Good morning!!!!

When I glue boards together I wipe all the excess glue off when I clamp it together. I’ve found it effects stain.

Well, it did get delivered today!












That hydro is going to take some getting used to...
Also...gotta remember the brakes are on the LEFT side now! And, no clutch!
The loader looks to be much more heavy duty than what I had on the 400X on the 4520

I don't think I'm going to need chains...had them when I had the 4400 with turfs, but I never used them after we moved to Vermont. I do want to rig the snow blower up...see it the PTO drive shaft is going to be OK and figure out how the rear remotes work with the joystick controller

Great looking Deere Roy! You will have a good time with that.

Pretty area Roy! Congrats on the new tractor.

Happy Birthday BEF sorry I got wrong day

Still time for a present. 300 ft of asphalt rolled on the driveway would work.

Nice tractor Roy....................:thumbsup:

Looks good Roy,
What is the control Knob behind the window for?
Then I see 3 switches on the left fender,
is that the forward and reverse inching switchs?
So the joystick is able to switch from the loader to the rear remote,
I knew some of the larger tractors did that with the proportional electric valves.

Heard relays clicking on the UPSs while I was making that last post, and sure enough, power went off at 5:17AM. Otherwise, I wouldn't even have noticed.:thumbsup:

When I got the e-mail from the dealer, gotta admit I was concerned...but since the dealer had been acquired by United Ag and Turf, systems such as sales, parts and such, have changed...all on-line now. These guys at the dealer are old school...and things like this will happen.
Other then familiarizing myself with the controls, I won't have any real need for the tractor until the snow flies...as I wrote...bit of a bummer, but no real problems

I was going to say the situation was like a dollar waiting on a dime. But I see it arrived, so I hope you enjoy it and it serves you well! I have a feeling you will like the hydrostatic.....and the brakes belong on the left, so you can use them to brake steer.

265 tons base mix today move jobs till they finish more of the building driveway tomorrow

Red winged blackbird beautiful

Great picture wngsprd

Kyle wish I was closer have about 125 tons stockpiled more than happy to share

I wish all of you guys lived nearby. Can you imagine the support system we could have with the knowledge, tools, and willingness herein?

Hope your skin treatments get healed up. I have a few spots I will treat soon with my own liquid nitrogen at work.


RNG, glad to see all your hard work and money are bearing fruit in the form of electrons flowing in your wires!

Well, I may have bit off a big bite to chew. For a song, I bought at auction, a sight unseen Steiner 230. Knowing that it is not running, but not knowing what is wrong. It is on an old trailer that does not come with it, so I'm making a guess that it died in it's tracks. Hopefully something not too expensive. It has a kubota diesel engine, a deck that looks in good shape, and tires in decent shape....Hope to travel next week to pick it up. I know nothing about Steiners or Ventracs.
