New Bota' has Arrived..........................

Do you have a 7' or 8' door?

 

7' door but the header is only 80". The ROPS is 81". The ROPS on the last tractor was 78"

 

What made you get rid of the Case? Looks like your near the same HP, the front mount snow blower would be sweet! We don't get enough snow to have blowers except every 3-4 years we get 12-18" at one time.

 

Had the case for 11 years with 893 hours on it. Because my tired old body isn't as flexible as before, I decided a front mount blower would be better. It was going to cost me around $5M to set the case up. Couldn't see investing that much in a 11 yo machine. The Bota is the latest in the BX line (BX 80 series) with a lot of new technology. We have a good dealer close by. He was prepared to deal, giving me $3M less on the case than I paid for it 11 years ago. I now have 2 years "bumper to bumper" and 6 years power train warranty. Thought I'd spoil myself with a early Xmas present with the wife's blessing..............

 

Do you have or plan to add a cab Rotti? I've thought about doing the front mount blower on my JD. If I ever did, I'd have to put a cab on it. It's the biggest reason I decided on trying the ole Jeep for plowing... heat ...

Nice tractah BTW...

 

Thought about the cab Stinny ($5000 option), but it won't fit in my heated garage. Although its nice in the heated cab, I would rather have my entire tractor warm when I start. I just wear my heated motorcycle clothing underneath my Tough Ducks (Canadian version of Carhart) and ear muffs and I'm toasty warm.

 

Looks like a good rig. May it give you many years of trouble free service.

 

Very nice! Congratulations Rottiman!

Happy

 

How is your's running Gas ?

 

You would have to ask the guys at the dealership. They have it, still.

 

That sucks.............but at least something is happening.....................

 

Congrats rottiman !! Nice looking new tractor and just in time for some snow

 

Yup. Hey. How did the tractor do with the snow?

 

Really good, very impressive power-wise. My old one was 25hp and this is 26hp but the performance difference is quite noticeable. The back-up blower works OK, but the front mount should be awesome. I'm VERY Happy, Happy...Happy so far.

 

Is the front blower PTO drive?

 

glad it' working for ya how many inches did ya get assume wet and heavy

 

Yes, powered of the mid PTO (1000 rpm)

 

We got about 4" and there was about a foot of wet glop down at the end of the driveway courtesy of the township plow

 

Nice!

 

Yes, and you can mount and dismount the snow blower in about 1 minute due to the new kwik connect hydraulic system they developed for this new 80 series. You can also run a 60 power broom and a 60 front plow from the same lift system.
