I'm actually getting quite anxious to drop the right two wheels in a furrow. Might scuff up the paint on those two rims, not too worried about it though. I built it to use.:)

 A lovely piece of machinery.

Well done sir.

Great to see it'll be a worker.

You can always buy more paint.

Dan—GREAT JOB :party:!  

 

I can’t wait to take some video footage of that thing turning soil!  I can’t wait to hear how it sounds lugging the Punisher through the soil!  I can’t wait (if you’ll let me) to get some seat time on this gorgeous “gear slammer”! 

 

I guess i just cant wait...

 

post a before and after picture please...

Can I just say here once again—“I REALLY ENJOY PLOWING!”?  Dan’s creation not only looks amazing—It plows really well.  Soil conditions weren’t great and we were up against some rain moving in but we still had a great time.  Thanks Dan for the seat time!  Dan gave me an opportunity to drive it last fall at Jim’s in its original state.  We were having charging issues and I made it about 10 Feet before it ran out of battery!  So, I was excited when Dan handed me the reins today and said take it for a couple of laps.  The video doesn’t do the exhaust justice.  It really has a cool sound and the fit and finish makes it feel like a brand new machine.  Dan had the plow preadjusted and I don’t think he even turned the handle after making a round.  The hydraulic lift handle is in a very convenient spot and the only thing that was stretch for me was the stirrups.  However, Dan has longer legs than mine and it suits him just perfect.  

 

This tractor is a 10 and once again proves that :wh:‘s when properly setup make fine plow mules!  Even though we didn’t get much time to talk, I always enjoy hanging with my local circle buddies.  

 

Great friends—and great times!
