    THANK YOU TBN members

    Back in the summer I got a new Yanmar EX3200. Until a couple days ago, I had only put about 10 hours on her just to learn the ropes. Then the storm came. And came. And came. They were calling for 4-8" when it started. We ended up with 28" more or less. Less being 28 more being 42" drifting. I...

    ex3200 chains

    Anyone have any info on snow chains for an Ex 3200? The manual doesn't say either yes or no. I asked the dealer and he swears I won't need them. He may be right but I don't want to find out in the middle of our driveway, which has about 300' of 10 degree downhill slope. It faces North so not...

    Anyone have any experience or opinions on new McCormick X1.25?

    I just looked at the specs on the smallest McCormick and I think it looks pretty good. I have never owned a tractor so basically no experience. Please feel free to talk me into it or out of it. And why? Thanks in advance.
