I told my 88-year-old mum that we're going to chase out in the morning and check this thing out. In consideration of the suggested retail price, the price they're asking used is what I expect I'd pay for a new one, and so I told my mother that we either get a deal, or we walk off that much smarter and we get lunch at one of our favorite small-town places on the way back and I run the dogs at a park.

OK now I know it is the tractor powered axles, related to the strength of the Box Scraper.

I've learned that the distinction Gannon makes between 4x2 and 4x4 models may be important. Anyway, in Gannon's line up, the best price I've gotten is $3200 for an 80HB, which is the high back floating tailgate version, which is the direction I'm leaning as I think it'll work with my SpeeCo Cat 2 standard Quick Hitch.

It's hydraulic in that I use the three point to pick it up LOL, first build:

After I added the blade, it flips down in front of the teeth to level it out. The teeth are removeable should it get into something real knarley. I tow it with my 204 Jinma;

Necessity is the mother of invention. Thanks for sharing!

Sadly Suzettes :drool: is closed on Mondays, so we'll have to hit The Station in Jordan or try something new.

Tomorrow is a holiday, but I would think the dealer will be open.

. . . One thing that hasn't been made clear to me is if either the Commond or Gannon tailgates can be locked down. . . .

You may have figured this out by now, but my old Gannon tailgate can be (and usually is) locked down with a pin on each side.

I know that Ted from ETA designed his differently because he was concerned about hitting something and bowing the tailgate in the middle. On my tractor (and probably yours too), I think something else would break before that massive tailgate would bend.

The Station has the best double bacon burger in southern Minnesota.

And the market is closed so I don't need to mind the store.

Even so, I'll call ahead.
