Good morning!!!!

Jay we're with you my friend. :thumbsup:

No, not at all. That was a great answer. I have a similar mistrust of my local LS dealer, and went elsewhere, so I completely understand.



We talked about that, too. My youngest stepson said they have one with a metal blade where he works, and thought they would likely let him borrow it for a weekend. If not, then I might look into renting one. There's a place not too far from us called Grand Rental Station that has them. We rented a hydraulic post hole auger from them when we built the deck.

" I have a similar mistrust of my local LS dealer,"

We have a great LS Dealer here in Texas PJ. I've bought an XR4046HC in 2014 then traded it in on my present XR4155HC from them in 2017. RCO has provided excellent service on both.

LS (Ted) bought his most recent tractor there and possibly his first one as well. His neighbor got his there too. I think he went back and upgraded to a bigger tractor too.

There are some sorry dealers out there .. for many brands.

The front arrived here at 4 p.m. and temperature dropped from 83° to 69° in about 20 minutes. The rains just started and we're getting a bit of lightning.

Jay .. good luck with your procedure tomorrow .. you're added to our prayers for a good result.

I'll have a Jack Daniels, in your honor, this evening.

Prayers, Jay.

I couldn't find the video where Matt talks about the metal cutting circular saw but this is it.

PJ, I have also used this blade in my circular saw. Worked very well cutting, but definitely throws a bunch of metal chips. A face shield would be highly recommended if you use one like this.

My thoughts will be with you tomorrow Jay. I hope everything checks out ok.

I did not get to any of the fencing today.... I found other little incidental things to do (like gate latches, a couple of short little rails to tie into the other fences, etc..) effectively procrastinating doing those awful fence staples.... tomorrow I will not have any more excuses....

It is a shame that some dealers are so bad after the sale. Like Rick said, our dealer in Texas goes above and beyond just about every time I have needed something. Even though I am 600+ miles away, I still have confidence in the dealer.

Did your neighbor get his new tractor okay?
