New Tractor!!!!

Well we did it yesterday! We bought our tractor, it's a New Holland TZ25DA with front end loader and brush hog!!!

We were pleseantly surprised when we hit the tractor dealer and told them what we wanted and the price we would pay and the salesman said "yes" right away!!!!!

Just got the call they will be here at 10:30 this morning!!! Yes we are bouncing off the walls!! We have so much planned and can hardly contain ourselves. Next purchase will be a tiller and post hole digger.

How exciting - I passed a truck with a couple of New Hollands on it yesterday and thought how nice one would look in my field! lol

Fabulous! As I write this you are no doubt cruising around the homestead grinning from ear to ear
Be sure to stick your nose in the owner's manual and read up on 1.)First oil change recommendations. and 2.) putting a wrench to every bolt that attaches loader to tractor after 15-20 hours on Hourmeter.
Enjoy

Just the link, the other post is a red x. But it's awfully tiny... hard to see

And don't feel guilty for a second using it to haul a 1/2 wheelbarrow load of twigs (or a single flower pot) in the loader, you are just saving your back.........
