My New Machine???

[Dougster]

Dougster, That's when you put it in low 1st and pop the wheel back down, sit back in that big seat and pray all that rubber around you doesn't touch the flowers.
hugs, Brandi

No way!!! Gotta be in low range 1st gear alright... but also standing up to see exactly where that cutting edge is doing its thang! You've got to remember that I work in tight residential spaces where your 6520 wouldn't even fit with the bucket and 511 off... let alone turn around and actually do productive work!

Why do you think I'm looking at little ASV RC-30s?

If I wuz considering that tractor I'd also consider purchasing land near its present location so I could enjoy driving it year around. Diggin's a lot easier if Florida too!

Well, the GF likes the idea of the snowbird retirement thing... and she's the retirement planning financial wiz between the two of us. It will be up to her to make that plan work!

Of course, that doesn't explain how I'm going to make *millions* snowplowing... but that's another story.

Dougster,
Yeah, the Big Red Beast is like a bull in a china store while mowing. I have so many trees, I sometimes have to put the loader all the way up to turn around the trees. I leave the loader on to act as a "cow catcher" on a train and catch any stumps or logs I fail to see, then I can push the logs out of the way.

Actually, if I were to live in NH, I would be looking at the 7010. With those weather extremes, a cab would be a must and those 3 rear remotes come standard.

I just passed a 7010 for sale just above Lincolnville, Maine. Nice machine!

I also use the "loader all the way up" technique to make extremely tight turns in very limited space. But then ya gotta watch out for the client's low hanging branches from trees behind you!!! Oh no!!!

'05 w/ML170 180hrs, w/ Finnish made chipper 8"?, rake & blade $32K
The chipper was hooked up, didn't see either the rake or blade.
I have no idea of the value but, that's quite a few pennies.

I think we can safely say that machine is well outside the financial realm of the Dirt Poor Dougster.

Brian,
You would give up that cool mountain air? I want to move out to West Texas at 5200 feet. That would be real nice. I am tired of the humidity here on the Gulf Coast.

Been thinking about Montana, been there a few times in the winter,(always below 0) and once in July. To many people here in Southern California 30-35 million. The whole state of Montana has a little over 1 million. Biiiiig difference in people per square mile.
