Bobcat 2540 vs NH Boomer 50 Cab

[rngrrymd]

Bought the Boomer 50 with cab!
Waiting on third fx and hydraulic top link to come in and get installed before I get it delivered. Maybe 1wk or so.
Also getting a set of 42" pallet forks.

Next purchases, I think will be:
MKL RK5 60" Grapple
King Kutter 84" YR-G Rake
-Still contemplating those.

Then I will have to decide on hay equipment, thinking used for those and not sure what yet. (We did hire out our hay 2 years ago, but last year they totally flaked on us and it didn't even get cut)

Congrats! The third function is super handy. I have a grapple already and I'm getting prices on a SSQA auger that runs on the 3rd function right now. I'll probably have to cave and get a hydraulic angle snow plow this fall. I used the bucket in float this winter but I damaged the driveway in a couple spots the 1st time I cleared snow with the bucket before I got the hang of it. You should get a set of SSQA Forks they are super handy as well.

Quick attach Forks are coming with the tractor delivery.

For snow I am planning on just using the FEL and Rake. I only had to do our drive once last winter, if it's less than a few inches I just leave it be.

Also I was thinking about getting a 3pt auger with 9" bit for planted trees. FEL better than 3pt for augers?

They got the 3rd fx installed and hydraulic top link, delivered yesterday.

Ordered MTL RK5 60" Grapple, got lucky a few days ago and 1 unit became available for order.

Doing some loader work to try it out and noticed the loader will not raise and curl at the same time. Is this a problem with my tractor or just a limitation of how this hydraulic system and loader are designed? If it matters it looks like they installed a WR Long 3rd fx kit.

Looks great Ninja. The best part of the picture is it's in your building and you can actually use it this summer.
