If the pics of your tractor are anything like the pics on your website, I'd say we're all in for a real treat! /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Nice website!

Wow! that sounds good! That is a good tractor for that amount of land. The only thing to seriously consider adding (since I love to spend your money) is rear hydraulic remotes with top and tilt (but you can do that later after you recover).
Ditto on the delivery pictures. We all get excited on delivery day and want to share it with you.

Congrats! Put in 3 remotes if you can - you'll use 'em. I run the Woods 9000 back-hoe on an updated sub-frame on my 5030HSTC and it works fine. Keep us posted with pics - especially the grapple.

I'll call the dealer tomorrow and ask about this. What does this option cost?

Thanks

Major congrats on your purchase. That will be one awesome machine (even if it's not green) /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif You'll love the RBG grapple from WR Long. That thing will really tear up jack. I would like to think that I was influential in your decision to purchase that piece. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

We do all froth at the mouth when people post pictures of delivery day. Please don't let us down! /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Congradulations on the new tractor! Sounds like you got alot of neat attachments to go along with it. Pictures, pictures, pictures!

Congrats on your new tractor! You will really enjoy using it. Looks like you included plenty of attachments with your purchase. It will be hard to decide which implement to use first. Hope you have fun!
