In response to the quote, I hate where I live and our rural property that we hope to move to is only a stepping stone to getting out of here. I hope. It is very hard to just get up and leave when you have a 30+ year old business that has been good to you, your family is here and you have been in...

I envy you and your situation. I keep thinking about moving out of loony land and going to Montana. But Wyoming would be great also. Sure would be nice to live in a state with less than a million people. We have about 3 million here in San Diego County:yuk: and over 40 million in the...

This is probably the wrong place to ask, but I will anyway. I've been thinking about getting a 4 in 1 skid steer attach bucket with a spill guard. Something around 84" wide with smooth blades, no digging teeth. What brand do you have and how much would it cost? Any pics available? I have a...

mtntopper, I have a question. If you don't need this new job/business, why not tell people no?:confused: Orrrrr, do you not need it, but you enjoy doing it?:smile: Myself, I would jump at the opportunity to be able to make a good living using my equipment.:biggrin:

I believe that on our compact and utility tractors that it is best to have the bottom of the bucket 15 degrees or less to the ground. Industrial loaders are constructed differently and can take the abuse. Myself, I have found that I get great results with the bucket flat with the ground or...

How many of us are weekend warriors, retired so that you get to work all the time,:mrgreen: or actually use our tractors for work? Myself, I am just a weekend warrior.:(

Just wondering, what about the Deere is more operator friendly? I believe the price difference, when I was looking, the Deere's were way out of line, or so it seemed to me.

I pretty much like everything about my Mahindra except that every once in a while it is a little on the big side. But then again there are times when it just isn't big enough either. The one thing that bothers me the most is that the draw bar and bracket are not high enough. That may be because...

Well this is a little different than what you asked for, but my 1st tractor was my Case 310 dozer. I didn't even own any land that I could use it on. :huh: People would ask me why I had that old tractor. My answer was that it was my link to the land that I would someday own and need it for...

Man, I am really slow. You guys make all these posts and me, I was still typing my first response. :lam: Oh well, I doubt that I will get much faster than I am now, such is life. A man has to know his limitations, and I have about reached mine.:D

I don't blame you Doug, well not for everything anyway.:D

You guys crack me up. With Doug's Smiley display you would think that you thought it was bad news to poke fun at me.:poke: Would you buy a certain make of automobile if it only came in one color? If you liked the auto but hated the color, would you think about getting it painted so that you...

So JDtoys, have you bought your new machine yet?

Do you guys want the short or long version?:whistle:

JDtoys, not sure what all that you need to know, but back in 2004 when I bought my 7520 it was simply the best tractor available for its hp range.:D Most weight, (7350lbs) highest hydraulic output, (17gpm) highest lift capacity, (5500lbs @ hitch point) Most accessories that came std. Best price...

The Mahindra is the newest as in it is an 04 model, but the Case 1200 Traction King is our most recent acquistion.

Ok, I'll put up some pics now and try to follow up with more later on. Wife is working on helping me out with new updated Mountain View Ranch website. That will have lots of pics and comments.:D Unfortunately at this moment most of my re-sized pics are of the Mahindra. More to follow though.

Thought that I should say hello, not sure how I stumbled upon this site, but it looks like I will be glad that I did.:D Want to acknowledge that I have tractoritis and proud of it.;)
