swampvol, Qrazy, this tractor thing can be addictive! 5:30am Sun. and I am heading out to see if it's dry enough to work. Wife gave her blessing to miss church today. Says she feels competition from the "orange" girl.
I stopped by dealer Fri. and the Woods tiller looks awesome. It was larger than expected. Dealer says it's from Italy. It looks "heavy-duty"! Looking forward to trying out. Several warnings in owners manual about "hot" areas to avoid after working, and to let it "cool" down. This will be interesting to see.

I am guessing around 7000 lbs. Tractor and fel 5000ish loaded tires 1000ish and rear boxblade ( I leave on most of time) 800ish. The cab was a smart (lucky) investment. I did it more for safety and I now could not imagine an open station in our area. I'm NOT tough enough.

I will be looking for a 15' in the fall ($ permitting). I have a 30 and a 40a field and the 7' got small quick! It's great on tight roads and around the ponds.

I am TOO:D

Any woman who insists on "more power" and gives blessings to miss church in order to spend time with the "orange" girl is a keeper!:D

Actually, my wife was very happy I finally took the plunge and got mine.

She figures I won't spend hours surfing Fastline and Tractorhouse and drooling over brochures in the can any more. She's even insisted on my getting a training seat and belt so she can learn how to drive it.

The cab is a must have if you are going to spend time in the hot Texas sun.

After 27 years of crawling through cockleburrs, blood weeds, johnson grass, sucking dust and dirt and getting baked by the sun, I'm soooo ready for that cab.

Congrats on yours. She's a beaut!
