Price Check Price Check mania!

JATO_RaT · May 6, 2002

C'mon you New Holland owners and potential owners, your New Holland site is getting kinda boring with all the price checks. I keep checking to see if there is something interesting going on here, price checks are not one of them. How about " Big Blu split in two", or "Big Blue is Never Thru". Certainly the state of the art erognomic New Holland Boomers have something interesting to offer. We shall wait with baited breath. I don't know what baited breath is, but its got to be better then a price check. Rat....

Rat,

Well, you are in the buying section... Besides blues don't split in two (unless you drop them from a tree /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif).

Well I kind of like it when Spencer tells us how much we should be paying for the tractors. But I did post some action photos a couple of weeks ago of my TC 40D removing a big stump.

It may not be that exciting compared to operating an L48, but I had fun.

Yes, I am in the pricing /buying section, true enough

And have you ever seen a New Holland hiding in a tree?

You answer "NO"

See how well they hide!!!

Now thats what I'm talking about. Great sequence of pictures Brad. I guess since we are in the buying/pricing section we could work it in like "removed stumps and saved a ton of dough as well as my back". No problems not having any rear ballast like a box scraper? On my tractor, even with a 1200lb box scraper I can get the filled rear wheels off the ground although its rare. Rat...

Yeah, for all of those potential buyers that is what I call Return On Investment (ROI).

About the ballast, I did have my rotary cutter on when digging it up, using my loader w/ toothbar. But when I chained the stump into the loader, the CG was too far forward and I couldn't pick it up enough. So I took my rotary cutter off the back and hooked up a chain to pull it with. That worked well, except it cut a 6" deep gash in my yard for about 50 yards before I realized it. So I was on my way to get the chainsaw and start whittling the stump down when I thought of trying my forks. I didn't think they would work either so I didn't bother hooking the rotary cutter back up. But I could get the stump closer to the tractor and the loader lifted it right up. I just had to drive extremely slow to keep the rear wheels down.

By the way, Brad. You also do a pretty good job handling the camera. Nice to see you sharing your blue rig.

(looks like you are putting together a beautiful place...)

My thoughts, exactly, on the ballast free pics. Yikes! that looks like it would flip you....

<font color=black> Yes, Brad you did an excellent job on the two pictures you took.

Who was behind the camera on the other nine? Just wanting to give credit where credit is due ! /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

HeeHee. /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif That would be my wife behind the camera on the other ones. That was why I hadn't responded to his post. I wasn't ready to give up the compliment.
