Nice rig!! They sure did pack a lot of tractors onto that flatbed.

Nice machine! That is a lot of Boomers on that truck! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Is that a Peterbilt 379? Those are nice.

Rich very nice looking 40D, How wide did you go on the box blade?

Nice looking rig. I bet that canopy comes in handy in that New Mexico sun, and it doesn't look like you have to worry about low-hanging trees!

Rich,

Way to go... I know how nice it felt when my new (to me) TC35D showed up on Friday and I got to play with it on Saturday... can't imagine how I'd have held off all week if it'd arrived on Monday... you have more self-restraint than I do <grin>...

Congrats Stonehog ... She's a beaut!

PineRidge, Corriher recommended the 72" boxblade which is what I got. In playing around with it I have managed to load it up to the top and the tractor didn't show any signs of bogging down. As you can probably see my land is mostly sandy and loose so it doesn't take much to break it up. I don't think I will ever need the rippers. I wish I had some real "soil". Pretty much have to stick with native, drought tolerant vegatation.

Rich I was thinking in the back of my mind that if I went with a 84" boxblade I might be sorry later, since we have a lot of clay on our property. Guess I'll stick with the 72" no sense pushing my luck. Thanks for the reply.
