I'm sure nobody cares but...

Post by mantis »

I got me a tractor. :toothy7:

Just showed up today. Arrived with 0.5 hours on it. I never left the garage, and now it is up to 0.7 hours. :oops:

It's a little one, but should be perfect for my 3.3 acres...

A little blade for the front, a small bucket for the back, and you are SET!

just dont do what I did- Run out of gas, and forget to turn off the key..... my 19 hours now stands at almost 70 hours. aparently it takes about 50 hours for the battery to go dead...... :?

I'm planning on putting a loader bucket on the front (it already has the control valve), and a 12" auger/post hold digger on the back. A 12" auger is perfect for 5 gal nursery pots.

Now I just need a trailer to get it to my property... talk about putting the cart in front of the horse. :lol:

Nice turning radius on that machine. It will come in handy at the farm with all the trees.

Yeah, they have box blades for it. It pretty much can do everything that the B series can do, but it is just more maneuverable for mowing around all the trees on my new property. I think my first purchase will be a 12" auger/post hole digger. :)

OK, now we know who got the new tractor! Of course you sat under the oak and drank beer. Not sure who came out ahead on that deal. :)
