Some one ordered a new toy today...

[Waldo]

Its finally here and surprisingly enough, the wait didn't kill me!

 

[Waldo]

This is how I have it configured right now for the fun... err work that is /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[Waldo]

Hey Steve, wanna race? /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

 

[Waldo]

Sucker /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Steve is on a GT235E with a 48C MMM
I have 240 lbs of wheel weight, FEL, 72" landscape rake and just under an extra 100 lbs of operator /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

On paper it should have been a close race. The GT goes 8 mph the X goes 8.5 mph. Due to the weight difference, I thought I should just creep ahead. Well, I smoked him (really bad to) /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Well, you know "boys and there toys"...

 

[Waldo]

Here is one of me "working" /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

 

[Waldo]

Here is the last one, for now...

I have tried out all but the MMM and am very happy with all of them. If any one has any requests, let me know.

I like the work lights where did you get those? Dealer installed or DYI project?

 

[Waldo]

Those not only look cool, but also work great! I had the dealer install them as part of my "package deal". You should have no problem installing them your self. I think they were around $35 each. I will modify the dealers wiring some time down the road because of the goofy way you have to disconnect them when the loader is removed. If you need more info, let me know. I can also take some pics if you need me to.

Did my "short cut" method work for you (regarding removing your MMM with the loader still on)?

Happy tractoring,
Waldo

Nice looking tractor you got there. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Congratulations on a great looking rig, I was curious what differences make it a "special edition"?

Thanks

The special edition is kind of like an option package that you would order on your car / truck. The standard comes with turf tires, the special edition has the heavy duty all purpose. The special edition has front fenders, a more comfortable seat and cool looking wheels. To tell you the truth, the seat alone makes the difference! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif Here are several pic's so you can see what I am talking about.

Here are the wheels.

Sorry it took so long to answer your question, I have been out tractoring /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[Waldo]

Here are the front fenders.

 

[Waldo]

Here is the awesome seat.

 

[Waldo]

This is an adjustment on the front of the seat that you set to your weight. This makes the seat feel like an air ride set up that they have on the big tractors.

 

[Waldo]

The large knob in the center of the pic is the lumbar adjustment. The smaller one above and to the left of the big one is to adjust the pitch of your arm rest (right now it is up and out of the way).

 

[Waldo]

This large knob is on the other side and adjusts the back angle of the seat. This arm rest is down right now, but can be adjusted just like the other side or flipped up to get it out of the way.

Thanks!

I have just over 8 hours on it now all using the landscape rake and have only used 1/4 of a tank of diesel!

 

[thebigc]

Those front fenders are neat! How do they mount up? I wonder if they could be adapted to my 4100. My R4s do tend to throw some mud and snow when you travel on pavement after some "off-roading"!!

Real nice rig there. Sure gotta like that color /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif I realy like the seat mine is showing a little wear, but not bad.;

 

[Bellville]

David, thanks for all the pics, the special edition is really nice! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Glad you were to busy using it to answer right back, enjoy!

Thanks
