Sure is a nice looking machine. And I like the new lights, perhaps it's not just the styling but the fact that put more light. As far as the blackberries, I agree with John above that digging them out works pretty well. Even if you kill them you still have to deal with now dried and harder pickers so doing it just once with the bucket usually works for me.
I'm color blind also but it's nice to have another member of the Blue Team. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Nice looking New Holland you have there Cotton. Looks like your ready for action with that big blue cutter on the back.
Cotton, by now you've had some good seat time. I just wanted to update you on my progress with blackberries since I bought a Woods toothbar. I cleared about 2 acres of saplings and TONS of blackberries this past weekend using the loader/toothbar. Man! what a difference the toothbar made in getting those pesky roots out. They would come back too soon with my previous method of just dragging them out. Hope you're having time to enjoy that great Blue tractor. If I bring my Kioti over, we can look like an ad for the Florida Gators! take care, John

Thank you everybody. This is going to be fun.
First time out, I cut some of the fast growing grass in one of my pastures. I tried to be very careful to not go across the slopes. There are some patches of long grass left untouched. I think that I need to develope a "feeling" on where I can go and where I cannot go with my new "BLUE".
Thanks for the advice on cutting the blackberries. I called my dealer and put the order in for a "tooth bar".
I tried to attach a better pictures of the new "BLUE" to the post but the file is too large (>100000 bytes).

Cotton you may want to consider the purchase of a tilt meter sold at this site. It will help you to determine when a grade actually becomes too step to mow. If you have not yet seen one click on my signature link to see a few pictures of the meter and where I mounted mine. Most guys mount them on top of their hoods.
