All I know is, I hope that the folks from EA never get my phone number calling about selling me a grapple....cause I would melt like soft butter and my wallet would come flying out. :)

I almost bought w quick hitch today off Harbor Freight with a a coupon I had until I saw the shipping costs.....talked myself down by thinking I'd be by their store in a few weeks the next time I go to the city and could get one then. LOL

You may want to check out the threads here on the HF quick hitch. Although relatively inexpensive, many have found that you are limited as to how many attachments you can use it for without modifications. My personal experience was just that. I get a bunch of stuff from HF and have been very happy with most everything. However, I was lured by the low cost of the hitch and found I was unable to use it on any of my attachments. Most implements have varying pin widths and the HF hitch does not account for that without you having to make modifications. Brought it back the next day.

There are other quick hitches out there that may cost more, but work very well with all implements. I settled on the Pat's Easy Change system and it has made a huge difference in reducing the aggravation factor sometimes associated with implement hook up. Check them out on line for videos on how they work and get feedback from others here. You can buy direct or through the TBN store. If you decide to go that route, they always seem to have a black friday discount..... if you can wait. :licking:

Happy New Year!

Well crap. Tractor was supposed to be delivered late last week. Just called to see what they thought about a delivery date and I was told hopefully by this weekend though possibly early next week.

*(^*&%&^$^%#%$@^%$#!!!!!!!!!!!

The fridged temps are away for a few days this week and I was hoping to get to playing with it some. Of course, back down to negative temps starting this weekend into next week. Son of a rusted-stripped bolt.

Whoohoo! Just got the call that my tractor is being delivered tomorrow afternoon. I'm starting to remember what it was like on Christmas eve as a kid. Just in time for the weekend. If I can keep my fingers working in the cold that it is supposed to be maybe I will get the ROPS lights installed and the buckets hooks. I shall be dreaming of orange things tonight I suspect.
