MY 2710 has arrived

[P12JW]

Today was delivery day!!! "Paul B" has arrived, (named after my late Dad). Put a couple of hours on him today, in between doing a few things for the wife. The Woods 7500 hoe works fantastic. Dug a hole big enough to bury the tractor in without a strain. Tried running it at around 15-1700 RPMs, which seemed plenty. Runs off tractor hydro. The bucket hook some of you suggested comes in handy. Had to carry my 7' rear blade down back, used chain,worked great. Heavy tractor with the hoe, and filled tires, (calcium). My ag tires did a number on the wet ground. Good thing I'm not **** about my turf. I'll have to keep it out of the front yard though, at least till its dry again. Rogue, I thought of you today when the delivery man proceeded to gouge the side of my hoe with a chain he tried to off load my rear blade with. He laughingly said afterwards, "thought I'd try using the backhoe for a change to unload with". The chain slipped and ripped down the side of the hoe. I didn't notice the gouges till he left. I'm sure they'll give me some free touch up, (??). I didn't even get a damn hat...said he didn't think they had any. They did give me a few shirts though when I made the deal..now to find a spot for my chaulkey cup..see ya, Thanks all for helping guide me with your knowledge
