Congratulations. Now get out there an move some dirt!! And don't forget to post a few photos once you've gotten it dirty.

Don't forget a toothbar. Will make digging a lot easier and will also contribute to clearing and moving brush.

Good choice!!! You sure are in for some fun the next few weeks. Take it slow at first on you hills until you get a feel for things. Glad to see you had the rear tires filled it helps a lot. I’ll agree that the tooth bar and Quick Attach on the loader are worthy options. Stop in and tell us how it is going.

Mark,

"Hey miles, it looks to shiny, get out there and get it dirty."

That's exactly what the CFO told me upon waking this morning. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

First real work this morning.

Pulled some t-posts using chain and hooks on FEL.

Hooked the chain on a large manzanita and it pulled out, roots and all, like butter.

Used FEL as a wheel-barrow for transfer of road run-off silt to a new tire garden for strawberries next to house. See picture. Sure beats using a hand wheel-barrow to push the dirt up hill to the garden.

CFO took first turn on the tractor this morning. Loooovvves it!

We are realizing that a tractor is a great strength equalizer for age and gender.
