Fabulous looking rig you have there!

Welcome to Ontario!. You sure are going to appreciate that cab up here in the winter time. Where exactly are you moving to?

I will be heading out by the Lansdowne area by the 1000 island area. From my dads place, you can see the bridge going to the US at Watertown, NY.

Having traveled across Canada and the US so many times, I always looked at where I wanted to retire and I am always drawn back to the 1000 Islands area.

Welcome to the frozen north. I live 20 miles from the Canandian border. I have a very good friend that has a farm in Merrickville Ot. I started making syrup 8 years ago as a hobby. I had maybe 10 taps now I am up to 500. What town will you be near?

I woudn't consider the 1000 island region the "frozen north". I grew up in the sub-artic region of Labrador, now that I would call frozen.

About how much was the box blade, and how do you like it??

It listed out at about $3200, but since I bought as part of a package deal with my L5740, I got for $2200.

The BB I got is the industrial version and is quite heavy. It is capable of either locked or floating rear blade and has a hydraulic ripper.

For the limited time that I have had it and played with it, I absolutly love it. Used in conjunction with the T-N-T, it really makes short work on leveling.
