New machine!

Took delivery of a John Deere 4052R with the “snow cab” today! Nice machine. Looking forward to heat and A/C! Replacing my Massey 1742.

Spiffy

Now its time to invest in a set of tire chains. Both my tractors are bigger/heavier that your beauty but they are helpless in a heavy snowfall without chains on the tires.

Good to know! Thanks

Spiffy

They’re all spiffy when they’re new !!
Won’t last long!

That's a nice upgrade. Going from the Massey 1742 to the John Deere 4052R with a cab is a big step up for comfort. You're going to really like having the heat for snow work, and the A/C for summer jobs.

TConnolly - very nice tractor, and your barn really caught my attention! Very impressed with the post and beam and finish work! Do you have any more pics you can share of the outside too?

is that a pine frame with T&G pine in between and did you have that milled or from your property?

 

[stucknutz]

I dont know what looks better the tractor or the barn it's sitting in!

 

[Rustyiron]

Beautiful tractor and timber frame! I think it's perfect timing for the weather forecasted for us in Maine.

Like others I also noticed the nice looking shop along with your new tractor. I’ll show my ignorance on bigger JD’s, is a “snow cab” an option or is that just what you call it.

That's a wicked nice setup.

Nice tractor and shop!

Looks like an expensive door on the shop. Nice

Very nice tractor and barn!

I'd address traction in snow by taking steps. Try it as is. My first tractor with R4's worked OK like that. Next two tractors "went under the knife" (hot knife). The grooved tires have handled everything since around 2012.

The pine is from Maine but not from our property. The frame is Douglas Fir from Canada. Barn is 56’X 40’ and is three years old.

Very impressive structure - we had logs milled from our property here in NH 14 years ago and I am still using the 4000 BSF of lumber (white pine and oak) for trim, flooring and building. Don't want to hijack your thread - but here's the barn with metal roof and framed with rough 2x6, then a post and beam summer house we built a few years ago.

It's great to see other barns and buildings done well! Nice work!

It’s a signature door from the timber frame company. Maine white pine with a Mahogany frame.

We also a John Deere 4610 with turf tires. That one goes through the snow very well!

Very pretty! Timeless construction!

I think we've seen some pictures of your barn in the past. Minor intererior pic iirc but enough to make an impression.

Beautiful. I have a slightly smaller 3033R set up. Love it for snow removal.

Heads up … make sure that left hand glass door is fully closed when pulling into the barn. (Ask my why I mention this )
