It fits in a prewired factory spot:

Step son Damien is healing well from his burns. His next laser treatment to remove scare tissue is Monday (#4). The beginning of his ex boss criminal trial starts 16 Jun. Damien is still having some mental issues from the explosion.

The skies looked angry, but after a couple weeks my flower beds are looking better. I have been shaping trees, pruning bushes, cutting in beds, and burning/pulling weeds.

And you may have noticed I went with a slightly smaller framed tractor this time. I find myself working in close quarters to buildings and wood piles and dirt mounds often enough. The larger tractors, although very capable, lack the maneuverability I want,
That and this newest generation of tractors is offering loaders of much greater capacity. My old Kubota MX6000 60HP utility tractor could lift 1,700 lbs. This new Kioti, 60-horsepower unit can lift a jaw-dropping 2650 pounds! That's right at a half ton more!
This smaller-framed tractor has category 2 hitch parts with extendable lower links and a cool lever on the backside that allows one to operate the 3-point from the back of the tractor! How cool is that?

I do not like ag tires if the tractor will ever be used near a nice lawn, and for years have used the R4 industrial tires. The newest tire out there is called an R14 and is a combo tire that is not as aggressive as an ag but not as slippery as an industrial:

And the new Kioti is nestled in the driveway where it will work for a couple weeks before going down farmside for some bush hog work.

And it was delivered!
I had the rear tires filled, a front aux hydraulics supply for a grapple installed, and the thing prepped for use.
It looks and sounds good. Here is the Kubota leaving it's old home at the farm:

Yesterday I was into pretty deep mud and spinning 5-6 tires near my farm. After all the rains, the road to my place is just about impassible. I went to fetch my dump trailer so I could haul in some stones to get a few more beds done during my spring cleanup. I am trying to transform the plant beds from mulch to stone over a several-year transformation. I am in the middle of that right now.
Afterward, I had the blue beacon wash it thoroughly. $56 later it was looking pretty good!

Wife's happy, everyone within shouting distance is too! ;-)
