DK5010HS ... the waiting begins

[swilk]

Money is paid and unit is hopefully ordered so now the hardest part is waiting on delivery. I also ordered a 66" Wicked Dual Lid Grapple and 3rd function kit .... figured I may as well have them here from day one and put them to use instead of pining for one for the next year then buying one.

3rd function will be installed as part of the deal ... and itll go directly from dealer to tire shop to have the rears filled before making its way to my little piece of heaven to start working.

Nice tractor should be able to do a lot of stuff with it.

Congrats on the new purchase.

Tractor is at the dealer .... Actually laid eyes on it Friday. 3rd function remote is installed but the grapple isn't here yet. I pick up the tractor Monday and will just drive it a few blocks to my local tire shop to have the rears filled then put it on the trailer and head home with it......

Then, if the rain ever stops, the fun begins.

Rears filled. 3rd function installed. It'll have to wait till things dry out a little before being put to work.

Got an email just a few minutes ago that my grapple was shipped today.

After some reading on this fine site I decided to install Pats quick attach lowers instead of going with a quick hitch. Also going to get a hydraulic top link....

Thinking of ordering a Titan BB but not made up my mind just yet.

Congrats on a fine new machine. I've got the exact same one coming, being delivered Saturday!

Are you having any trouble with the extra length from the third function controller? I'm finding the extra length causes the fel control hits the gear shift if I'm in 1st or 3rd. Adjusting it towards the steering wheel provides up and down clearance but if I try to roll the bucket it runs into the gear shift again.

Can the rod itself be replaced with something shorter?

To be honest I dont know yet .... its been sitting in my garage since I got got it. Rain and a flooded river have kept me from being able to do any work. Once things dry out a little bit and I can actually do something with it I will let you know.

Figured while Im here I may as well post some pics of the toy .....

Wow!! That's very nice! I have ordered from EA too, my rake and boxblade were supposed to be here today but I guess FedEx is going to take their time. Your grapple looks powerful, is that the 66"?

Check out the stick thing and let me know. Might just me me and my total lack of experience but I can't find an adjustment where there's not some interference from somewhere.

Also, did they give you lower arm balls? I've got some on the way from my dealer, he said they were supposed to come with it and they're coming straight from Kioti.

I'm pretty sure that his tractor does not have the European quick hitch ends that your tractor has. I thought that you had those put on by your dealer. Picture 4 looks to be std draft link ends to me.
