Got it home last night. Had a little "get to know you" session with it this afternoon and installed an ambient temp gauge from Tech Instrumentation.

Beautiful !!! Congratulations !!


How does it fit in the garage? Usually with the R4s they'll just barely squeek under a 7' door opening. Since I have the taller turfs I had to remove some trim and re-do it a bit thinner.


Looks like you will need to come up with a way to rotate that chute pretty soon.

No problem getting into the garage, the door is 8' high and 16' wide. But it only goes into the garage when I'm working on it. That way I have wood stove and Kerosun going.
It's normally stored in a separate 25 x 30 steel building with a door that's 9' high and 10' wide.
The chute may be a project after the season when the weather is warm. For now, I can open rear window and reach the handle without too much trouble.

Lots to follow on some other threads that deal with installing speakers, dome light, new lollipop lights, etc.
WaxMan and 4shorts have many good ideas and are generous with sharing knowledge and tips from their projects.

Good advice and thanks. I really like the pallet forks and will be taking pointers from the places you alluded to.

I only have experience with Payne's clamp on forks. As I stated in another thread, I had to have them within like 2 days of ordering because I had a steel building being delivered (banded together sections). I needed something to unload it from the tractor trailer.
I've seen some units that look a little better built and possibly cheaper on ebay, so do your homework and decide whether you want to go in that direction or if you'd rather have the forks that go on a quick attach or the skidsteer type. Lot of options out there.

Last I recall, the radio through Kubota was $250+ ....... for half that you can get an aftermarket radio with Ipod and USB inputs,etc.

Its been over a year, but when I was shopping tractors, my local dealer was quoting approximately 10% off list price before any haggling. I'd call that pretty average.... if you are doing better than 10 off list you are doing pretty well.

What NH dealer was that?

Thanks
