B7500 finally in the barn.

[NewTexan]

Well guys I finally managed to take delivery of my new B7500,272 FEL, Rhino SE4 RM and they are great. Now if I could only sneek away from unpacking the house hold goods I could drive the dang thing. I did manage to slip out of the house this evening unnoticed and play/work in the drive way and man will it scoop up dirt.
Unfortunatly we had a little excitement in our move from Ca to Tx. The movers dropped my 88 Jeep YJ out of the back of the semi onto the street /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif
After I threatened to bring them to Jesus the hard way they straighted up enough to finish getting the job done. The moving company VP oversaw the rest of my move and it turned out ok.
It was worth the anguish to be able to own a tractor and acrage again.
When we find the digital Camera I will post a pic of the B7500. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

First of all my yehaaaaa is just fine. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif I said that when I crossed the California state line headed east and besides until 2000 we had lived in Oklahoma all our lives.

As for the dropped jeep /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif
The movers showed up 4 hrs late, fought all day, called our stuff tacky sh@$ and so on. At about 10:30 p.m. they decided to put my jeep in the back of the semi and pack around it. The truck driver and the loaders argued on who need to drive it up the ramps into the truck. After the third attempt they got everything but the back tires off of the ramps, the loader (for some reason) stopped then reved the engine and dumped the clutch. The ramps flew out and the jeep fell out of the truck on the back axle with the front tires staying in the truck. about 3.5 feet all together. As far as I can tell the transfer case seals are leaking, the back axle is out of alignment, the auto lockers on the front axle lockers are stuck in the locked position.
The moving company has sent a PO number to the local dealer to fix anything wrong with the vehicle. I have actually recieved a Phone call from the V.P of the moving company and been told they will fix everything. We shall see.

As for Pics of the B7500 hopfully I can send pictures tomorrow. They will be out in the moring to install the canopy and I will shoot some pics.

Later. I have more stuff to set up in the new house.
