I like your tooth bar, where did you get it?

Thought I would finally get a picture put up. We haven't done much other than drive it around the equipment lot but will start on a bin foundation tomorrow morning.

Hmmm, looks like his fuzzy math was pretty close. Thanks for all the links.

I know :mrgreen: but for no more than this will be I should be OK... BTW 2 years ago we dug an 11ft deep hole for a storm shelter, our soil profile never changed--just sandy loam all the way to the bottom.

So I will recieve my new 4530 w/FEL on Wednesday. My question is do any of you "old" pro's have any tips on using a FEL more efficiently? Example would be that in the near future I plan to expand my driveway, we live on extremely flat deep soil (no rocks here) and am thinking I will do the dirt...

Thanks I was just curious, I did have tires filled with fluid. It has the R4's, he thought that would add around 1,000 lbs seemed to be little high on his guestimate to me. I won't fault him either way I had already decided to have them filled well before I agreed to buy it.

Just curious, do you have your tires filled?

Interesting I have been looking around for something like that that I could put on a 3 point or could be pulled by my Ranger. Did you already have the box or did you make it? If you made it how did you do the metering?

Merry Christmas to all!!

I had to look around this one is being used for laser leveling but you get the general idea. http://www.preseeder.com/levelbest/image004.jpg Some may call it a scraper, we wouldn't around here.

Oh now I see the confusion!! Heck can't you read my mind?! ;) The loader is the 245 the pallet forks are on the quick attach. Went looking just before lunch at small implements. Anybody got a opinions on a 3pt. box blade vs. a pull type? I could see advantages to both but don't have...

My stuff is at the office, they are the 3,000lb set.

Yep, did the quick attach unit. 48" I believe

Well it's official I went in and agreed to purchase the 4530 today! I will pick it up Wed. The dealer has to get the fluid put into the rear tires and also get the front forks ordered. Pretty excited and already making a list of projects that I would have otherwised hired out. One question...

Thanks for welcome! I would've went and bought it today but the owner of the dealership won't be back until Friday. I will make sure to post a pic or two while it is still new and shiny.
