One of those "character building" exercises we all run into now and then eh!:banghead::hissyfit:
Tomorrow you look back and say - aw, it wasn't too bad really.

Hello Jim,
It certainly has built up my tolerance a bit for "BULL (MANURE)"
and what comes with the sales pitch.
I still have to go out and put it all back together and I have to bring out the
salamander to keep warm while I work on the driveway.
I will probably save the changing the drive belt for the summer if it lasts me until
then as the garage is not heated either.
If I had the old IHC Cub Cadet hydro we had in 1968 or a post 1985 MF135 gear drive row crop mule
with flat fenders and fender lights we would not be doing much fretting or discussing the ills of modern
tractoring.
I just got off the build your own Kubota the smallest mules with a loader cost more than the
base 1023E with the loader. Its all in the sales pitch.
I guess I will have to wait to see if I can buy one as excess inventory and make phone calls to
get the best price from a Deere dealer.
I would imagine they all pay the same price from Moline, and the only real difference is freight costs
and total tonnage on the flat bed trailer when it leaves Moline.
