That is a good looking tractor. I really like the second picture where you can see a hand pointing at the tractor. "Is it a bird, a plane...?"

I remember when my tractor looked like that. That day was at the end of the longest week of my life.... waiting for the delivery. It's never looked the same since. Somehow it just keeps getting really dirty /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif.

I'm sure yours will be dirty like mine in no time. Have fun and be safe.

I took a picture of my hour meter upon delivery.
And pictures of the initial hydo/implement hookups. For just in case.

The picture of the hour meter reading "x01" still makes me smile.

I got about an hour in working with the tractor today working with the BH and FEL. Why didn't any of you guys mention that you needed hand/foot/eye coordination to operate this thing? My Dad always said I had trouble walking and chewing gum at the same time. Why do you think they call me Bonehead? I did fix several large ruts in the gravel driveway. I created some new ones but the old ones look good. I guess just like everything else it is practice, practice, practice.

Here we are in the garage (booted out the 4runner) after the workout. It is due to rain here over the next few days- besides the garage now has that "new tractor smell"! Notice the scratches on the bucket (it left orange streaks on the driveway).

Last picture. Notice the shed portion of the garage on the right. This WAS where the tractor was going to stay. Unfortuantely it is 4 feet too short. DOH!!

Get a running start, you'll open that shed up toot sweet. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Once again, congrats.

Nice looking machine. I'm sure you enjoy ownership and you're right, it does take a little bit of practice ... but not too much or the rest of wouldn't be able to handle it.

I'd like to make an observation about the membership of this board. There aren't many places where someone could post a photo of Paris Hilton cavorting naked on a beach and the attachment would be opened maybe 40 times or the moderators would can it. Post a picture of a new tractor being delivered and you get almost 400 hits.

Are we sick, jaded, tired or what????? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif Or do we just have our priorities right?

Anyway, for my part, at my advanced years, I know what I'd rather be looking at. Bonehead, keep the pictures coming.

The other night a beautiful blonde asks me, " Would you like some super sex."
I told her "I'd take the soup." /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
