    You are welcome. For some reason I did not receive a notification or “alert” with post to my thread. Something I did or didn’t do, I’m sure. Sorry for late response.

    Home safe and sound. Unloaded and put in barn. I need to get warmed up and have lunch. Wind is nasty out there! 4574ECE2-8A77-49E7-A963-382DFDEB019C.jpeg

    These two are curious, and as always, hungry.

    Tractor is running well. No charge for repairing coolant reservoir or minor service.

    I’m getting better at finding the septic tank every time. :thumbs: Pumper coming in a few hours. I’m VERY lucky we got some warm temperatures.

    Whew! $8000 is certainly a strong incentive to "go red". Welcome to our little club foxtrapper, and since your new, we'll have to have some pics to verify this new tractor:rofl: :lol:.

    Nice work Gasifier is your backhoe a subframe or 3 point mount? You and thewoodlands seem to get s lot of use out of them.

    If I was really clever I would have said - $8000 would make anyone "see red":D

    Subframe. Really like working on my property with machinery. Need to get out and cut some firewood in this weather that those bugs don’t care for.:thumbs:

    She’s a beauty foxtrapper !! I am sure you will make out fine with it. Just keep an eye on fluid levels. I have had to tighten all of my coolant fittings a ways and even replaced a few of the clamps as they were defective. Enjoy your new machine!

    Cleaning up the snow behind the barn and getting it scraped down good. This will help keep the water from going into the barn when the snow melts.
