- 273 TYM. 2009 //Yardmachines 7 Speed Shift-on-the-goScotts L2048
Hi all, I've been lurking here for months. Absorbing ideas, thoughts, opinions, etc., etc. I've tried my best to deciper and decide on what would be the best brand [for the buck] to suit my 2.5 acres and my future mobility needs, [I plan to "eventually" get to the point where I can offer my services as an area brush cutter - to keep within county or owner fire needs, or even a horse arena fence installer, etc., etc.] - As a third career perhaps. Finally decided on the TYM273 and managed to score a 2009 model with the LT200 loader, Woods GB48 Box scraper, Woods RBC60 Rear angle blade, Woods BB60C Rotary Cutter (mower) [I was looking for a finish mower but this was all the dealer had, I just hope hope it'll suit my needs for grass cutting at my place], Woods PHD35 Digger with an 9" auger, and a used Woods 3PH disk - just because it was available and the price was right! I haven't yet recieved the PH digger or the Disk but they will be at my place within the next week. My dealer is located in Warner Springs - @ Rancho Sales & Service and is one "Great" Guy!! I am just sooo.. Jazzed I don't really know what else to say, except that I had the wife take numerous pictures and as soon as I figure out how to download/upload - they'll be posted!! While I was a lurker, I recieved so very much valuable information that I cannot thank everyone here strongly enough. I come from a 280 acre Minnesota dairy farm and was/am experienced with operating machinery from a very early age. But, Dad was the buyer and I never had any inkling of the actual cost of owning all the various equipment that we kids operated on a daily basis!! To say the least, I was extremely shocked to learn the current prices of what I consider as baby tractors. No offense to anyone - I am currently enjoying the "dickens" out of my newly purchased baby tractor. I was just citing the reality of times & locations and how they are a-changing. I spent just under 20,000 for the above listed equipment and am pleased as punch to now own hydraulic impliments which will save my back a-plenty when the wife suggests why don't we have this planted here or there? I don't often have much/anything to say. I usually just read, observe, absorb, & learn -- but today I am ONE satisified and happy owner so I chatted a fair bit. For my long windedness, I appoligize. To all of my fellow/sister TYM owners out there -- I say hello and I am darn glad to become one of your group!!
