Tractor
Bobcat CT230
Bobcat, CT230
FEL w/bolt on cutting edge
3pt angled back blade
Filled tires (R4s)
Engine block heater
$18,891

Don't really need the block heater in NH, but I can flip the switch on in the morning before I have my coffee and when I'm done the oil is warmed up enough to flow freely as soon as I start it up.

Should be delivered next week.

Yeah, HST. Firstly, the wife has a hard enough time with my standard, she can drive it, but her car has to be dead, I have to be dead, and she's got to want to go someplace something bad before she'll drive it. Gears and clutch on a tractor? Uh uh.

Secondly, unlike Kioti, Bobcat seems to be doing the HST as pretty much the only option on their CT2XX tractors. They might lose some sales that way, but the maintenance and parts lines ought to be a lot easier (and cost effective) to run that way.

And the dealer called this morning and asked me if I'd want to wait 5 weeks for the 72 in blade, or if I would accept the 84 inch one no extra charge.
Uhm, does a bear do his business in the woods? Sure!

the 84" is the right size anyway.

Getting 2 rear remotes for your top and tilt set? :licking: A tilt cylinder would be very handy to have with that back blade. ;)
