Well I got it today coordinating the delivery took a while and we didn't get everything hauled to the ranch. The Shredder, Loader Bucket and Box Blade wouldn't fit happily on a 24' gooseneck along with the Tractor, Grapple and Auger so on Friday AM they will bring out the rest. We got here about 3:00 and I just came in it's 7:00 so for 4 hours I've been working in the fields cleaning up some brush piles with the grapple. It is amazing and a lot of fun to boot OH! wait Lot of WORK. I have to admit I didn't go to work today so my honey ran the shop all day without me and shes on her way home now believe it or not she doesn't even sound grumpy. I would have loved to of gotten pictures before I went and got it dirty but she has the Camera in her purse, anyway the delivery truck was a 3/4 ton ford with a gas V8 and so the tractor had to be unloaded outside the gate because the truck try as it might could not pull the entrance hump with the springs flowing across it he buried the truck twice and had to roll back down before he gave up. Thanks Again Everyone You are a great help.
I didn't quit early so I could come in here and write I discovered what the big deal about having extra lights mounted high is all about. I ran with the headlights for a while but just couldn't see everything I felt like I needed to see and I'd hate to do damage to the Tractor before I've owned it 24 hours theres always tommorrow if I can figure out how to get out of Turkey Day (Yea Right) maybe tommorrow night.
Thanks Again

That sounds like a nice tractor. Some day I'd like a bigger one like yours, but for now I'll have to be content with a smaller version. Post some pictures when you get a chance. Condradulations on the new family member! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Liquidator I got it at the Ewald Tractor in Boerne From Herb he was great to work with even with all the troubles with the Grapple (none of that was his doing he ordered it correctly and either FFC or CE Attachments made it for the wrong machine. The rest of the equipment came Fri although a little later because of vehicle troubles.
