Well, it's here

[6or7dazeaweek]

and safely under cover. The 3520 was delivered right on time Monday morning by Stokowski & Sons fo Granville, NY. What a great outfit to do business with. I had loaded up all of my groundskeeping equipment on the landscape trailer since Monday was a day for mowing and not a day for playing with a newly delivered tractor. They took plenty of time going over the controls & features with me and just as soon as they headed back to Granville....I was in my truck headed off to mow my accounts.

I got the I-Match, ballast box & 300CX loader. No mid mount PTO was needed or anticipated. I hope I don't regret that decision later on. Saturday was a day to go to the local rock place & get some river stone. I loaded 480# of #1 river stone according to the weighmaster and that just about filled the ballast box. I was about 4" short of filling it so I mixed up half a bag of concrete & capped it off. I figure 480# of rock + the weight of the ballast box sitting on the back of the I-Match should pretty much offset the FEL.

Yup, photos will follow just as soon as I can figure out how to do the uploading.

Thanks to all who have posted previously and made my buying decision easier.
