New Iron On The Way

[Tshot]

So, I bought a blue tractor! Ordered it about 5 weeks ago and it landed at the Dealers this past Friday. I'm told it will be delivered Thursday so I have booked off two days to get acquainted. Now I just need to build something to house it.

Indeed a beauty congrats :thumbsup: don't wear holes in your socks pacing back and forth for Thursday.

Thanks! Yes its like being a kid at Christmas. What do I unwrap first - back hoe or box blade. I just hope they mean Thursday morning - early Thursday morning lol.

Get hot on a building (well not hot for 3 months yet in Ontario)
The provincial tractor inspector will surely levy a fine for leaving a tractor like that outside.

Congrats on the new machine. It’s exactly like mine, just a couple years newer.

Are the coming with the rubber pads on the backhoe stabilizers now?

congrats on the new iron put it to work when it arrives nice rig by the way.

3Lfarms, I was concerned about the missing pads too. I have seen posts (probably yours) where guys had to fab something. I was pleased when I got the photo showing some rubber. Does it look like these pads should do the trick?

 

[3Lfarms]

Those pads will be a lot better than nothing, which is what mine came with.
I am also jealous of your front wheels. The new front wheels can be adjusted in and out just like the rears. Mine are solid and can only be swapped from side to side to give two settings.

 

[Tshot]

The newb needs to ask why would I want to move my wheels in or out? What does that do for me?

 

[3Lfarms]

Traditionally, it was to accommodate the width of row crops so you can set the wheels in the bottom of the furrows.
Lots of people also like to set them as wide as they will go to give better stability on side hills.

One of the rubber feet on my backhoe came off. I am thinking about putting angle iron on for grip.

 

[Tshot]

That's discouraging. Is that something that would be covered under warranty?

 

[mred2]

I might call the dealer. I will only be working it in the pasture or the woods. I was thinking the metal might be better anyway. But would not mind having the rubber, if I had it on the driveway and digging to the side.

Might want to adjust those mirrors before putting it to work..

Hawkeye, not only adjust the mirrors, but also fully lock down the bucket as only one cam isl locked down.
