Thumbs up on the paid for and still in good working order. I'll take a couple of them.
Can't dream of just one tractor. I'll take the 5045E I just bought plus something around 100 HP with a nice cab, then I want a small articulating skidder to work my wood lot with. Something with 13.6x28 tires on all four corners and not so big I'm tempted to go into competition with the real loggers, maybe 75HP but no more. Then there is backhoe and dozer work I'd like to do like building a pond etc.
I had a Caterpillar 349E show up at work the other day to do some ledge cut scaling and to strip then load out a few thousand yards of ledge. Watching that big butted machine ease through heavy work (400HP- 9 ton counterweight) and you realise that anything you might want to do with a 3PH backhoe on your favorite tractor is probably a waste of time and money.

Might do it myself anyway with a rented small excavator just to have it be all my project. It is much more satisfying then hiring it done.

No dreaming about it. My baby bota. The drawings were taken from one of Jake's post in August 2009. He actually put my tractor on canvas with colored pencils and lead. Thanks Jake ! you made my day.

Hi all

I'd like one of the New Holland NH2 hydrogen powered tractors and the onsite photovoltaic powered H2 generator to create the 2 from rain water.
