New (to me) JD 110 Coming this Way!

[Martian]

I knew you shoulda let me go get it.

:mur: It probably would've been faster even with the detour through Texas:laughing:

Hey Martian - just saw it going down the interstate here in CT so I think they overshot Michigan by a bit - just hang in there man. :laughing:

:shocked: I think they must be driving the tractor itself here.

I was doing the math, and 1800 miles over 7 days puts him just over 250 miles a day. He must be really familiar with the rest stops!

On a separate note, I went to a different dealer to see if I could find a heavier duty back blade with hydraulic angle, no luck. But I did find my next toy. 285HP, 98,000lb operating weight, and a 28' digging depth. Second picture is me looking up at the climb into the cab. I barely could see over the top of the bucket. I think I'd look rather good at the controls, who knows whats going to get knocked over though

Maybe the driver lost it in a poker game in Vegas

Would that mean we have to start all over again?

Alright, alright, alright. Before you make me hike on over to Montana and kick someone's @$$, I'm going to wait until tomorrow.

*I DIDN'T WANT TO DEPRIVE YOU OF PICTURES, SO SORRY FOR THE SUPER LONG POST*

Well, the beast has finally arrived! Looked pretty good to me. The dealer is going to go through it check the fluids and such to make sure it's all AOK, so it's not home... yet. I did take some of the attachments home, just to get them out of their way.

A couple things I noted.
- It DID have the HD bucket (see pics), but it did not have the cutting edge, so I'll still get one of them.
- No belly pan - whatever you call that thing - it doesn't have it. Still debating on that.
- The mesh on the grill is pushed in a little, but no biggie there.
- It appears to have a nice suspension seat, didn't know that before, and the one I checked out around me did not have the same suspension seat. Also I could flip the seat over much easier on this one, and in my multiple trips back to see the one around me, I no know it was missing that lever.

All else has pretty much been covered.

It does look rather dull in the photos, but that was more my crappy camera. It looked much better in person.

I did bring the box blade home, and what a beast it is, and there was no way my dinky 3120 was going to pick it up. So I had to call the back ups in and take the 5410 on the mile and a half journey down a freezing rain ride.

You made out like a bandit on that deal. I can tell you that the thumb is indispensable!

Good pics!
