Good morning!!!!

[bullbreaker]

I had a .357 Magnum New Vaquero with a 5.5" barrel...nice gun with a fake case hardened finish (which I do NOT recommend) ....but I always liked short barreled revolvers and I wanted a birds head grip so I sold the New Vaquero and bought another one (also .357 Magnum)

This new one is a fun gun...a bit more muzzle flip due to the shorter barrel.

I have the same New Ruger Vaquero also Mr Roy . Mines a 3.75" barrel /blued / birds hd grip / in 45 acp . Luv it ! I got a DeSantis Doc Holiday holster for it . Even has a leather string that ties over hammer , I find its good idea espiecially when riding the horses keeps revolver from coming out of holster and gettin lost in forrest ..............

Yes, will need new avatar at some point.

Something like this, perhaps?

Don't forget the glass canopy RNG.

otherwise, electronic power shuttle with push button clutch on gearshift lever, forward hydraulics set up for a WR Long grapple I have, and R1 Trelleborg radial tires. Basically their deluxe cab option, plus a radio/cd. 2 rear SCV's, I don't need three at this point. Fender mounted three point raise/lower switches. Extendable forks. Basically all of the nice Kubota hitch setup just another level more heavy duty than what I have now.
And a trainer seat. Extra lights, not sure about filling tires, heavy enough already. Air suspension seat. 70hp Agco Sisu engine, 3.3 litre 3 cylinder,
fully made in new high tech Agco factory in China. Probably good I did this now before some tariffs get slapped on it...

Very nice, Drew...I think you're going to like the shuttle shift (Deere calls it a Power Reverser). Easy to use, minimal HP loss (compared to a hydro). The Power Reverser doesn't require use of the clutch, but I always do...easier on the transmission and the operator.
Congrats!

nice job! Though that might be closer to Kioti Red...

wrote a nice note to JD salesman and will deliver it to him tomorrow
with some always appreciated green consolation. He represented JD well and spent hours working on quotes
for me.

blew leaves this afternoon and then changed oil in JD garden tractor. I swear it runs just a little smoother
with a fresh oil change.

thanks for best wishes. I'll back them up with a 2 year warranty and 4 years on powertrain...

there's no such thing RNG. My only big decision was self leveling loader, which would be super for using my elevated man lift for tree trimming, or a regular FEL which has significantly more capacity. I went for capacity for best utilization of a much heavier tractor than I have now.
Massey Ferguson 47 Global Series: Visioroof & New Optional Upgrades - YouTube
this guy's voice is really tiresome, but it shows the new glass roof, which is a must have for me since I can't bend my neck to see the guy in the man lift now without serious pain later. Twice now I've had to stop early because I was in too much pain from bending my neck. With this glass roof, very little neck bending. It's funny, they call this Visio roof, and here my 1955 Farmall Super A's mid mount cultivator is called Cultivision.
All about seeing what you are doing without being a contortionist.

Basically Agco/Massey brings some very nice bigger tractor features down to the lower priced models, whereas Deere makes you spring
for a upper model tractor to get certain features, just like happens with trucks and cars.

I did not look at New Holland at all nor Kubota, both for dealership issues locally.
One I didn't know at all and one I didn't want to know any more.
No other models with local dealers, Kioti tried and bombed.

“not sure about filling tires, heavy enough already”

You’ll regret not loading your tires Drew. I’ve got filled tires, on my 100 HP New Holland, and wish it was even heavier when pushing out dead trees, etc. Lots of choices of fluids from water with RV antifreeze, WS wiper fluid, or RimGuard.

Much easier to get dealer to do it than to try to do it yourself later.

Both of my tractor’s tires are loaded with water and RV anti-freeze.

Drew, DLH Farms has I think 3 videos on You Tube on the 4700 Massey tractors. Likes and dis- likes. Ed

Drew, we are waiting almost patiently for your tractor decision.

How nice...and you won't have to wait longer. :dance1:
Got a nice package deal on a MF 4707 with 6 foot reverse rotation rototiller and a 6 foot bush hog.
Two conveniences sold me, I could get the glass roof and buddy seat at a price I could afford, and couldn't do that
in the JD. Otherwise the tractors were 7 hundred bucks apart. I decided on the larger one since I bought too small last time.
It will be my Christmas present.

Have you given any thoughts on how Santa is going to fit that down the chimney ?????

Good evening all. 52F this morning, overcast, calm wind. Partly cloudy for most of the day, more wind than predicted, and a high temp of 77F. Today was wife's b-day, so she set a low key agenda, stepdaughter and I did a low key campaign to get her some birthday cards which turned out well, spent most of the day visiting with her sisters. They leave in the morning, as does the warm air .
Drew, congrats on the new tractor, hope it works really well for you! :cool2:
prayers for all.
