Break out the cigars, papa has a brand new baby!!

[jpierce]

Looks like the sono was true.....its a CK30 HST!!! I was a little concerned at first, as it was <font color="green"> green </font> and not doing to well. But fortunately, it matured quickly to a nice orange color so I could bring it home!! Dr Jon Depratt was kind enough to complete the procedure (just wish the darn copay wasn't so much!!)

Will have to baby it for a while, but hopefully I will learn quickly

Anyways, now I can start posting in the operating forum.

Got the FEL, 72" Finish Mower, Land Rake and 60" Box Blade....

Thanks to all for the advice and support and look forward to being a regular here....

I think might name him Jon Gerard KiotiJ in light of all the advice I got...

What do you think??

How about KiotijohnjonGeraRd Pierce? John

Welcome to the pack.
Don't baby him to much you don't want him to grow up like a wussy. You won't regret it I'm sure.

Time to get them tires muddy Jeff. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

You know I had sent the digital camera with Bill (my father), to get some photos when delivering your new baby some photos with its father, but I guess he wasn't paying attention when I gave him insturctions on how to use it... /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif I got no pictures /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Anyways.... Glad to hear I got it named after me! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Take care Jeff and enjoy the tractor.

I didn't even notice that in the photo. Thanks for pointing it out. Is the new ROPS as tall as the old one? The old one sure looked tall... But the new ROPS still doesn't look like it folds in the middle. Is it really improved?
