On the Road to Being Happily Poor

Haoleguy · May 29, 2005

Well.....the JD 5325 I ordered actually came in 2 weeks early. Now we are waiting on the backhoe which is due in 1 weeks time and then I will take delivery. The dealer is delighted to have a 5025 series on his lot for others to view. I'm looking forward to the clearing project that I have in front of me this summer. Many thanks to TBNers for direct and indirect information on tractors and projects........Cheers.

Yes, take some pics of your tractor and your clearing project before and after.

ArkCivEng & Kyle - Pics to follow in about 1-2 weeks time. Based on previous threads I'm thinking I will need a toothbar for the clearing project. Any thoughts?......Cheers

Oh, about being happily poor.

You can now have so much fun for about $2-$4 worth of diesel per hour. That's cheap fun in my book. Heck, I used to spend $100 in a few hours at the bar.

That was then, this is mow. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
