New Toolcat Purchase

[AdmiralS]

Very nice! The one thing I noticed is the adjustable 3pt lift arm link is on the left side. It doesn't matter except most of the time it is on the right. If you want, it can be switched very easily.

That is funny. I always get out of my machines to the left so usually switch it to the left side so I dont need to walk around the implement if it needs an adjustment.

Looks like the hydraulic toplink I bought it going to work out perfect.

Gotta pay for it
Next time take a left and head up to Maines coast. They say that there's 3600? miles of coastline with all the islands, "fingers" and inlets. Lots of available safe harbors for overnights and coastal towns for eating, shopping and fuel.
I have cousins that live on 2 different islands. One is about 9 miles out.

Maine is awesome. Grew up sailing the entire coast and just exploring the area. Its as good as it gets

Just heard from the dealer

All the goodies should be here in the next week, week and half

So should be ready for me in 2 weeks or so with everything installed!

PHEW!!! An ad just popped up on FB marketplace for a 2024 Toolcat, $96,000!!!! Those things are cool for sure, but $96,000 ouch!!I am sure you have earned it though, congrats on a cool new tool. I have never seen one in person but they look like just about the handiest machine out there.

Today was the day! The conclusion of the 14 Month Journey!

And perfect timing with the 15+ inches of snow we are expected to get tonight

Made quick work of some upgrades before the snow -

1. Hydraulic Top link
2. Cat 1 Quick Hitch repainted in Bobcat Orange
3. Jensen HD Bluetooth Radio

Had to change the mounts on the snow pusher to get a better back drag angle and will need to adjust the shoes as well, but ran out of time and energy

So far very very happy with the machine, and so pleased that it doesn't have the same whine that the Kubota had!

ToolCats are now officially out of control and insane. A new 2024 UW53 is almost 100k!

Now both of us are tucked in for the night waiting for the snow day tomorrow!

Congrats! That is going to be quite the snow fighting machine.

Another few hours of snow to go and then get to go out and play!

They reduced the forecast but we have already gotten more than they called for. Should end up around 12"

wish we had snow like that, couple weeks ago we had 4 inches, fun in the toolcat but not worth clearing it, did anyway
