Nope, fluid fill your rear tires, you won’t go wrong. Simple physics.

Rick, My Kubota 5140 was ballasted up by dealership for the previous owner.(has all the bells and whistles except a Cab w/ Sound & A/C) As a bare tractor it's weight was aprox 5160 lbs After dealer installed Loader & bucket, front weight, rear wheel weights & ballast in rear tires in now weights aprox 8920 lbs

Just a few more pics of my KUBOTA L4710 DT w/ 66" dual-lid EA grapple-bucket... I know how we all love to look at tractor pics... Should be obvious why I like this particular configuration...

I could heat my house for a week with that wood you are open burning. Nice grapple by the way !

The pics you're sharing are methodically illustrating an intelligent and well thought out buying decision! :thumbsup:

COME AND GET IT...

It breaks my heart to waste all this good firewood... I also hang in the Tennessee mountain/New England coastal areas where I heat my house(s)/domestic hot water (exclusively wood-fired thermo-syphon) with 7-10 cords/year... In Florida they have Live Oak which is some of the best heating/smoking wood... The recent hurricane (IRMA) damaged/destroyed MANY of these trees and there is no market for the wood... I WISH I could salvage more of it... I currently have 7+ cords of oak cut/split/seasoned for fireplace/stove-wood, 1+ cord of oak pizza-oven wood, several cords of oak for cooking/smoking, several cords of oak bonfire wood and MANY pine lumber-logs and some rotting firewood wasting AWAY AND I AM JUST A SMALL-TIME TREE FARMER... Some day 'they' will recycle all wood the way we currently recycle copper/aluminum... BTW, I chip almost all my brush and turn it into mulch/potting soil and I sell all my extra pot ash to local organic gardeners... I will/do custom cut/split... So, I am trying, but it is sad to see so much going to waste... I doubt that you/ET al have any idea how much is really/actually wasted... I am trying/doing what I can...

Today I finished cleaning-up from hurricane IRMA... Took 5 months, burned 135+ brush/debris piles and at least 30 LARGE long-leaf-pine trees/logs along with a LOT of chipping/mulching... NOTE: Could not have done this without my dual-lid EA Wicked Grapple Bucket... These pics don't show a lot of action, just a little tractor/grapple-****... I have already started the next project, installing a 50' HAM radio antenna tower (does not involve a EA grapple, sorry, no pics)...

What are the rags covering the cylinder shafts for? .........Bill

What are the rags covering the cylinder shafts for? .........Bill

Oily rags wrapped on hydraulic cylinder shafts help protect them from rusting/getting scratched... When the lids are closed, (which is the 'normal' way to store the grapple-bucket) the shafts are exposed, so I keep them covered/wrapped... I put that pic in there as a reminder...
