First post,New tractor, and First project

[Harvster]

First, A sincere thanks to those that helped resolve my registration issues for this site.

Now for the meat and potatoes:

Just purchased a B7610 with the LA352 loader and backhoe, r4tires, 50hr service for $20,100. (tractor and loader was 14,200).

Here is a picture of my first project. Never doubt the potential of these tractors.

Nice swimming pool you are building there...

Now that's funny. What a drive to get to the top.

That's hilarious - where it is really?

 

[dillo99]

I would think they would neeed a gas depot half way down that hole - so you can re-fill the tank on your way up/down!

Gosh, Harvster, you hooked one big fish (me)

Butte, Montana maybe?

Butte, Montana maybe?

Nope, not the Berkley pit in Butte. I believe that one is now flooded. I was born in MT and went there as a kid. It was a very impressive hole in the Earth.

The picture is actually the Finsch diamond mine in South Africa.

Harvster -

That pic caught me completely off-guard! What a hoot! You have made not only an excellent choice of CUT (OK - I'm biased!) - but you apparently have the required sense of humor common to tractor owners needed to laugh at oneself when you invariably dig yourself - and hopefully while on your CUT - into a rather deep hole someday (pun both- and un-intended...)

Enjoy your B7610 and welcome to TBN!

Dan
