Sounds like a very good price. I would talk to them about getting the 5' kub mid deck for maybe few more $ mine was 18.5 K with deck high amp alt 2 rear wheel weight extra blades/belt and delivery on bx23 in sept of 05 steel/fuel prices went up.

Just my $.02

I don't have filled tires but seems to me have the valve stems up in the air to check/fill. Read that tires should only be filled about 75% with fluid.

I was going to shoot some screws thru 2bys into ribs to hold rock on. the loader/bh to slide rock onto hood maybe some stakes to hold hood in place. Didn't say it would be easy but when I was in 8th grade friend wanted a ROCK for his garden. Found 1 about 1.5' across and 2' long. first day 3 of us got it out of crick onto 3' bank. Next day got it moved about 100' to railroad right of way. Friend called rail agent about cost to move rock still remember his comment "a single rock?" He must of thought a joke but 13 yr old kids are resourcefull. Got wagon loaded rock broke wagon fixed wagon and drug it 1/4mile along tracks. friend uncle said if we got it to bottom of hill he would bring brick/masonary company truck and haul. He lied, so with 2 pulling and 1 keeping 4X4 behind wheel as brake got it up 150' 25 deg slope and 1/2 mile to house where it still was 5-10 yrs ago. Remember this was 1968ish.Took most of a week so figure with hyd tractor a mere 2X2X3 rock is piece of cake! Time will tell. never heard of a stone boat B4.
