My beast broke out of the steel cage

[JOHNTHOMAS]

My B2320 was in a steel chage with no wheels, seat or steering wheel on Friday. I stopped by today to see if it was in the shop on jack stands getting its final assembly. To late. It had just been pulled out on the lot completed.
Jamie was moving all of the tractors in its row to get a truck in the storage bldg so I told him I'd move mine. So, I'm now an experienced B2320 gear drive tractor driver.
Interesting for a HST only driver for seven years and several different models. I had some concern when I tried to stop it, HST stop when you let off and I never use the brakes on the HST's but having to start using the brake pedal now seems strange. I think I'll like it for what I bought it for. Actually it seemed fun. It has the bunch of gears, tried M 3 and it almost jumped out from under me. Went to L 3 and did smoother. It has the hand throttle plus an additional foot throttle similiar to my past L3240HST Grand.
A storm was coming so I told Steve I didn't want any hail damage to it (big storm came thru a couple of weeks ago and did extensive hail damage to vehicles). He put it in the storage bldg.:laughing: And he put someones BX25 in the bldg also that he said he just sold.
Signed the papers and will get it delivered Wednesday, next day I'll be back out to the rental property.
Also asked for only two hats for the two 6 year old Grands who are at my house all day instead of for part of the day due to Spring break.
More good news, Thank the Lord!!! I rec'd notice from my bank that my interest rate on my commercial loan had been reduced by almost $150 a month effective in May 2011. My pmnt on the B2320 is $156 or $158 with the Ky 6% sales tax.

Yes........I'm up for that.:thumbsup: Well, would they like want me to work regular hours and take orders/directions from superiors and like so many hours a week and come and go on a regular schedule?
Maybe not interested. Been sort of retired for ten years so may be difficult to get back into that sort of schedule.
Sounded good at first thought but after more consideration of the down side, I think I'll pass so don't go sending any recommendations for me.:laughing:

Congratulatioms on the seat time and the new ride! :thumbsup: Looking at your B2320, it almost looks like more fun than the hydro tractors! :thumbsup::laughing: That is what you call "geardrostatic". :laughing:

Your new Kubota really reminds me of my Yanmar. :laughing::thumbsup: One think for a cool shot is get your camera down low and tilt up so it is looking up at your tractor. Thats how i get the cool shots on mine. Here is an example shown in the last picture. :thumbsup:
