Are you glad your tractor doesn't have to go through the pressure washer with his tractor and be embarrassed?

One thing is for sure, he is never going to bend the tines on that grapple... loader arms maybe, but NOT those tines. OMG..:shocked:
Thanks for all the compliments. The dealer told me that when the distributer delivered it he said to make sure and tell me "Do not to dig into the ground with lower tines. Just skim across the top to gather things before clamping. Also DO NOT DIG OUT ROCKS, at all." I kinda just looked at the guy a bit funky thinking "how the heck am I going to destroy that thing? If I dig into the ground is it just going to fall apart? And (im not an expert by any means but) picking up a 2000lb rock probably wont bent the 1" thick tine...." I believe its "rated" for 45hp-90hp skid steers..... Good thing is that if I ever upgrade, ill know I wont be needing a new grapple...
Oh and since this is in the buying/pricing section.... $21195 for tractor with loader and loaded tires with free delivery. $560 for 2nd remote installed. $3300 for grapple installed with hoses from rear remote. they also put in an extra set of hydraulic couplers by loader hoses so I can remove loader and leave grapple hoses in place. Only thing that got me a bit ticked off was it took 4 weeks to get after getting approved since we had to wait for the grapple but its not the dealers fault.
