Hello from Alaska

Obviously new on this forum. I've been lurking for awhile. Put my New Holland TC45 SuperSteer on the market this past spring (didn't expect it to sell in 7 days!) and thought I could get by without any equipment for a year or two. Within a month I was complaining and griping so much about not being able to lift, relocate, dig and plow that my wife told me to either get something soon or I'd be sleeping alone in the basement. She's all about 0% interest, so it wasn't hard to convince her that a new CTL was the way to go. Found a 2012 Case TR270 from the local Case Dealer here in Fairbanks, (it actually was shipped up from Montana) and now, here I am. Hope there's a place in this Forum for CTL owners. Have lots of questions.
Thanks
Thomas

Greetings Thomas, welcome to Tractor by net. I spent some time in Alaska when I was in the Coast Guard, beautiful place - do you have to use block heaters on your equipment?

Sorry, guess I haven't been on in awhile. Yep, block heaters, silicone pan / battery heaters and battery trickle chargers are a must if equipment is kept outside. We have temps in the winter down to -55. Maryland is where my wife is from, beautiful scenery there and in PA.
