Took the plunge today...

Well I took the plunge today, and went with green after checking out all of my options. Washington Tractor had a deal on a batch of leftover 2017 1025R TLBs that I couldn't refuse. Delivery in 1-2 weeks (the recent snowstorm is slowing down their deliveries).

Here is a pic (although mine won't actually be this one, someone else bought this one out from under me while I was looking at it, so mine is coming in from their warehouse).

Is this your first SCUT?

 

[bmoore]

Yes it is. I've used a rental a few times (been a long time though). And my son has a midsize New Holland and lots of experience, so he'll be a good teacher for me...

You will enjoy it. In my view the trick is in getting the right accessories. A tooth bar is good. Pallet forks are something I didn’t do for a dozen years. Should have done it sooner. I went with Artillian. Though they are expensive there are other things that you can add to their platform. I haven’t done the grapple, though I wish I had one 13 years ago. I did those projects the hard way. I have a Wallenstein chipper. Not much good on spruce but wonderful for most everything else. Have fun.

Thanks! Planning to get a tooth bar, and a brush cutter. Other accessories will have to wait a bit until my checkbook recovers...
