My Wicked 60 grapple was delivered this week and I must admit, it was smooth in spite of me making a change. I called Estes trucking and asked if I could pick it up at their terminal instead of waiting for it to deliver to my work address. I had all the info I needed from Cole at EA, and they...

Early spring of 2020 I bought a Yanmar YRC 720 rotary cutter that is basically identical to a BB72. Yanmar used to make BB I was told. I paid $2100 and the “same” BB was $2300. It isn’t the most heavy-duty cutter out there but it’s not the least either. I like it and it’s worked great on my...

I found a 1000# lead block and it fit perfect, plus left room for tools.

I was at my JD dealer this morning. He had a lot more steel on his lot than I’ve seen in a long time! I mentioned it when I chatted with “my” salesman. He laughed and said everything I see outside and everything he has in their huge shops right now is all sold. Except for two 1025’s. When I...

Don’t know yet….but I bought a Great big chinesium wrench that is 1 1/8” on one side and 1 1/2” on the other. Box ends. Exactly what I need for a couple of implements. $7.95 Separate wrenches at TS were $22.95 each! I might go buy another one…..and I haven’t used the first!😂

“Find someone who cares a little about my business” whether it’s web, phone, or in person, that’s what matters to me too!

When I started shopping for my tractor I admit I was thinking green or orange……in that order. I was paying cash. Since I already knew something about the green one (4066r brother has it), I went to the Orange dealer first to look real close at the Grand L. There wasn’t a single customer in...

When I bought my first tractor, one thing that I didn’t consider carefully enough was the cost of implements. My wife certainly thought we’d buy the tractor and be mostly done with spending money. 😂😂 ballast box, mower(s), snowblower, forks, grapple, spreader, food plot planter, and all the...

Travis, I ordered a grapple in mid November. My confirmation notes appx 5 months lead time (mid April). Based on what you know now, do you think that is still accurate? Will production from your new factory start in time to affect spring delivery lead times positively?

It may have been more than than $1k. It was just before Covid started so times were a little different maybe? My salesman didn’t really seem to care one way or another if I bought cash or did the finance deal, but he did “throw in” the beet juice too. I do believe in borrowing money...

In my case, I think a cash deal helped. About $1000 discount versus taking 0% financing.

My tractor picking method was thinking about it off and on for about a year to wrap my head around the $. I hadn’t even gone to a dealer yet. One day my brother called and told me to come over and look at his new toy. A sparkly JD4066R! I then made the mistake of taking it for a little spin...

No matter what the question, I think that F250 Tremor is the answer to it 😂😂. I WILL have one.

I paid $1900 for a Yanmar 72” rotary cutter last spring (YRC720 I think is the model #). It’s almost exactly the same as the BB 72” cutter…..except black. Nice mower and about $500 less than the orange one. Plus I like the way black and green look together😉.

I have one. Added the 5’ hose extension….which is real nice….and a cheap HF 2 wheeled dolly. Most of the time it sits in my garage and I use it to put gas in (and pull out) of ATV’s, snowmobiles, boats, mowers, and sometimes vehicles. When I go off grid fishing in Canada, we use it to fill...
