New Landini 4140 Delivered Today

[mwb]

Congrats on the new machine! I have the Montana version of yours (i think slightly smaller, I only have 39HP) You will be very happy with it! The HST is so nice to work with...

The only thing you are missing is a set of pallet forks - once you have use them you will wonder how you did without.

Cheers,
Mike

Thanks Mike, they are on my "possible" list - that's one reason I started that "what attachment don't you use much" thread, to gather ideas like that! First, I'll learn how to use what I have . The Pat's Easy Change and the replacement top link cylinder arrived today, so I'm set to go!

I have been looking at a Landini 4140 at a dealership
in Pleasant Lake Yarmouth County. After reading your
remarks on this make and model, I have decided to
purchase one. Thank you very much for helping me to
make difficult but important choice.

You won't regret it, willtell! If you're using it to clear snow you'll likely want tire chains at least for the rear, unless your drive is totally flat. I just bought a set and it made a huge difference. This tractor is heavier than a lot of them in the same size range, so it is great for digging, boxblading, etc.where weight is a benefit. Enjoy and post some pics when you start using it!

Nice machine! I've got an LS machine also and I'm happy with it.
How did the toplink fail? I just added one last week and I'm curious how it failed?
Hose bust? thanks and congrats!

PS: where are the remote levers located on your tractor? Behind you right leg/calf or somewhere else?

Slacker, the hydraulic cylinder must have had a seal failure or something, it was internal. And yes, the remote levers are down by my right thigh - I had to look at them every time for the first month or two to see them, but now I can just reach down and grab the right one.

Also, have placed an order for pallet forks, I have a few jobs lined up for this summer that they'll be useful for.

Since you are getting forks, here is another must have . I made this grapple add-on for my forks. This moves A LOT OF BRUSH and the grapple only added about 60 lbs to it. I have it plumbed back to the rear remote. This grapple is no good for rocks though.
