Yes, he did let me drive it too /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif. What a beast compared to my TC18. I'm looking forward to helping out on the "farm" this summer.

I suppose you've offered to store it for him when he's not using it.

By the way, What's that white stuff on the ground?

Yes doesn't that white stuff pretty much put a guy into depression. Even though I love plowing snow I just hate the idea of winter.

I don't have any place to put it /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

There was 4" of that white stuff at my house in Mass. Some of it melted yesterday.

As a skier, I have a love/hate relationship with the snow. Love to ski, hate the long commutes home from work when mother nature isn't considerate enough to snow overnight.

Re: We\'re now a 2 tractor (extended) family...

Hazmat, tell your dad he got a very good price, especially for the northeast. For my TC45 with one remote and no quick-attach, setup as you described for your dad's TC45DA, I paid $21,900 in 2001. It sounds to me like your dad found a dealer that needed to move some rolling stock. Also, I'm sure that buying the AnBo grapple, toothbar, and the extra attachments all made a good package deal for the dealer.

About how long before all the attachments get installed? I'm <font color="green"> GREEN </font> with envy over your dad's new <font color="blue"> BLUE </font> Tractor. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Re: We\'re now a 2 tractor (extended) family...

I checked the classified's on TBN and didn't notice your TC18 listed on there for sale. I suppose that means you are going to work with the dealer to trade it in on your new toy because I just figure that you aren't going to let dad out do you in the tractoring. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Given how much bigger his TC40 is than your TC18, I figure if you do him what he did you, you should be shopping for a TN75 about now /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
