    All fine and good around the house and farm. I Inspected over 1000 miles of welds for ships, That was part of my Job for the US Navy and USCG, if it looks like $#!T, then it most likely is!

    Very nice! You will wonder how you got along without it.

    If it doesn’t have it already look into upgrading the seat to a suspension or air ride. Your back will thank me but your wallet won’t. And if you are going to do any work at night the factory lights are lousy for loader work and you don’t have any rear facing lights.

    Nice paint! :binoculars: :thumbs:
    So what model is that? The number on the loader arm is the loader model, right? Edit: Nevermind, I see it now...
    Looks like it has a suspension seat...?
    :yes: on more lights! There are some really nice LED "tractor lights" out there these days!

    It has a very soft comfortable seat and it's (spring suspended) I already entertained the thought of rear facing LED lights and also, (while were on the subject), a Sun Canopy and already ordered side mirrors! :yes: I wish it had a dual Beer holder :drunk: so I don't have to keep jumping on and off everytime I run out! :whistle:;)

    Thanks T! The ONLY thing I'm not crazy about is that exhaust re-gen Bull$#!T. It has plenty of power, 48hp and it'll do everything I need I'm sure. :yes: I still have my 1974 IH but I gotta devote a few days to that, she needs help. :(

    No- you just need to add a cooler holder and be done with it!

    I paid for it!!! Added... Yes, I already looked at grapples also. The Mahindra dealer had a few on the lot. :emptywallet: This has been in the workings for about a month or more.

    Good eyes! That is something that I wish I had on my JD 5420. The grapple works OK with the standard controls but would be much more efficient with the 3rd function.

    Thanks much!:yes: I did lots of research on tractors all winter, believe it or not before I set my mind on the Kubota. What did it was an advertisement for the 0.00% financing o_O:D:cool: :tears:. I couldn't pass up the deal. It was a bit more then I really wanted to spend but I figured it was a once in a lifetime purchase. I was actually looking at the L3302 and after I started adding on things, the price kept creeping up to the one I got. o_O I did add the 3rd function, quick release bucket and wider bucket with the edge guards, and the L4802 came with those new spiffy Titan tires! :cool:
