Hello from Texas

[Squirrel's242]

Good afternoon yall
Wanted to say hello after joining. After several years of looking to buy a tractor, I finally purchased a new LS MT242 and wanted a place for guidance when I ask dumb questions.

I live on 5.5a sandy, rolling, half wooded acres. I do a lot of land maintenance, light dirt work and tree work and the tractor was bought to help me do all that.

For the tractor I have a 6' Armstrong box blade as my first implement. I've got 150yds of driveway that needs maintenance. I'm planning on getting a FEL post hole auger soon and eventually a set of pallet forks and grapple. I'm currently in the middle of building a new perimeter fence on the property and the tractor will do some work there too.

Well, thanks for having me. Yall have a good day.

Howdy partner, welcome to TBN from East Texas. Texas is a big place. Be sure and update your profile location to show what part of the great state of Texas you call home. You may find several members close to you that can help out in a pinch.

Welcome to TBN neighbor!

Sounds like you're somewhere between me and the coast.

Thanks for the welcome guys. I'm in South Central Texas.

Tinhack, I try to keep close enough to the coast to go fishing.

Welcome aboard. Lots of info on here from a whole lotta years a learning. I have found it helpful to search on my tractor type forum and peruse through the posts to learn little tidbits of info.

I have a 3pt auger, I used to build our pick ur own farm. Wish I had a known about the FEL type about 13 yrs ago. Now I rarely use it but still not enough to sell it.

Welcome! Same story; bought a tractor and came here to ask dumb questions, although I find the answers a lot of times before I even knew I had that particular question.
You'll probably also find projects that you didn't know you had as well.
