another newbie has joined TBN.......

Yeah I am a newbie, but do have some past years working on a large potato farm. My bet is on the ck20 gear, but I'll try the hydro just to clear my mind. My first purchase shall be within a year, or less depending on her. It may sound silly, but
I just may need to put duals on the front and rear. Flotation and traction is everything, and it looks cool too. Not to worry now, it may void the warranty, but I don't abuse equipment.
Besides I am willing to bet that before I make my purchase, someone else out there will beat me to the dual thingie too. Boys and their toys huh.....

Welcome to TBN Medic. I'm never going to understand why you new guys just don't fill out your profiles so we know the area in which you live, what kind of property etc. It's so helpful at those times you need to ask a question or two! Besides, it's nice to know where people live and how they live and work their tractors.
I've got to see how you do that dually thing on a CK20. I guess you'd have to modify the fenders a bit to do that, but it would look too cool.
Again, welcome, and please, tell us something about yourself. Go to my home, and click the link to your profile. Thanks, John

mounting the duals isn't all that big of deal, the problem is will the cost justify the needs.....

oh I did find the profile page...sorry bout that.

( oh I did find the profile page...sorry bout that. )
Not a problem, soon to be EX medic! I know that's a hectic job, I'm a RN. It's all hectic, but PM is really trying at times!
I'm sure it would cost a good deal to convert the CK20. A good bit of work too. But as you said, they are cool to look at. There's an older large Deere down the street for sale with BIG ole dualies on the back and I love to stare at it as I drive by every day.
I wish you the best of luck with your marriage and home plans. Hope you find TBN to be as much fun and knowledge as I have. John

( I'm never going to understand why you new guys just don't fill out your profiles )

perhaps the mods could make a few more of the registration form fields as "required" ???

ok ok......it's filled out now, or at least I think it is. Sorry for being a new guy, but that area of profile isn't the best. Lets try
to start out again without upsetting anyone.

No one is really upset! Don't even think it. Thanks for putting in your information. You did just fine. It's a lot better when we know a little more about what you're dealing with, and where. Also, there are probably some members near you that could eventually help you out better than the rest of us, since they know the area.
They typed word comes out a lot differently than the spoken word, but believe me, my post was not really as critical as it sounded. Welcome again, and stick around. John
