    LOL. I had a tractor with no cab (or snow blower) for years. After the 18-19 9-month winter where I had no place left to put snow and my snowbanks were maxed out height-wise with the loader bucket, I figured it was time for an upgrade last year. I can't turn to well (thanks to getting blown up a few times) so went with the front mounted snow blower. The thing is a beast! And once you have a cab, you'll wonder how you ever got by without it (although it does make going into the woods challenging).

    Welcome

    Thanks Ronaldo. Having this basically as my backyard (and my source of firewood) never gets old.

    Had a CK for 7 years and upgraded to the DK last summer. Thought about an NX but it wasn't in the budget.

    I forgot that you mentioned that, parts? I think there are a bunch of dealers of all different colored tractors dealing with the same thing.

    I hope you get it back soon. Do they have a loaner they can let you use?

    What grapple did you/are you ordering?

    My dealer talked me into a Worksaver 5' model. While its not a bad grapple, if I could go back I would have chosen a different one. I think for logs you'd be best off with a Frostbite style grapple, or a grapple fork. They open much wider, and can hold more.

    I don't believe they do loaners. The sad thing is that it is only in for a service and third-function remote install. If I had a trailer that could handle it, this would never have been an issue (I would have kept it until they were ready). I was just at the mercy of when they could pick it up. I wish I had never gotten rid of my car hauler back in '09. Time to buy another one.
