Okay, now we just need your street address. Oh, that and your home phone number and we'll have everything we need.

Party at my house after I get the tractor!

While we're at it might as well get his SS and CC numbers :thumbsup:

Actually, the OP is right to be cautious. I remember one thread members were able to find the guys address (and hence a lot of other info) just from some pictures he had posted. It was harmless, but there are bad people out there. One has to think about how much someone could get from taking a look at our posts and pictures. I for one try to be pretty careful.

oops, just noticed that one is a shuttle, not HST

Can you guys check the listing again? Reading down in the description, it says this:

Gear: 16F x 16R w/ 4 synchronized gears, 4 constant mesh ranges and synchronized dash-mounted shuttle
HST: 3-range dual-pedal (Fwd / Rev) hydrostatic, cruise control

Can you tell from the pics if it's an HST or is it mis-labeled? I'll call the dealer tomorrow to confirm.

I'm pretty sure it is mislabeled and is a gear tractor. Better double check that though.

Yeah, there's a shuttle-shift lever on the left side of the steering column... definitely a shuttle.

And isn't the orange lever beside the loader lever a gear shifter?

That's correct - they have the range selector on the left, and the gear selector on the right.

I just got the green light from my darling wife that I can go buy whatever I want (within reason). Time to go shopping! These two tractors that you guys found for me are at the top of the list right now:

I still need to get some seat time in various tractors to see what I like, but I really want to test drive both of these.
