Jim,
Thanks. We both really liked it and still feel good. She may even put a coat of wax on it. Wait til I put the first scratch on it. I could really catch it then. Anyway here is how we equipped the whole deal and the final price.
Got the 8x2 synchronized transmisson with 4WD. Live PTO with the dual clutch. We both felt better with that set up. Folding ROPS and side exhaust let's us get it into the garage. The loader is the 6 foot MF1050 and the mower is the Woods BB 72. Did not think we needed to go for the shuttle on the transmission even with the loader. Total price for every thing was $25,000 including tax and that also includes tires loaded with the Calcium Chloride mix and a tank of fuel. I think we did okay. I was able to calculate the gross price based on information I picked up at the OSU Science Review from the product reps and also piecing it together from the info I could find on the State of Minnesota website, which several of the members referred to in the forums. Anyway I got more HP, more lifting capacity as well as the mower I really wanted.
If I added the price of a Bushhog mower in with the last price of the NH package I posted it came up to $23120 including tax. So for $1880 more the wife and I are happy and feel safer with our new toy. We'll post our exploits on the Massey Ferguson forum as we they develop.
Thanks.
