I don't like to do too much at one time though. Proud owner of a 4 series. I hope this thing can turn hard gravely ground into a sunflower patch. Maintenance/usage/general help welcome.

Well if you had asked beforehand I would've said get one with a cab....now my suggestion is make sure it has a fire extinguisher and a place for a cooler

How the hell would he "go live" and shoot pigs if the damn thing had a cab. You can't expect the man to operate a window and a firearm at the same time if you've followed his previous posts. We do appreciate the effort though.

Grew up with cab tractors. No working A/C. Not taking that risk. I literally got a new Rtic soft cooler in today and it rides well, so I'll stay plenty hydrated.

Glad to see that bucket is getting lots of good use.

I think that bucket with the log in it it a great analogy to the Texags OB....

Buy a 4,000 dollar firearm to shoot paper at 100 yards.



I kid...not really...the good news is that the bucket will get really usage. Nice machine!

Is it too soon to say it is too small?

Giddings. Nice tractor and green and yellow paint is the only way to go.
I can suggest a great add on if you are in hard ground..... they make a full length tooth bar to go on and over the leading cutting edge of your bucket. It works great and the teeth are replaceable. You can simply take it off easily when you just want your straight edge.
Like having two buckets in one.
I actually got mine from the JD dealer in Fredericksburg.... it really helps in digging rocky and hard ground.
Think it cost me 650 or so. Four bolts hold it on.
Have fun and be safe. Always remember they can turn over.

Pallet forks come in real handy! Also, we welded 2 clevis hooks on the top edge of the bucket approximately 6 inches from each end of the bucket. The hooks come in real handy for picking up things with a chain and prevent you from bending the rod that runs between the loader arms. Have fun!

Looks good. Add to the list of wants:

Pallet Forks (makes picking up brush/trunks much easier, plus its normal uses), Disc, Box Blade, and Quick Hitch

I saw someone also mention the clevis hitches on the box, excellent idea and makes attaching a chain a breeze.

Edit: wrong emoji ...

Probably will wish you had a QA plate and bucket to switch front implements, but otherwise - hell for a nice setup you have.

I look forward to you going live on how far you can get the beer to ride on the top of the bucket while driving towards a hog that you thought you shot only to find nothing was there

I was really think about adding these. A buddy of mine had two welded on and said he uses them quit a bit.

For a tractor that size a front quick attach is truly a luxury. Unpin two pins, tilt, back up & the implement is off.

Spot on!!! Five minutes you go from bucket to pallet forks to hay spear, best invention ever!

Thought I hit the winking face. I did not. Figured I'd be the first to give you a hard time about your purchase. Not much to go with on a brand new tractor.

I've heard the same thing from several people about cabbed equipment and I completely understand. Although what I always tell people is that when you were growing up you had no control over the A/C being fixed, now you do. Definitely not necessary, it's too late now, and is one more thing to break.

I unhooked the shredder yesterday in under a minute. Ha ha, it's extremely fast and easy.

One of the more useful attachments I use from time to time is a grapple. You'd need to run hydraulics to the front obviously. On my smaller tractor the hydraulic controls are on the loader stick which makes it really nice and easy.

This isn't going to be it, after you mod it, is it?

NO AMNESTY!

in order for democrats, liberals, progressives et al to continue their illogical belief systems they have to pretend not to know a lot of things; by pretending "not to know" there is no guilt, no actual connection to conscience. Denial of truth allows easier trespass.

My cousin has a 3 point disc he said I could borrow and try on it so I may give that a shot soon.
