I know he has at least 10 stories about buying tractors...so far...

I'm thinking he deserves a B2320 for winning this prestigious award...:thumbsup:

First tractor: BX2200 FEL MMM. If you have hillside property and you have a big pile of trees and brush it's possible to push on the brush pile from the top side to compact the pile and get up on the brush pile. If you have a MMM it's possible to get so hung up with the MMM up on top of the brush pile that you can't get the BX2200 out with the FEL. If you do this, I hope your lucky enough to have someone coming with a bulldozer to pull it out for you.:ashamed:
2nd Tractor B7800 FEL. If your coming down a fairly steep hill on a B7800 on wet grass I hope you have God on your side guiding your tractor down the hill because you won't be able to guide the slide,:ashamed:
Third story and not sure which tractor. If you take the mowing deck off and reinstall it make sure the drive shaft CLICKS into place when you hook it up. If you don't the drive shaft can fly around under your tractor and bust a hole in the oil filter and leave tthe precious life blood of your tractor on your yard.:confused2:
That's three and Thanks.
