The Thrill is Gone

[MPH]

Not gonna brag about how much fun it was, at -32 when I started, but my 725 worked hard on them frozen snow drifts for almost 2 hours, never cried a whimpper. Warmed up to -15 before I was done, love that returnning sunshine'

Hadda zoom in on that round thing on the tree

Seeings it warmed up so fine I blew the Sam MaGee trail just for fun, but didn't take the camera with. Felt good to be out in my woods.

It'll be back soon Marty. If not now then by spring.lol In the mean time, enjoy what a fine shine you have on that machine. She sure is slick looking in that snow.

By the looks of that thermometer and the lack of a cab, it makes me hurt all over! You are one tuff guy! Good to hear from you again Marty!!!

[KSever]

Glad to see you're back in the warmer air again Marty. Had a high yesterday of +48 here in SW Wisconsin, I'll send some back up your way

Marty Those are some deep snow drifts. I think I would try to find a cab though.

Marty, That machine sure can cut through those drifts. I was moving wet snow the other weekend and kept plugging up. Cold dry snow would have been nice. Hey, what is with that steering wheel? You thin guys can turn it that way.

Hi Marty Bet the babes up there go for your classic, beautiful, 725-our former Starbuck's chick magnet winner in 2002.

My wife was wondering why my carharts always wear out in that area :I Gonna have to get one of them racing butterly steering wheels like the old go karts had to clear the midsection :):D:I

The 725 looks happy to be getting the excersize. Glad it warmed up for you. (brrrrr!!)

[msiebern]

Love the 725 Marty! ^ It could be just the angle the picture is taken from, but the front tires look a lot taller than the ones on my 725. What size are they ?

[HubbardRA]

Mike, I think it is the tri-rib tires that make the wheels look bigger. I have the 3.50x8 tri-ribs on my AC716H and they look a lot bigger than the 4.80/4.00x8 knobbys that I replaced. It may be the bulging sidewalls with the narrow tread that makes them look so large. I have 3.50x6 tri-ribs on another tractor with narrow wheels. The sidewalls do not bulge (tread is as wide as tire) on those and the tires do not look any larger than the knobbys that I replaced on that one. Probably just an optical illusion.
