New Baby on Way (M95s)

[GeneD14]

I just got back from trading in my L4330 in on a slightly used M95s with 250 hours on it. It should be delivered Monday or Tuesday. What a great stocking stuffer.
Here are a few pictures.

On my old tractor I had a Pat's quick hitch and really liked it. The new tractor is a cat II and the implements are much heavier so I want some type of quick hitch. I will be switching between a box scraper, rear blade, and a tiller. I saw Land Pride markets their quick hitch device through Kubota. Any idea if it works well or how much it costs?? Thanks,

MmmmmmmmmmmmM95. That's really nice Gene. You're ready for some serious work, now. Would love to have one of those.

How is it ballasted in the rear? Cast wheel centers? Are the rears filled?

Let us know how you like it when you put it to work.

The rear wheels are cast iron and the tires are being loaded with washer fluid. For heavy loader work I may still need to use wheel weights or a heavy implement on back.
I can't wait to try it out

Kinda small, isn't it?

Now that's a real tractor. I hope it brings you many years of faithful service!

Sure wish my stocking was big enough for Santa to bring me a rig that nice!

Great looking machine and congrats'

That is as much of a jump up for you as me going from an L 3830 to an M5040 cab. You will love the added power.

It is a big jump in size but I didn't want to have to struggle with bigger implements and end up trading up again. I have the heavy Markham grapple and with the 4330 it made the tractor unstable even with lots of ballast. I figure the M95 could handle big logs without much trouble or a 15' batwing mower if I end up getting one. Plus the deal they gave me was to good to pass up.

I also had a bolt on grapple on m "L" and the rears were off the ground way too many times. I knew it would be just a matter of time before I had an extreme pucker factor. I now have that same grapple on the "M", the added lift capacity is great.
