Chuck,
You've probably got this covered, but I don't recall seeing it in the thread. Don't forget to have them weld some bucket hooks on the top of the FEL bucket. One at each end and one in the middle will be plenty. I use mine all the time for lifting and moving things about. They might charge you $50 or so per hook, but maybe not with all the money you're spending. Now's the time to doit.

Thanks Bob. I have thought about that a lot. I had originally felt like I was going to get a welder before I got my tractor and then I'd just do it myself. I have been reading some books and watching instructional videos on MIG wire-feed welding. But I don't think I'm going to be getting into welding as a hobby immediately now. I think I will ask my dealer about welding some bucket hooks on. Thanks for the reminder.

If you wake up tomorrow thinking one of those AEBI Terratrac rigs makes more sense, then fine.

Actually I was thinking more along the lines of one of these New Holland tractors.

Gary, I agree, buy the thing .

This is what I've been looking at, but the wife says NO WAY,YOU ARE NOT GETTING THAT TRACTOR. Oh well, we can dream can't we? I don't dare look at new ones, then I could really get in trouble.( financing & all )

Now that's what I'm talkin' 'bout!! Talk about a horsepower junkie's dream tractor!! I'll bet that'll Git 'r Done!!

 

[Glowplug]

How about this one? I may try to argue the benefits of traction in the snow to the wife. What d'ya think? Will it work?

 

[MtnViewRanch]

Yanno, when you've been stuck at home for awhile because of the snow, it might make a good argument. Dear, If we had one of those tractors that you wouldn't let me have, we would have been able to go anywhere and not worry about the snow. Timing is everything.

I'm going to the Worlds Largest Ag Show in Tulare Calif. next month, do ya suppose that they might have some of those there? Test drive maybe?

I had been thinking that if I could have gotten that Ford, that I would be able to go out and disk our property in an afternoon, instead of 4 days, oh well, maybe something a little smaller, 140 HP?

Hey, maybe some pics next week? Pleeeease.

Hmmm, I'll see what I can do.

Give the poor guy a break. He has a few hours left. It's only been 20hrs. I know he'll come through in the fourth quarter.

Go Patriots.
