if you have any other measurements needed.

Thank you, that should do. Just want to make sure I bring a long enough trailer as I have attachments to bring home as well.

Do you mind sharing where you bought it from and the deal they gave you? thanks

 

[Ffphil]

Ag West Supply in Hillsboro Oregon. They have a few stores around the state. Tractor was at $39k

 

[sagefruit]

Thanks Ffphil, nice. The brochure says it comes with the loader third function valve, was that the case? Does that mean you just need to add hydraulic hoses and couplers to use grapple etc? thanks

 

[Ffphil]

Sagefruit,

Does come with loader. 3rd function was $1300 extra installed. They gave me $500 worth of excessories (radio in cab and lights off the back) plus filled the rear tires balast.

 

[Ffphil]

Supposed to pick the tractor up this morning but it's not ready!!!! Ugggg!!! The parts for third function haven't come in yet. Decided to come get new lawn mower anyhow so will try and swing by and look the tractor over while here.

My 424 was in stock but had to wait 6 weeks for woods to make the rotary mower so I feel ya. What mower are you buying?

 

[Ffphil]

Jam242ti

We have a brush hog to use on the tractor. Bought a JD X590 for the 2+acres of lawn.

How ya diggin that X590? I love mine...

 

[Ffphil]

Just pulled into the yard with it. And it's RAINING!!! Work tomorrow so it will have to wait till Monday.

so whats the deal with the 3rd function?
The vid I saw of bucket removal did not look like there was anything ready to plug the hydraulics into where they were doing the plugging. Is the valve right there? or is it somewhere else and they run tubes to the connection location?
