Thanks for the warm welcome. I look forward to the knowledge available from this forum. I have purchased a property here in NC, had a house built on it. I still have a TON of work to do and purchased the tractor in hopes I will increase the property value enough to off set the cost of the tractor. My brother has me just about talked into recording my work and posting it. It may be interesting to some to see a "city boy" adapt to a different lifestyle. I have been here in NC for approx 14 years but stuff like this is still very new to me. If I end up doing that I will post links on here. I doubt the vids will be informative to the masses on here but will be for people in my situation. It should be good for a laugh at any rate watching some one learn something new. RK Tractor Guy, I assume you in some for work for Rural King. If that's the case, I would like to take a min and express how happy I am with the service from Chuck at the Wythville VA location. Everyone is quick to complain in hopes of getting something for compensation and hardly anyone will give credit where credit is do. Has answered all my questions and very pleasant to deal with. Sold me what I needed and didn't bloat the deal with crap I didn't. I am a bounty hunter by trade and in my line of work I deal with bulls%^TTers all day and can't stand it when I have to deal with them and not get paid for it. Let alone have to deal with them and me pay them lol. Also, I hate I can't remember the gentlemen's name who helped me with the Sthil chainsaw I purchased. He was very nice and extremely knowledgeable. I intended to purchase a MS251 but ended up walking out the door with the MS271. I'm not easily persuaded to upgrade on the fly like that but this man knew what he was talking about, made a logical case for the MS271 over the 251 and presented it in a way that was not pushy. I'm not sure if its a Sthil restriction or what but I had no idea that they were offered through RK via the website. I intended to purchase my saw from a local shop the day prior but was held up at work. I guess everything happens for a reason right? I'm not sure what the companies prerequisites are for a new location but we need a store in Elkin NC! The TS and Walmart are pitiful here. RK would have no problem pulling shoppers from those locations!
