The thumb is Wallenstein I believe, I got three quotes for the tractor (all within a few hundred dollars) then went to the guy with the highest price, told him he had the highest price and suggested that a thumb might fix the deal. So in the end he was the lowest price, and the only dealer that would do a thumb at all.
Nice Waterfront. We just bought a piece of waterfront in B.C.
which forced the purchase of a GC2610 TLB. I think you did the right thing
by getting your own tractor. At the end of a major project you would have
shelled out thousands to get someone in with a machine to do the work.
I like the Coozy for the beer. It probably keeps it from getting foamy...
