It's finally home - new 5075M.

Just got it unloaded off the trailer an hour or so ago. It's been sittin' at the boat harbor in Seward for a couple of days - got seagull **** all over it!

Shipper didn't bother to call until my dealer started rattlin' his cage!

It's a big 'en..!! Makes my JD 110TLB seem like an ATV!

Cab is very quiet; and warm - yes! :dance1: Reverser is smooth - and I only hit the right foot brake 3-4 times reaching for the reverse eHydro pedal! :confused2:

I'll post some pics in a few days - gotta get it washed and cleaned up a bit.

Stopped at the landfill and got weighed before coming home - 22,500lbs - that's 500lbs over the truck's GVWR. (Ever hear of anybody getting fined for 500lbs? Kinda curious - don't really know.) Had to drop the rear blade and the bucket off onto my buddy's trailer; I woulda been nearly 2,500lbs over if I hadn't!)

Congrats AK, did you snap any pics of it loaded on the trailer? You must feel like a 10 yr old on xmas morning.

Matt:thumbsup:

AKfish,
Glad you finally got it home! This is going to be a nice tractor for you.:thumbsup:

About the weight on the truck, I suspect that most people get by with this since you are below 26,000 lbs. I agree that it is best to not overload any vehicles in the event you get in a bad accident lawyers would be quick to point out you were overloaded.

Congrats........ let us know how she performs. As always, work seems more like play with a new toy.

ENJOY!

Nope... it was blowin' ~15mph with rain! Went thru rain 3-4 stretches along the 100 mile trip - just wanted to get home!

Yah; sittin' in the cab is a rush!

Yeah.... they'd have you a pretty bad noose for sure!

They're comin'... (pics) I cleaned up the bird poop today. Man, it just streaks down everything! I'd like to give 'em a reason to **** --- 12 gauge and No. 4 shot! :shocked:

I'm trying to finish one of my pole barns and get goin' on a greenhouse/high tunnel - 35'x60'.

No shortage of projects around this place!

Want/need to go thru my baler and mower, too. Everything was good when I put 'em to bed last fall - but need to be sure.

Oh yah, new carb and air cleaner on the 9N, too. Gotta make sure it'll be ready to rake and maybe run the tedder with it.
