Congratulations Mopar,
You're going to go crazy waiting for that thing to get delivered. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif I actually went to the dealer before mine was delivered to watch some of the prep work and well... just drool over it.
I hope your's comes sooner than the 2 months I waited for mine. Of course there was a ton of prep for mine on account of the BH, lights, snowblower, hooks etc.
One thing you might want to talk to the dealer about before they prep your tractor... My dealer welded in some stop tabs to limit the rise of the blower to <8". Otherwise you will encounter chafing/rubbing with the chute against the grill guard.
This won't be a problem if there is no grill guard. The fact that the stop tabs limit the hydraulic rise doesn't affect maunevering too much. You just have to be a little more careful if you back up a short, steep bump, especially if turning while backing up so that you don't catch the corner of the blower on the ground.
Glad we could all be a help to you Mopar. I know TBN members made a real difference in my overall decision and general education on tractors and they continue to this day. A great group of people!
I look forward to seeing pictures, especially of the snowblower next winter as I don't think there will be much snow left by the time it arrives. You and Tanuke are the only other TBN members that have the 59" blower to the best of my knowledge. Tanuke helped convince me to get the blower, I helped you - maybe you can get some other folks hooked on it and continue the tradition /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Well let us know when it arrives and post some pictures /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif
Best of luck!
