Just received a final piece of the package. Very useful

What make and model is that grapple it looks impressive. Your making me jealous

It's a combination of manure fork and utility grapple from HLA:

HLA Attachments - Manure Forks

Local guys but close enough to you and I guess you can get it. Price is reasonable as well.

Sweet setup!

Looks like cow's **** is pretty heavy (manure fork with grapple heavy too) and even with cast centers I feel not very comfortable but I found some dead counterweight

Looks nice over all what do you think of the new purchase. Any Complaints or things you really like . I wish i i could have the new shifter and integrated park brake interlock on my M8540

Same here, shifting on mine is far from good, my wife had to move ours the other day and I had to assure her "that's normal".

Low gear range was difficult to switch ON on the beginning but looks like getting better. There is no problem to shift within any range between any of the 6 gears.
Integrated park brake is really good and convenient.
I'm getting used to the new tractor. Obviously it can do much more than my previous L3800. Amount of power is non compatible at all but visibility was much better on the smaller one because it smaller and because of open station.

I was looking for prices/options and perhaps at the end it could've be better to get M100GX. Price difference wouldn't be dramatic but it's too late anyway and I like my M9960
