And the winner is!!!!!!!

Congrats and welcome to the pack colorblind. (and welcome to the addiction /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif) I find every way possible to use my 30. So far I've graded my drive, drilled about fifty post holes, moved stone, fire wood and a few saw logs, moved my portable chicken coop, what to do today............ The only limitations I've run into have been my oversight, such as forgeting to use 4wd or diff lock with a load on slope. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif It will do everything you ask of it, and more. My nieghbor (NH TC35A owner) borrowed my CK to dig post holes so he didn't have to remove his BH and was very impressed with the layout, ergonomics and performance. I looked at NHs too because I've used several, excellent machines no doubt, but in the end price, warranty and most importantly DEALER were the deciding factors for me. Some dealers just plain repel potential customers, maybe I didn't look like a serious buyer, but then again his loss. Besides the wife liked orange better, didn't want another blue one on our road. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

That price is killer! You must not be in the NE.

I am not in the NE. I am in sw missouri. I am not sure if it is an 05 or 06, but he said that it was the last one at that price. The next ones will be $1500 more. So mine is probably an '05.

I see, had me going for a minute too. The changes are pretty suttle between last years and this years, different badges on the hood, and frankly I cant remember what else they changed, nothing major. There was a pricing adjustment last fall and yours was probably shipped prior to that, non the less, a very sweet deal!

As others have said, welcome to the pack.
As you have discovered in a very short time, these are great tractors.
I wouldn't worry about the loader, just check it occassionally.
I checked mine today while I was doing the 50 hr, and still no cracks.
I moved six tons of CR6 yesterday, and a bucket of that stuff is heavy.
Sounds like you got a good price.
Enjoy the new toy /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
