New Tractor (non-wood-working tool/toy)

[Steve Schlumpf]

Wow!! Now that's a tractor! Have fun learning all about it!

[Dan Barber]

Sweet! I'm ready for another tractor!

[Keith Outten]

Beautiful tractor Greg, a real work horse machine. Those who own tractors are very fortunate as they are valuable tools that are used almost every day. I would be lost without mine and feel crippled in my efforts to maintain my property and support my workshop. A FEL is necessary in my opinion and should be installed on every tractor. Two Thumbs Up on your new machine, congratulations !!!

That is a beauty! It is hard not to think of young Henry Ford, watching his Parents and Grandparents work their fingers to the bone, wanting to come up with a way to help ease their toils. We are running out of old-timers who can tell about what life was like before the tractor and the motor car became attainable items.

[Ronald Blue]

Nice rig! You will get a lot of enjoyment out of having a cab for the hot days and keeping the bugs at bay. Front wheel assist and a loader make any tractor punch above it's weight class. Congrats!

[Edward Weber]

Congrats, it should keep you out of trouble for a while

[Dan Barber]

Nothing handier than a tractor with a loader, unless it has a grapple too

Agree. I wish I would have had a grapple at our old property over the years...it would have got a lot of use for sure.

I agree, Keith. Even though I use the Big Orange Power Tool a lot less here at our downsize property, it still provides utility and helps with a lot of things. Not bad for a machine I bought in 2021...and have had to do minimal repairs.

Greg, having third function is a really good thing for what I perceive you will be using your new tractor for. Good call on getting the cab, too, especially where you live

farmer here used different machines over the years to unload machines for me. tractors skid steers and last was a massive John Deere thing. that machine about 2,500 lbs. They always refused money saying thats what you do for neighbours. When her father was older or away I cut his lawn a number of times as thats what we do for our neighbours. Great people, their farm now becoming a sea of homes.

Very nice. Color me green.

[Brian Runau]

Very nice, I need more land so I can buy a tractor! Brian

Been a busy couple of weeks adding to the Orange Fleet.

Traded in my Polaris Ranger single seater for a new Kioti K9 2440 double seat with 24hp diesel. It’s no where near as peppy as the 60hp gas Ranger engine, but it will seat my whole family and shares the diesel fuel used in my two tractors.

Picked up a barely used Woods RT72.40 6’ tiller. It’s red but almost looks orange. LOL. Does a very nice job. Prior owner must have never really used it because other than a scratch or two in the paint, it looked and operates like new.

Traded in a bunch of older implements that were either too large or too small for this tractor along with an extra 12’ utility trailer we didn’t need and ended up with enough credit to justify some new gear.

New gear included a 64” Kioti DH2064 harrow made by Woods, a 6’ heavy duty Bad Boy rotary cutter and a 6’ Bad Boy box blade.

Also got the second rear port installed for hydraulic top and tilt links and got the Kioti 3rd function kit installed so my grapple will work now

That is an impressive fleet! I am glad not to see a snow blower throwing up a giant rooster tail.
