One Nice Machine

It made it! Just wanted to post a quick pic of latest addition. Been wanting one of these for a long time now, and one finally followed me home. :thumbsup: DW has given it a name, "Odie Kubodie", so I guess he's a keeper. :laughing: Pretty impressive so far. All as expected, at this point, but I am sure I will have questions for all who helped on this decision soon.
I believe there were 3 of us that had deliveries this weekend, and look forward to seeing if others are as impressed as I.
One quick question if anyone knows off top of head, what size bolt does the front winch mount take? I have 4 threaded holes needing bolts there, and don't know the size. Metric I would assume?
Thanks to All for all your influence.

Dapper, nice rig! I hope that top is the one I ordered!! Does your gas gauge bounce around? Just curious. Funny I almost bought what you got. I decided to have a cooling off period last week and then found one with the plain black wheels. Your property is beautiful, mine is clay, granite, and weeds!!

Very sharp...Love the wheels, wish that was an option when I bought mine!!

Thanks All! I am sure I will love it once i get use to it.
Property maintenance is the reason I bought Odie to start with. Well I had to justify it some way other than just because I wanted it... :drool:
It can be a full time job keeping up with it but that is what we love. I have about 3ac I finished mow weekly (twice weekly in spring) and another 5ac I keep bush hogged 2-3 times a year. My wife is very good at putting plants in the ground, and it is my job to make sure she has a place to put them... :laughing::laughing: I am sure this really will be a useful tool for what we do, and hope for a long trouble free machine life.
Grunt, I will keep your offer in mind. Thanks.

That's Kubota's new 900 XT. It's got a new bench seat, new alloy wheels (optional), new brush guard, new decals, and most importantly a new transmission. From what I have read about it, it sounds like the transmission compensates for load without lowering engine RPMs. It sounds similar to Deere's Load Match and whatever Kubota calls it on their GL40 transmissions. I've also read that the transmission in the new XT is an 1100 transmission (maybe someone can clarify). :confused2: The new XT is also suppose to have grease zerks on the u-joints. Stopping should also not be as abrupt when letting off the pedal. Shifts are suppose to be easier, as well.
