Another Dam Yankee from Maine

[Katahdin]

Howdy. (my last name is Doody)

I'm a new tractor shopper from southern Maine. I hope to purchase something in the 40hp range in the next 30 days or so if I can just make up my darn mind what to buy.

I plan to put the tractor to work on the old family farm of 60 acres, the immediate implements I need are a loader and a box scraper for the 600ft of driveway. A PTO tiller is on the list for next year. For snow removal I plan to fabricate a mount for my 7.6' Boss plow so I can retire my 93' Plow truck.

I work in IT (Linux/UNIX systems), my hobby projects include fixing up a 66' 2.5 ton Army truck and soon my wife's 67 MGB. I'm a novice welder and grinder, have a Miller 211 Mig welder and a 80 gallon Craftsman air compressor. I do like to get out to the gun range now and then to shoot U.S. surplus rifles.

Thats the skinny on me, I hope to learn a lot about tractors and implements from this site!

Welcome to TBN.

Welcome, you are right down the street from me. Consider a Mahindra. They give a lot of value for the price and are a quality machine like JD and Kubota and others. Tripp's in New Gloucester did great by me when I bought mine in March.

Welcome to TBN and for the record you are just a Yankee, A Dam Yankee is one that moves south and stays there

Welcome to TBN from Missouri. It sounds like you will ft right in; lots of shooters, fabricators etc. on the forms. Don't worry about the Yankee thing, we even have CANADIANS on here.:laughing:

Where I live, northerners call us southerners and southerners call us northerners; gets confusing.
