Welcome! Grew up in LaBelle and Immokalee during my childhood. Sure miss living in Florida. Uncle Sam still dictates where I live for the next 5 years. Lots of good info around here.

Thanks, I've been in Fl all my life. Lived in Eau Gallie, West Palm Beach, Orlando, & now Levy County near Williston. Hopefully this is my last move, I love the area. Indeed there is a lot of good info here, that's why I'm here, to learn & share.

I know exactly where you're located! My grandpa's ranch is in Sunniland off Oil Well road and 29! I love it down there! Peace and quiet! Civilization is slowing creeping that way though.

Thanks Aaron. I looked at your quote, think I got em all covered except going out in a blaze.--- I see you have some Kubotas. I had an L2650 & then a L2950 back in the early 90's. I had them set up just for box blading with a top & tilt. Took off the loaders, watered up the rears, & did several thousand hours of box blading over the years. Had the shuttle shifts & never had a real problem out of these. I had Bobcat skid-steers & my smaller ones had 4 cyl Kub engines. I used the Kub tractors for grading soft/sandy/sloped areas I couldn't get in a timely manner with my Bobcats. Lotta guys went to track machines but the operating costs were about $10 an hour higher than my rubber tire units way back then. The Kubota powered cats never gave me any trouble either. I had a small biz for 2 decades moving dirt around & graded well over 4,000 homes (with a few employees) and tons of other stuff till 2008 took me out. Miss those days!! I'll eventually turn my little LS into the swiss army knife of compacts. Hopefully it's up for the many tasks I've got to do. I see your in NY, brrrrrr. We had a 68 deg high today & sunny skies, gonna hit 73 tomorrow.
