Thanks folks. I don't have much free time and of what I have I was just sick and tired of doings starters, water pumps and a bunch of other stuff with the older machine(s). This tractor was almost $10K than what it was back in September when I was only dreaming of it. Im a bit sad Cabela's dumped the line... I hear rumors that the company may align themselves with another manufacturer. I don't know why, just what I heard.. Are there any good threads on here for plumbing the hydraulics to the front for the root grapple I want.... er, NEED? Thanks.
