We liked it so well we just traded up for the 080-5!

Thank you

It is under the seat back right corner looking towards the rear of the machine. Another screen up front under the seat and below the steering lever column

Thank you@@rollingoakfarms9132

I'll look tomorrow I cannot remember off the top of my head.

Welcome to the mountains of Tennessee!

Simple like a fox! Spend a little time in the South, and you'll quickly learn that having an accent or speaking more slowly than a New Yorker doesn't indicate that a man is simple or stupid. Usually exactly the opposite.

The stability is fantastic will have a 500 hr review soon!

Of course larger machine 13k lbs

On your blade control you push it all the way forward to the detent lock in. Once it's shoved forward it's a combination of the blades weight plus hydraulic resistance. I use the hound out of mine

@@rollingoakfarms9132 wow thanks I just tried it and it’s awesome, can’t believe I’ve owned it 3 years and never knew that’s how easy it is to use, works great man thanks again

Well we have quite a bit of land to clear up that the tractor can't handle. Now I can dig my own infrastructure and stump land. Also we do take it out on jobs/ help neighbors. And worst case scenario if we lose an animal I can bury it. I have found it is nice to have and we use it just as much as the tractor if not more.

So far, a year in we have really enjoyed the equipment. The paint and hoses have ended up being pretty robust, being we are not the easiest on equipment. the hydraulic thumb hoses have been very impressive so far. I haven't even noticed any paint fade yet.

Oh heck I'm going to have to look at that for sure. Thanks for the tip.

Hmmm that seems odd all of ours has been pretty robust. No problems so far but I'll keep an eye on it.

We took the keepers off our 9540 the day we got it in 2012 and they haven’t given any trouble to this day.

Do you want to see the machine in action or an after video? I just finished a large fanned bank down my farm Rd came out very well. We have had several inches of rain the last few days so it will be a day or 2 before I can do a video of it in action.

@@rollingoakfarms9132 well I'm new to the game. My son who's been excavating for 15 years told me to get a kx-040-4 with a six in 1 blade for doing driveways and roads. But I want a little bigger machine. So I really want to see how hard it is to grade a road with only an angle blade and still manage to get a crown in the road.

I'll get you a video out just as soon as the ground is dry enough to work up. I've had good look with my machine. Doing driveways and land clearing I definitely wouldn't go smaller that the 057 but that's just me. I'm ready for the 080-5 to come out.

@@rollingoakfarms9132 let me buy your 57. Haha

@@rollingoakfarms9132 and Thank you for your videos and quick replies. I'll look forward to any help or vidz you can send. Thx again. Eric

It has been great we have enjoyed it this far. Been real nice haying with it.

She is baled and in the barn lol

I know a guy that could take care of that for you.

@@rollingoakfarms9132 Oh they are mowing the front and side already :)

Not if I can help it I caught them and have them in their new home

Trailer has upgraded tires axles and hitch. If I'm not mistaken it's a 21k derated to 16k.

Good looking trailer and machine. Did you buy the trailer like that? Or change it up after you bought it? I would really like to know what brand it is if you bought it like that. Looking to have a similar setup as you, but want to stay out of cdl requirements.

Main reason I dig over the blade is it's cheaper to replace idlers than drives, but for sure I'm not doing it all the time many times I'm trying to get right under myself trenching. Stumping blades out front for sure.

Me too! How much did they say it was going to be?

Anytime thank you for watching.

Yes it does come with a two speed intermittent wiper now. The slow speed is decent for those mist rains that's just enough to piss you off, then the faster speed of course will handle most of a monsoon. I would like it more though if it was set up with a potentiometer on the joystick. The m5. Tractor has the same intermittent wiper on it as well. I do wish they would relocate the air filter intake however. Being behind your left foot is a horrible location and the inevitable reduced filter flow makes the defrost suck. Mine so far has turned into a weekly cleaning just because I'll open the door while the air or heat is on and catch weed seed, or dust bunnies for the few seconds the door is open not to mention the dirt dust.
