Not really. He came up with a limp and an X-ray demonstrated a cracked vertebrae. They couldn’t determine a cause and literally as we prepared to do a biopsy, that X-ray showed it healing. Then we moved. A few months into the move, he developed a more severe limp and the dr diagnosed it as the...

They’ll get slowly better. Kimble was the beagle my wife brought from Brazil. He died a week short of his 16th birthday. Parker was next and to lose him at only 5 was a kick in the balls. Our house was designed with him in mind all much as much as me! Lol. Bosch is growing into a good...

Thanks! Always appreciate the hard-earned and occasionally bloody advice!

I’m so sorry for your loss. 11 years is a good run but never long enough. We lost our Parker to cancer at 5 years old just about 2 years ago. His nephew Bosch came into our lives a few weeks later. God bless you and yours.

I‘m in east Aladamnbama just north of Lee County. I’ve probably been outside, every morning until noon almost every day except Sundays and yesterday for the last two weeks. After 27 years in AZ, the heat and humidity here is tough but I do ok. A friend that lives near Moundville reported...

Thank you. I watched it and it reinforced everything my neighbor shared with me. I’m taking it slow and easy. The tires were weighted with water and I always leave the blade bucket on. Our land is slopes from south to north but it’s a mild slope. I’m sure I could turn it over with enough...

Actualy ordered one yesterday. Luckily, the ground here is pretty wet. We’ve had rain every day this week. Today appears to be a chance of typical afternoon thunderboomers with a little puppy of a cloud formation of rain headed our way. Edit: Thank you for your service. I was USAF for four...

Thanks! I was thinking about cutting down the blade until it’s the same width as the flat bar. The flat bar‘s orientation was a little hard to see on Day 1 but, as you said, I’ll hopefully begin to recognize it. I already noticed the change in pitch of the engine as it loads up and found...

The L2501 arrived Tuesday and other than parking it in the shop, yesterday was the first day of use. I attempted to familiarize myself with the FEL after properly storing the rotary cutter and attaching the box blade. After day 1, I was a little discouraged knowing I’ll pick up the FEL...

Arrived today. Again, thanks for everyone’s input.

1. It’s quite an adjustment to go from saver to spender. I’m told that I excel in this category. Actually, our budget allows for X in discretionary and unplanned spending each month and tracks with the credit card cycle. Last month we had .4X left and we’re tracking about the same this...

My problem is I can’t get her to buy hardly anything for herself. Many men would kill for that.

I absolutely appreciate the thoughts but MrsK7 is wired differently. Her first name is Work, her middle name is For and her last name is Pay. She wants to work another 2 or 3 years. She gave up her career, family and friends to marry me & start over in the US some 20 years ago. It hasn’t...

Thanks all. I visited the local dealer yesterday and had the opportunity to drive a L2501. I didn’t see any L2502. It seemed to fit nicely without all of the extras ie arm rests, adjustable steering, etc. I’m not making a living on it so it’s not a big deal. Maybe the next one. The...

Expanded the search to used. In for a penny….. size be damned, budget still set.

We are relatively new in the area having lived out west for 25+ years and are slowly getting to know people. That’s especially important as MrsK7 looks for a job. One of the guys is a high level person in a local bank. We’ve been going to their church and yesterday, I mentioned that I was...

You’re bringing the flour, I already made the cake. Joined the said equine association eariler this week with that free first year!

That would a great decision. I’ve not absolutely nothing against zero or even 1% f there’s not substantial difference in price. Per Paull’s point, the local guys are likely financing via another source. They‘re putting the focus on the payment and not the terms.

I wasn’t going to assign any interest rate until I could determine the insurance cost but your point is well-taken. Even at the current deal rate of 0.99% and 84 months, they aren’t starting from the cash price. Cash is still king. Appreciate the advice on 60” versus 48”. Still learning...

Thats a little more than I want to spent at this point in time! Maybe for the next purchase. We’ll stop by the tractor place in the next day or two to try a few on for size.
