New Member and New Tractor Owner

I think that's a part of "Growing Wiser" as we get older. Seems I relied on brute force when younger.....now, with Atrthur-itis setting in all over...I have to work smarter. Also, time seems to be at a premium......so efficiency is greatly appreciated these days.

Welcome! To fellow South Dakotan. I grew up about 200 miles west of where you are at.

Congrats on the moves! A lot of changes. That tractor should work out very well for you - it will be a fun toy!

Well.......from all the wonderful wealth of information here.....we've decided to "Up" our choice of tractors. We are going to go with the XR4140HC, just changed the order this afternoon. I decided the beefier front axle and dual steering rams would probably be in our best interest. Evidently we don't have a snow removal service for our private road. The current owners of our house have taken that upon themselves. So......if I need to make sure we have a clear path from our house......it's going to be a much greater task than simply taking care of our two driveways. I know more HP would probably be better....but I have to keep the spending in check :laughing:
