In retrospect.

In light of everything. I moved some trees that I had cleared around and done alittle bushhogging. I must say the machine is fine. I do see where I'm going to miss the shuttle shift that was on the 5310. I think I found a grove though. I chose B range and using 2nd gear I could shift between 2nd and Reverse pretty smoothly concedering the transmission type. The only unforgiveable aspect is that the gearshifter and joystick is on the same side so its hard to select direction and work the bucket at the same time. Mind you though I dont plan on using this machine in a sition where this is going to be a major pta. If I had that type of demands I would have gotten a bobcat. right?
The cutter has to be the best I've used. It cut thru brush as big as a questick easly and quietly compared to others I've used. And in 540E.

Forgot to mention the awful pics I took.

Looks like a real workhorse. Good luck with the new machine.

I have'nt got to make her sweat yet. I've pushed some downed trees and alittle bushhogging. She seems to like that better than sitting around in the yard watching the cows stare at her and cars go by. I hope to really tan that hide in the next few day.
