stu, did you get the rear tires filled? is it hydraulic shuttle? how do you like the air ride seat? i don't have that, but i'm thinking about getting one. i bet you'll love that mower. mine is similar, but it's a landpride. all out of questions for now.

Bill,

No I didn't get the rear tires filled, and thats because I didn't need a front end loader on this tractor. If/When I get a loader for this tractor then I will get the tires filled.

Yes it's a hyd shuttle shift, and the air ride seat is great!

Thanks, it's a 1997 Powerstroke that I bought new in July 1997, and still runs great!

I had to put a 50hp Tow chip in it, installed 3" down pipe, and removed the cat and muffler, but the rest is still all original.

How does that truck pull that machine and trailer? I have L48s with a new F450 and it is great, but I would be concerned with a single axel truck like yours. Does it push it around at all? That is alot of steel behind you from the pics. Nice machine!!!

Do you have AC?? Probably a dumb question since you're in FL with a cab, I would guess AC is a must or the cab would heat up too much in the sun?? (AC is not much of an issue here in upstate NY. More concerned with heat!!)

Trailer and Tractor weigh around 11,000 and yes I know the load is back there but I have not had a problem with this load or other ones around the same weight.

Not a dumb question, and yes it has AC and Heat. The AC wasn't the primary reason for the cab, it was the darn yellow jackets that just seem to find me evey summer........last year I got stung 12 times, 3 times in one day.......and so yes the AC will be nice.........but not having to worry about getting nailed by yellow jackets is worth it to me.

stu, i don't know if you're interested, but kubota makes a grill guard that will fit on your tractor. it bolts right on behind the front weight bracket. it is not the regular grill guard. it might be handy if you get into heavy brush when mowing.

Thanks Bill, I will look into it, I'd like to have one!
