Thanks! I worked in Pittsfield for over 5 years! I have plenty of gifts from the bloodmobile.

Congratulations and welcome to the group from a native of your region. Born and raised in the Capital District of NYS. If I may ask, are those hillsides in Catskills, Helderburghs, or Adirondacks?

You will meet lots of cool folks here!

Thanks Frank! I have been in the region since the mid 90's. Originally from downstate. Pictures are from the town of colonie actually. I have a little corner with some woods. Hope to acquire some property in the Adirondacks. I love spending time up there. My wife is from the Catskills area.

The part of downstate where the people who live there call it upstate?
Welcome!

Welcome to TBN. I have the same setup and love mine.
Do you know the services done on the 1720? Might be worth getting fluids and filters changed if not done recently.
When you pull out of the mud, use the draw bar under the 3pt if you can so you don't strain the BH cylinders too much.
If you have any questions on the TLB , ask away. I found the people on TBN really helpful when I first got mine.

Thank you! I was told the oil was changed. I plan on doing full service on it. I am trying to order all the filters. I didn't have a winch and couldn't get my truck close enough so I had to use the backhoe. Thanks for the pointer on the drawbar. I will keep that in mind for the next time I need to pull it out.

I grew up next door in Guilderland, went to school at RPI in Troy and used to work in Rensselaer and Schenectady. Small world!

Frank, I am also an alum. RPI class of '00 (IT, not engineering). My brother was '97 (ChemE). Small world indeed!

Class of ‘81 (Chemistry). Worked for 36 years in pharmaceuticals and retired 2 years ago. Good luck with the tractor. I didn’t think that Colonie was zoned for clay soil. All I remember from over there was lots of sand!

Thank you! Hope you are enjoying retirement. Mostly clay and shale where I am. not sure how easy it is to tell but some bare clay is showing on the right. This stuff is so heavy and clings to everything when wet.
