Hi from Central New Hampshire

[sixdogs]

Congrats on the purchase. A new machine is pretty exciting. You may say that's too much HP now but let's see what you think in six months. Photos would be great.

Sorry guys but no pictures yet. I will get this bad boy delivered Saturday morning.
I purchased this at Profile Powersports in Conway, N.H. These guys are in town and they had very good pricing. No sales tax either, so that makes a big difference too. I felt comfortable with the folks there.

I am pretty pumped about this tractor. It will come with a bit of a learning curve I suppose.
I will only be moving snow and firewood for a few months. In the spring I can start by digging out many stumps and doing some site work.

Profile Mike are you the guy the that put the tractor together?

Garand man are you a member of the NES forum?

Thanks all,

Hi folks,

I have been lurking on this site for some time now. I have a home here in Conway, New Hampshire. I am looking to get a tractor for snow removal and yard work.

My current plow truck is getting a little tired, so I figured a tractor with FEL would give me what I would need in the snow removal department.
I figure the FEL will get alot of use around the yard.

Anyway, I am looking at the Kioti models at a local dealer. I am liking the ck35 alot.
I guess I would rather have too much horsepower than not enough.

This is a great site and thanks for all the tractor info,

Hi, Welcome to TBN, Jim..Conway, NH, a lovely place. You cannot go wrong with the tractor you mentioned. Strongly recommend heated cab and 50 to 60" rear mount snowblower with remotes for chute steering and filled tires plus rear chains. The tractor will pay for itself, with the snowfall there in the White Mts.

Hi Jim, I didn't put the tractor together, but I am the one that is in charge of the whole tractor division. We will do a thorough walk around with you upon delivery to make sure that you are very comfortable with the tractor before we leave, and if you have any questions along the way, we are just a phone call away. Again, thanks for your purchase.

Yup, I'm Garandman at most non-gun forums: on those it was already taken.

I got delivery of the tractor last Saturday. The tractor was delivered mid morning. The high temp for the day was about 5 degrees F. I let it warm up 20 or so more minutes and got to it. The temp gage never budged past the first line during warmup but the cab was blowing hot air since the tractor arrived. The oil pan felt warm so I figured lets go. I did not want to wailt till March for this tractor to warm up.
I started out playing with the FEl moving snow banks around and such. The temp came as I was using the tractor but would drop quite quickly when idled down. I figured this baby to be a little cold blooded, especially with alot of engine heat going to the cab.

This Saturday the temp was 12 degrees for the high. I took some pipe insulation and wrapped the 3/4 dia heater hose . Alot of it is exposed to the cold air and radiator fan. I blocked the radiator off and jumped in the cab. I cycled the glow plugs a few times and she fired right away.
By the end of warmup I liked where the gage was reading.I unblocked the rad and had at it. The gage fell to the lower end when idled down but is still cold out.

So far I have only moved snowbanks and practiced with the backhoe. When spring rolls around I can begin some heavy digging.
Between the plow truck and the tractor,I fear no snow storm.

The tractor now has 7 hours on it. The wife owns about 1.5 of those hours. I am very pleased with my purchase.
