Introduction

[Bandit1047]

Hi guys, I became a member in January and though I have posted several threads I have never formally introduced myself, so here goes. I turn 61 in a month and I have been retired for 3 years. My bride of 23 years (today is our 23rd anniversary) and I sold our small manufacturing company in 2005. We manufactured Special guide systems for can dies and we where blessed with great customers and great employees! In 2000 I purchased 155 acres of woods, a 5 acre lake, and a 1 acre pond in N.E. ohio. I fell in love for the second time; with this land. I started purchasing equipment to tame the land. I own a case 888 track hoe, ( it has a tilting cab) a LB75 New Holland backhoe loader w/extend-a-hoe, a John Deere 4600 tractor w/ 3pt. & backhoe and a New Mustang 2109 skid steer w/ air and Hi-Flow. I have a bucket, root grapple, and a Davco hot saw feller buncher for the Mustang. I plan on building a brush mulcher, or purchasing one if my efforts fail. Engineering things is a challange I really enjoy, that is why I am trying to build this mulcher. I also have a love of writing, as you can tell by the length of some of my threads. I really enjoy this forum and all the information that you guys have to offer. Joe

Hey Joe, thanks for your participation in the forum! I have a large plot of land as well, but I'm guessing that I could use some more equipment! Hmm.. I'll have my wife read this thread!

The wife and I have a great arraingment. She doesn't care how many toys I buy as long as something approximately the same size and weight goes, when the new one shows up. Also, I am not allowed to dip into principle, I can only spend my yearly pension allowance. If I blow my allowance on toys, then No vacation or cruises. I had to have an auction to pay for the Mustang, I sometimes miss the Harley.
