For now I am going back out to stand in the driveway and wait for the delivery truck as I have been doing since 11 this morning when I faxed the order and wired the money to Tazewell. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Way to go. I envy the higher lift and the torquer wheel motors. Have fun CJ because I know you will and let us know if you have any trouble.

Be careful and have fun!!

I'm confused. You say:

"Well I have finally gotten off the fence and ordered my tractor."

But you are getting a post hole digger attachment. Why get the post hole digger if you already have a fence?

Just in time for the holidays! /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Congratulations! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Be sure to have some fuel ready for it when picking it up, as they ship them almost bone dry. Just a gallon should get you going OK.

Go easy on the foot pedals in forward AND reverse and have fun. And remember to keep all the loads down as low as possible and that the center of gravity changes dramatically as you turn the unit. Have fun and let us know how it goes... /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Hearty congrats, and welcome aboard! What a great Christmas present.

I'm confident that you will thoroughly enjoy working with your machine. As everyone has already admonished, proceed slowly as you learn the quirks of these great little work beasts. Watch those treadles, especially reverse, and always shut 'er down when you dismount, particularly during the "honeymoon."

Get some pics when it's delivered. We love to see pics...

Well, I had to come back in from the driveway, it was getting to cold out there +16F now. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif
Thank you all /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif for the information and honest opinions of what you all have seen and done with your PT's. I hope to be able to add my experiences to the wealth of knowledge I have encountered here. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
I called Scott @ Power Trac and he said they had my order ready to go except for the forks... /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif Said they should be completed this afternoon and ready to go on the truck tomorrow(Thursday). Which means I probably won't get it til Tues or Wed next week. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
I will try to get some pictures of the packing/shipment when I go to pick it up. It is being sent to a shipping terminal about half way between where I live and where I work.
once again...
Thanks for sharing all the experiences. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Hope to be a contributor soon. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif
