Can't wait for the morning! Here it is being readied at the dealer today. I couldn't convince them to through the rtv in as part of the package though!

Nice congrats!! I see you got the heavy duty round back bucket, good choice.But why not the Edge guard? It's great for digging and adds strengh to your bucket.

Thanks! The toothbar will provide me added stiffness and support while digging. So I figured I would try without the cutting edge. I may add it later. We'll see how it goes without it to start. I think I remember the dealer mentioning that the tb and cutting edge don't play well together too. Tb mounting gets messed up or something like that.

Very nice but I thought I told you to get a cab. Nobody ever listens to me :-(

What a great day! Tractor arrived this morning and has been a pleasure to run all day. Couldn't be happier. Put 6 hours on today.

By the way it's definitely not that clean any more

Congratulations on your new tractor. It is nice! I was going to remark it was way to nice and clean.

I see that you also got 2 sets of rear remotes. $600 + shipping for a complete Top and Tilt set for your L5740. Sure makes using the box blade a lot nicer.

Beautiful equipment, and a beautiful property to care for... Congrats!

Very nice. Enjoy!

Thanks everyone. Day one started off with road maintenance on my dads 700 driveway. Moved a lot of crusher run to build up the low spots and smoothed with the box blade. The rest of the day went to tearing out sumac that has long been a nuisance. Good day on the new machine. Great day with dad.

Can't wait to do more this afternoon.

Thanks! What is your fuel consumption like? I put a little under 9 hours on this weekend doing loader and box blade work, and I'm still over half a tank. Seems too good to be true.

 

[bucktaker]

mine is not so good it seems like it uses way more fuel doing minor >2rpm work than what I was used to with my old z134 MF35

A tbner posted its about 3.3 gals per hour is the rated fuel burn for than engine MharryE is his name.
