Another lackender order placed

[bubenberg]

about getting a backhoe, i would wait until Charlies, Sedgwoods and my visit to Tazwell on the 4th November, we are going to check out quite a few attachments ... and this time not just in the warehouse like my two last times. Charlie has made the same statement also.

When you guys visit Power-Trac, be sure to say hi for all of the rest of us! /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Some notes to pass along from me please:

1. Headlights under the canopy. Run the wires inside the ROPS bar on either side.

2. A rear floodlight would be nice, too.

3. You are already addressing the little red button issue. Ask them to conside a factory option similar to this.

That's all. Everything else is perfect. Thanks! /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

FWIW, here's one of my first PT grapple ideas. In looking around my implement dealers yard I had my eye on some chisel plow shanks for fingers. Another idea replaces the fingers with sections of landscape rake. And then there are those cultivator tines I picked up for a bucket grapple. So many ideas so little time! My darned thinker has gotten way out in front of my doer again.

Won't the mini hoe with two teeth & a thumb handle most of what we're all trying to grapple with?

For the time being yes but as discussed before several of us are looking for more height, more weight and more length of the boom. i hope this boom will accommodate the ditch mower, tree sheer, platform to trim branches and high bushes. if you look at the one picture under:

http://www.valbysales.com/newpage59.htm

you will see a stand which i will attach wheels for the ditch mower attachment (attached to the three point hitch of the tractor) so the power trac only has to provide the transportation, power and control source ... you got the idea on your technical drawing , if you can swivel that thing, we are in business as far as dexterity goes, the clamshell ability is also addressed. my proposal is a minor addition to satisfy my desire of additional length, height and weight.

sometimes you have to segregate the content of the load, so you don't have to segregate it at the dump site as much. for example: your lunch wrappers, starboecks coffee cubs, coca cola cans from your crew, the leaves and the brush, the concrete and the wood leftover from the deck you installed don't normally go on the same pile at home or at the transfer station. to segregate that and load it on a larger truck or dump trailer our suggestion will come in handy ... i think

I guess I'm going to miss you guys by a week or so. I'm flying into Roanoke on Nov. 9th, to visit my family. I hope to make a trip to Tazwell while I'm in Va.; too bad I won't get to meet you there. /w3tcompact/icons/sad.gif

 

[bubenberg]

Too Bad, i think that would have been great to see each other and exchange notes, experiences and just spent a few hours having some fun b.sssing about related and unrelated subjects.

someday we may have a get together a little more organized and everyone can try to get to tazwell at the same time. we will keep you posted of our visit ... i am sure.

Homecoming?

Hey you guys, BMW has a yearly homecoming for Z3 owners. It's a big party at the BMW facility in Spartanburg, SC, and includes things like dinners, drives, driving instruction, some track time, manufacturing facility tours, etc. Perhaps we could encourage Power-trac to consider a "homecoming" event for PT owners, given our fervent pride of ownership? /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Re: Homecoming?

that would be a great idea, do you think we could get something together in one year? maybe to start off with we could do some regional get togethers for the time being. have some knowledgeable reps from pt come to those regional pow wows. these regional meetings could be very useful for finding out how to maintain, enhance and learn about those beasties. no offense TBN but at times a pers. visit is worth a thousand written words ... i better shut up ... before i get myself in trouble here.
