I bought my first tractor!

Cool! Thanks Dmace, Now how do I shrink it down so it's not stupid sized?

Other than attaching a smaller image, I really don't know. That's why I use Photobucket
and upload my pictures there. That way I can automatically make a thumbnail with link to full size image, like this:

That's a HOT deal... you didn't have a gun with you when you asked about the price .... a great Steal

Did the mower come with the tractor??

Hey backyard,
We have to ask - how did You locate that deal ?
word of mouth, advertised (where)?, friend ?

Let us know

Nick

I found out about the deal by word of mouth via family. I live about an hour north of detroit and the tractor was down in dayton ohio so we had a 4 hour trip to go get it. The mower did come with it. I got it for $5500 because thats what the local kubota dealer offered the previous owner for it. I've seen what people on tractor house are asking for the same tractor with much higher hours and there is no doubt in my mind that the local dealer was going to try and double their money, or atlest get close to doing so. I'd keep the tractor for use around my house (6.6 acres with a horse) but I build motocross tracks and I'd like a larger hydro tractor for that. We've got skid loaders for heavy work and rent dozers for even bigger work but I'd like a tractor that has a lot of fel potential as well as more pto hp for running other equipment needed for track maint. It's much faster/ easier using a hydro drive tractor vs the gear models when your working on tall and steep jumps.
Here some pics of the type of work I do. I'm going to put this tractor up for sale and use it around the house until it sells.

Those floors are the work of my brother. Every year he does a crazy floor for an annual "floor of the year" contest put on by the national wood flooring association. The brick paver floor was this years entry.
