getting my B7800 monday

[IslandTractor]

Mike,

I noticed in your profile you have your wife listed as one of your tractor attachments. I was wondering if you have her configured for the 3 point hitch, draw bar or front end loader? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif Might be impolite to think she was configured for the mid mount. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

And does she know she's listed?? /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif You are a brave man.

My wife is an after market safety add on.

Whines and moans when I start it up about being careful.
Whines and slaps me about projects that don't get done in time. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif What that has to do with safety is anyone's guess. I didn't do my homework on that one. I think the sales guy put one over on me?

I am surprised more members don't have this add-on? Or have they disabled it? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I had *every* intention of getting a mid-mount mower for my B.

Then a few things happened.....

I went into the woods a lot more - ground clearence issues...

It snowed like crazy one year, again ground height issues...

I borrowed a buddies RFM. Now that thing rocked my world.
Easy on and off, and a great finish to boot!

So the mid-PTO has never seen action on my B.

I usually leave the FEL on, and nothing in the back.... your milage may vary.

Have fun!

It's Tuesday, where are the pics? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I didn't realize you could disable that add on. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
That safety feature on mine has continued to evolve and is now taking over the tractor as long as I hook and unhook the implements /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif.
Still a feature worth having.

Yes, you can disable it, but you have to change some of the wiring around after you raise the seat!! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Actually, in my experience with this type of safety device, it actually screams loudest if the seat is left up. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif Makes it very difficult to disable. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

sorry no pics, it has been raining and snowing for the last 2 days. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
my dealer forgot to give me a manual for the tractor. i am getting one off tractorsmart though. will i need to get one from the dealer still, or will the tractorsmart one be all that the factory one is and more?
thanks for the advice so far.

 

[MadDog]

our dealer didn't deliver your owners' manual with the tractor?? /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif I'd insist on it. The shop manuals are useful in addition.

 

[riptides]

We will take rain pics!

I'd get the manual, AND a few hats, AND some implement pins.

This is after all a long term relationship!
