Well, the Mrs. wants another garden, so I got some seat time on the Deere. Turned out pretty good; ended up being 40' x 100' overall. Now I need to disk it.

One of the tractors that was sent up has a small oil leak. I am going to send it back -- I don't want to bother with fixing it and the tractor is in overall 'meh' shape. Its an older BX2360 and it hasn't gotten many bites. Thankfully they will refund my money. I think I am going to stop selling tractors for a while -- seems like the market has gotten soft and everyone has bought one that wanted one for summer use.

So I ditched the UTV plan and found a good condition 48v Club Car golf cart with a carry all bed and newer batteries for very cheap -- and close to me. I picked it up and the kids love it. My lift kit and bigger tires should be here today. It is smaller and some of the kids have to ride in the back but that's fine. I like that it is slower so the kids can drive it safely.

kvr...it should be lightning bolts... ice people will have a tough time adapted to electric current i know ..but eventually.  it will like those shirts in walmart with mountains/wolfs and lightning bolt stick on skins hahaha!

 

Pork that looks like you'll be more then happy with it.  You got the dump box too which i know was important to you.  I'd like to see your upgrades b/c i have NO money to do that yet so i've been using it stock.

Yesterday was up at my farm/cabin and i brought the kart there b/c its 27 acers of hills and im determinited to not kill myself walking hills with tools in high elevation.  Well.  I was making some trails through unmowed fields and all was good until i decided to go down in to a place that I couldn't get out of.  Those stock tires sucks something feirce for any traction at all..  Allthough i guess the postivie is instead of transaxle taking stress it just slips away..but i need some rear tires like i inititally thought.   SO ...post some pics of your modifications!  It looks solid i know you'll be happy.  I've alaso taken it on the roads for a bit which is where i find that a 20 mph governer would be better then the 15 mph that its currently programed to.  Overall though Im really happy you cannot beat it for 2200.

I've also found its great for the kids ...i can fit everyone on it ...heck most of the times i cannot get anyone to sit next to me they all want to hang off of it.
