You do realize that now that it's painted New Holland Blue you'll be wanting to keep it in the garage with the tractor too.
Looks like the pole barn project is next in line...... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Nice looking paint job!

Thank you Mike its my first tractor and I and my wife are very proud New Holland Owners. I have a pole barn that works well it holds my Polaris Ranger 6x6 and our new tractor. its still not finished but keeps the weather off.
Mike if I am not mistaken your are the one who builds alot of your own inplaments. Iam very inpressed and hope to follow in your foot steps and start building my own. first on my list Grapple. But i really need a set of forks more than likely going to have to buy them I cant seem to find anyone that sells just forks around here. so i can build a set of bolt ons. shipping to Alaska is very high, but the way its looking i am going to have to buy somthing already made and pay pay pay for the shipping.

Grapples are a hoot to put together. If you're a little handy and can weld a bit then you shouldn't have any problem making one for your own bucket.
I almost bought one from ATI and then opted for the do-it-yourself route. I'm very pleased with the results. If I can help you along the way just let me know and I'll assist wherever I can.

Funny,
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Personally, I kind of like the LP color. Sort of desert sand.
Good work on the paint job. It needs a NH or Ford decal though and no one will ever know! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I had a car shipped out of Northern Alaska to Washington State and it was very reasonable. It was put into the rear of a frozen food truck and hauled South. You might want to locate a trucker that is coming North and will carry your goods for you on a as available space situation. I have been told that many times, they don't haul a full load North and can bring other cargo along to fill the space and help to cover the expenses. This alternative method would allow you to purchase in the lower states and then get the lower price also. Just something you might want to look into.
