Andy Congrats on the B2150 it is a nice machine. Have fun you waited a long time for it!

Andy,

Congratulations, finally! I knew your patience would pay off. It sounds like the perfect tractor for your needs and the backhoe may help you flatten some of the hills at your place./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif Take it slow as you are learning the limits of the tractor with your terrain. I found that loading the rear tires added a great deal of stability to my B21 so you may want to consider that. A tooth bar for the loader not only made the loader a more effective tool for digging, it also helped stabilize the tractor while doing backhoe work.

We will be up your way during the second week in May. Maybe by that time you will have gotten off the tractor and back to work while we are in Inverness./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Well done Andy. You seem to have done as much as you could have and the dealer sounds to be honest, so lets hope all works out for the best. Enjoy.

I have been compiling a list of all the jobs that I can do when it arrives, keeps getting longer which is fine by me. One job on the list is to bury the 'phone line so that I can't set fire to it again /w3tcompact/icons/blush.gif.

John:

Thanks for the link. It makes some interesting reading, I think I will have to print out those pages and put them in the binder with Muhammads book for easy reference.

Thomas:

I was thinking that I should have a new sig, I will have to have a look and see what I can find. There again I may just keep the little guy as a reminder of what it was like 'before tractor' /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif.

Mark:

Tooth bars just don't seem to be available over here. I have asked before at the dealers but I just get blank looks. There is someone over here who manufactures complete buckets with 'digger teeth', but I don't think they do the bars on their own. I have mailed Steve Carver who is happy to ship one to me but I think that the shipping charge may be high as I am sure these items aren't lightweight. I may have to design one myself and get it made locally.

May 6th is a bank (public) holiday over here so no work /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif. I hope the weather will be like it has been for the last three weeks when you visit, plenty of sun but not too warm. Hope you all have a great time!

You realise that I will bore you all with pictures when it arrives. Thanks again to all for your comments and encouragement.

Regards
