    2000 Tym. Bucket & forks. 585 hours. Tough sell because it sat out & looks rough. Brought it home for cheap. Runs & works well. Six tractors, five trucks, & three trailers.:bug: 20200902_165500.jpg 20200902_165513.jpg

    You may indeed need an intervention, but I'm not sure anyone around here can help you. Looking in all the wrong places for help! Looks like it will get er done.

    Buyers remorse is pretty unlikely Kevin, this little turd will do more than I thought. I think it was a real deal.
    I knew somebody was gonna ask. :rofl: :lol: Only a dozen. :picard:

    I hope it treats you well. I know you will give it some TLC. Going to keep it or flip it?

    :eek: Oh, you DO need an intervention. Nobody needs six tractors. I’ll be over to intervene by borrowing one or two in order help you out and alleviate some of your embellishments.

    I'm planning to keep it, it's a good size to trailer to job sites & load logs, haul brush, move the chipper etc. May get it painted, mechanically it's very good to excellent. It just sat outside all the time.
    C'mon over Gas, got a couple extra's if you need one.:salute:

    Nice size machine. Painting tractors sure can be a rabbit hole.

    500 hrs. is pretty much brand new. Not even any wear on the tires.
    I'd say you did pretty darn good.

    Here's an action shot. It handled this White Oak no issue. Lifts a bit more than my buddy's 'bota. Kinda surprised me. 20200905_151541.jpg

    Sweet!! I wonder how much trouble I could cause with one of those :)
    Looks like a great deal. Bucket and forks? Any grapple in its future?

    I'm going to explore the grapple option in the future. It's not a ssqa setup, so it'll take take some fab work.

    Right on Lyle! As I quipped to a friend of mine last week, "the dollar's almost worthless, so I might as well have stuff".
