TO30 is home!

After a painful hour swinging wheels around, then a terrifying 55 miles home, the tractor is home and in the driveway, where it will get a thorough gone-over. Soon as I got home I drove the tractor the mile to my fathers to pick up the big bucket. Looks much better on there, and even picked up a load of dirt. It did pretty well. Grabbing a bite, then out to flip the wheels around. The fenders don't fit on with them in, and they slightly rub the loader arms.

The bucket leaks down, but the arms don't. Other than that, everything is pretty solid.

Very cool. Nice pictures. I hope you like your TO30 as much as I like mine.

If it changes much, let us see more pictures after you've gone over it well.
 
If you want to keep wheels set in and have fenders on tractor you will have to move center disk on the other side of wheel loops. This is how farmers got several row widths when farming row crops. They farmed on 36" and 38" and sometime 40" rows in these parts. Looks good, think you will be happy with it.
 
It was a terrifying ride for that reason. Had to keep it slow and watch it like a hawk.

Flipped the wheels back and started digging. People were right, turning was impossible. So I dug in, reversed to the back yard, dumped, then ran it over. I'll put the grader blade on so I can scrap it as I go. It was a little light in the back end, but not to bad.

What do pilots say? Every landing you walk away from was a good landing?
Yeah just play with it and try some interesting little jobs and it will be learn as you go, a great start!
 
Can you give me dimensions of your front loader bucket? I have the same tractor but no bucket.Thanxs,stefanP
 
The bucket is too big for the loader frame/tractor so don't load it full up,take small bites, add more weight to
the rear and it might steering better and save you some front end spindle/hub work.
Good luck with your new tractor.

Your bucket is enormous ! Standard bucket width for a Ferguson FE35 loader is four feet odd . It is no wonder the tractor felt light in the back . It looks as if you could cut a foot off each side and still have a big bucket for general work .
That is an interesting scaffold / frame structure in your backyard .
