The journey begins - purchased a truck.

Lol, I tell my wife I'm not the only one all the time. I keep the pigpole on the Oliver 1550, MF 150 takes care of the Plowing, box blade, brush hog. Case VAI carries the Carry-All. And Case 444 with front mount snow blower.

 

Old Man, was that you in the TA in OK city today? I was going to say hi but I got involved in a phone convo and heard your truck start up and leave. I was in the blue FLD on your right. Maybe next time. Rob
