Picked up the 5035 on Thursday.

Picked up the new 5035 HST in Fl last Thursday morning and had it at our NC mountain place by that evening. Only got to use it for 2 days but it'll be there waiting when I return.

This equipment pushed the absolute limit of that 18' trailer. New trailer may be in the future.

Awesome photo with the grapple, a very capable looking machine you have there! Safe tractoring. :thumbsup:

Thanks Mike476. Still need to fill the rears. All of my supplies weren't here in time to do it this weekend but it's getting done on the next trip. That grapple is to aggressive to NOT have some serious ballast on the rear. As you can see from the photo, out place has some serious slopes as well which get hairy without a lot of weight to the ground.

See you have an electric switch for your grapple valve on the side of your FEL control. Plus, two rear remote levers right up there next to it, too. Nice setup....!!!!! Enjoy..

Looks great congrats, I like that grapple.

Where in NC did you say that was? And how do you know it will be there?

Hahaha! I was waiting for that.

Thanks. The addition of the rear remotes was entirely due to the insight gained from reading this forum. They won't get used right away but I hope to use this tractor for quite some time and wanted to be prepared for future needs.

Another "grappled up" 5035. Very nice and congrats Flatpik!
Ya, definitely get the rears filled prior to tackling big stuff.
Have fun!
