Loving the new tractor (pic)

I’m loving the new tractor and trying to get adjusted to everything.

Awesome looking machine!!! I considered the rk55 strongly, but ultimately decided to go with Kubota MX5800 since I didn't really want a cab for my uses. My dad will likely be buying exactly what you have soon though.

She's a beaut! Gunny - did you ever get any resolution regarding your unlevel loader issue?

That's a really fantastic machine. One suggestion, seeing that it has a grapple. Consider doing something like I have had done to my OEM grill guard. I had a local welding shop attach the expanded metal to my OEM guard.

I would agree. Plan on doing something just like that on mine.

Still very clean!
I got mine a little dusty last week (we are having a minor drought here in the metro-DC area). After major tree work, here I am testing the limits of the grapple, loader, tractor, and pucker (16" thick live white oak over 6ft in some places). VERY slow and VERY deliberate, but moved it 1/4 mile from where it was.
