Very nice! I do like my 5040, but a cab model would be even better.

Pic number 9. Nice shed in the background and a beautiful tree right beside it. I love old wooden out buildings, cabins, sheds, etc...

A few pics of the shed and tree maybe?

Thats an old farmhouse thats probably close to 80 years old if not older. At one time all of our property was open pasture and there is old fence lines which run all over the place here. That old farmhouse did at one time have elec power run to it and the old knob/tube wire is still inside. This part of Florida did not get electricity in most areas until after WWII as part of the Rural Electrification Program. The old house is barely standing, the rear wall is gone, and the back part of the roof has fallen, and I don't think it will be standing to much longer.

The old Live Oak in the picture is HUGE, and I would guess is 200 years old if not older. I'll try and get a few for pics for ya.

stu, did you have the dealer widen the wheel's on your new tractor? i have the center of the tires set just outside of the rear fender edge. the picture looks like it is quite a narrow stance. unless that is how you want it.

Bill,

I didn't have the dealer do a thing with the wheels, it was setup that way on the lot. These are the 16.9-28 wheels if that makes any difference. I don't have a problem with the width.... but can always have them adjusted if needed.

Thank you. I really like old buildings and very nice looking trees. It amazs me to often read (here and other forums) of how many trees are destroyed for the sake of "clearing."

Regardless, thanks for any additional pics of the tree and the house.

I'd almost be inclined to salvage (the house) all that I could in some manner of preservation. Just me I guess but once it's gone, it's gone. That is an attractive house for its legacy of time in history. In east TN, there used to be hundreds of wood barns scattered across the famrs here. Over the span of my lifetime, I have watched many of them deteriorate or otherwise be neglected and eventually fall down or are destructed and never replaced.

Thanks again for any additional pics. Nice looking tractor too. That seat is just the cat's meow....
