Hello from Alaska

[450]

Hello everyone,

I am new here and hoping to learn a lot from all you tractor lovers. Thanks

Welcome aboard! We can sure help you buy a tractor!

Fairbanks? You'll need a cab and lots of lights.

Previously a Valley boy and Juneau guy here, plan go back home after the Army is done.

:welcome:
To the TBN forum 450. Glad that you joined with us here. What will you be using your tractor for, snow removal?

I was stationed at Elmedorf AFB and lived in Eagle River from 84 - 88.

Hi! Welcome to the forum

 

[450]

Thanks everyone and the tractor will be used for snow plowing and small dirt work mostly. No cab to begin with but definitely lots of light to see during the winter. Also I use to be a army boy.

Thanks for your service. Are you from Alaska originally or were you stationed up there and de decided to stay?

 

[450]

mddorange,

Same to you and I was stationed here twice then we decided to just live here.

mddorange,

I completely understand since the kids and I wanted to stay but the wife said she was going back home (AL) and we could either go with her or stay. Sometimes I think we made the wrong decision...

 

[450]

LMAO!!!!! I understand, me and my wife are both from MS.

 

[mddorange]

Where at in MS? My youngest daughter in a RN at the hospital in Tupelo and our place is 9 miles the from the MS boarder.

Welcome to TBN and the forum. Spent 22 years in Alaska - mainly in the Anchorage area but also one year in Glennallen. In Anchorage, its not so much the cold as the looong, dark winters.

Never been there, but what about long bright summers? Are they still cold?
Anyway I love Alaska's nature.

Even in the summer - longest day of the year - Anchorage will see sunset/sunrise. The time in between sunset/sunrise will be a twilight time. By the time you get to Fairbanks - some 250 miles further north - you will be in the Land of the Midnight Sun. The summer temps will run 55F to 75F in Anchorage. Being its interior, Fairbanks can get considerably warmer in the summer........and we all know about winter in Fairbanks!!

Man - I miss the times in Alaska - they were some of the best experiences I will ever have.
