New Tractor

Well it didn't take long to do exactly what you guys said. Level indicatior got pulled off and twisted. Mirrors kept getting pushed toward doors. So I took off the mirrors. Next will be the radio antenna.

Man, you guys must be good with your bucket. I couldn't live without a bucket level indicator.

How are you ripping this stuff up.?? What are you catching it on.??

I guess it got caught on fallen part of tree that I picked up with grapple. Bushhogging lot of secondary growth, briars, etc that are as tall as tractor, or get too close to un-pruned trees that have low limbs pushing on mirrors.

Ya, I can understand if you are working in the woods a lot.

Nice tractor and cab. Looks like you had plenty of tongue weight for the haul.

She towed just great. I had a WD hitch on, and was at 9.4K.

I have knocked off two bucket level indicators now. Both times while working in brush under trees with my grapple. Don't think I'll replace it again unless I start doing a lot if grading. Close to a Franklin to replace.
