New Home for another M9000HDC3

WhiteRock · Dec 26, 2004

If things go well, My new M9000 should be delivered tomorrow. I am looking forward to putting it to work and experiencing its level of productivity.

The tractor is a M9000 model, hydraulic shuttle, four wheel drive with the ultra Cab II (series 3). I also got the L1251 loader and a Rhino TW84 cutter.

I have enjoyed reading TBN for sometime now and thought I would try to share what I can for other readers that may find the info of value.

I will try to provide additional info as I get it and time permits.

Happy New Year,
Joel

Welcome to TBN! This site is a wealth of knowledge. We just bought a new M5800 at work and that tractor is a fine machine! It's also 4wd and shuttle shift. We got a Rhino 7ft brush hog but no FEL. I'm sure you're gonna be happy with your purchase and I'm sure you'll have plenty of fun on it!

Where in Texas are you? Austin area maybe?

Things did go well and my tractor was delivered this afternoon in time to put on 1.5 hrs. This tractor is quite amazing to me. It is very comfortable and quite. So many of the work noises are removed, I almost feel like I don't know what is going on. I laughed at the thought of putting a radio/music in a tractor. I was wrong, you can actually listen to the radio in this machine.

The machine seems amazingly powerful. I couldn't resist tapping a couple of stumps I had bounced off of with my B7500. I had always wondered just how elastic those stumps were. Well, today I found out. They were not elastic at all, I simply went right through them rolling up a root ball that I don't think I could have drove over. Anyway, felt good. This machine will do some work. I wanted productivity, I think I got it.

Well, I feel like I could write a book right now.

I will try to attach a pic.

Wow! You went from a B7500 to an M9000!! That must be an amazing difference! I love the picture! Have fun with that BIG machine. Nothing boosts the morale more than more diesel HP.
