Test drive for a new owner

[stonebase]

Hi Everyone!

Today was the day I had the opportunity to "test drive" Cerberus' machine (whew, I thought I'd never get all that limestone moved!!!!). It was a very informative and enjoyable meeting and I would like to thank John again for inviting me down and taking his time to explain his tractor setup and answer ALL my questions. It is an honor to belong to such a community as TBN where members sincerely care about sharing their experiences and information with one another in order to make our common interest safe and even more enjoyable.

Attached in the next few posts are some pictures!

I still get that look when I'm on the tractors. I'm sure to wipe it off before I get back in the house though, or my wife thinks I'm having fun instead of working. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Garry isn't it remarkable how most any tractor can do that to a grown man...... /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

John .
Glad you enjoyed the time on the machine . Not many dealers in the area will let you teat drive . So I figured that as your were close by offer a drive .
It's always great to meet new people , and make new friends .
You did have a couple of Questions that I hope I answered clearly , But I think if you were to ask them here you'd get a clearer idea as to what your choices are . Tires , trans type ,
mower type , and the size ( weight) of rear attachments.
You could also do a search on those items . But a lot of times the poster has a different set of needs than what you might have . so posting your specific circumstances along with the question will get you some very specific answers .
Again , It was a real pleasure . John

Betcha don't get many Okies in Volant. Is that Apple Dumplin House still there? I got their Wedding Soup recipe smuggled out to me.

Cerberus really isn't that ugly is he? /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif Must be the camera. Funny the tractor looks nice, though...
