And its put off again.....

Still waitin on some of the parts for the dual remotes(dealer says he has the valve but not the levers and hoses

)
he said if I wanted to pick it up this Saturday I could but I cant see going and borrowing a trailer(38 miles round trip)and then picking up the tractor(120 miles round trip) taking the trailer back and then eventually having to take the tractor back and pick it up again.
I have many things I would like to do w/ it that I have been putting off b/c a loader would make it 100x easier but it looks like if I keep putting them off Im gonna be doing it in winter weather...
Oh well what can ya do. He cant make the parts majically appear

Well just had to let it out before going nuts.:confused2:

EMB5530,

Before you have your 5530 delivered make sure your remotes and connections will be covered for any leaks after you have taken delivery. My two remotes were also installed by my dealer. I did have a leak and brought it to the attention of my dealer and it became a major leak as time went by to the point where a nut came loose. Tried to secure it my self but no room to manuver a wrench. Called him up and they came on site to take care of the problem. I assisted the mechanic and it is a job which calls for metric wrenches and the entire seat must be removed to get to the hydraulic line connections to properly secure the lines. Just a word of advice when having non factory installed remotes.

Just started cleaning fence line and fixin fence man it would be handy if I had a loader w/ some forks to move brush piles(osage orange) around.
It might be a little easier and less painful (hands look like ive been practicing acupuncture):laughing:

Hopefully it will be ready next week:licking:

Really be nice to borrow my cousins tree sheer.
