Nice ride.
Straight off the truck and straight into work I bet too. Waiting for delivery-day is hard.
Enjoy the JD mate.

Sweet!!! Looks like you supersized this time! Is that two people in the cab I see?? I guess you're already taking fares, how much you charging for the ride?

Nice! That tractor looks like its ready for some serious work.

Congrats, be safe and have fun and please post some pictures of inside the cab if you have time.

***DROOL***

 

[jackh]

didnt take any pics inside the cab but it is big enough for two adults to ride in, given the passenger isn't that comfy lol. a/c, heater, cd/radio/mp3, 16f/16r with power reverse, 2 hydrolics in rear... the thing is sick i love it! front bucket is controlled via joystick instead of a stick like other tractors ive been in, i like that a lot too.



plowed the whole thing with a chisel first, this is after the first run on the terrace with an old steel whel turnover plow we have

 

[jackh]

im gonna replace the dinky toolbox seen in the second to last pic with a bigger metal one though. that plastic one is just bolted on but its too small to fit some basic tools youd need in the field

 

[jackh]

well i have a couple old school ones that are much more HD than the little tin things made it china these days. ill have to clean one up and paint it though. any type of metal will be better than the plastic one that comes on the tractor though lol

Howdy neighbor,
Enjoy that nice machine and be careful. Looks like you already know what you are doing. Sure do envy that cab!

It looks like you might live on the other side of Austin from me.

ya we go through giddings on the way to the ranch. were outside lampasas near goldthwaite

 

[TexomaTractor]

Did you get the 1000RPM option? If yes, how is it switching from 540 to 1000? Getting different answers from people...(I just posted this question in a new thread before I saw your post).

Whereabouts is your ranch? Will you be pulling your tractor over to it?

 

[jackh]

ranch is about 10 miles south of goldthwaite on 183 and no the tractor will stay there. we dont have a trailer to move it and if we did, friends would probably always be wanting to borrow it lol
