Stopped into the dealer a couple of weeks ago looking for a set of tires. Had a look at the new ones of course. They must be hungry, he quoted me what I thought was a good price on a 2015, last years stock. Called them up a couple of days ago to check on the tires and asked for the salesman again, he dropped another $850 so I said sure. Went to pick it up today and they screwed up the paperwork and gave me a 2016 for the same price.
Raining so had to park it on the veranda, can't get it wet.

Is that a Recon?  I have a 2001, best friend has a 2012 model.  Bought it for hunting, but mostly use it for tearing through the camp these days.  Loads of fun.

They call it a TRX420 up here and a Rancher on your side of the fence. The base model.
Out in the sun before Saddie and I got it dirty today. A joy to ride, moving up 24 model years gives a much better ride, the liquid cooled engine is way quieter, being able to select 2WD makes it steer easier and an additional 120 cc and fuel injection gives it a lot more git up on go.

The UPS man showed up with a shiny new camera today. I've been saving up for a while (thank you YouTube) and finally sprung for a Sony a6000 mirrorless digital. No fancy lenses yet, but it came with a 16-50 f3.6/5.6. so that should keep me busy for a while. This thing is super small and takes amazing pics, both still and video. My YT videos will have a whole new appearance when I get back to them. Can't wait to get it to the U.P.

Sony is making the best sensors today. I believe Nikon uses them also. A mirrorless is tempting for when I don't want to haul around a big DSLR and lens but I've blown my photography budget all to hell already for this year so it ain't going to happen anytime soon.

Wasn't delivered by UPS or any other PS, I had to go and pick it up.
It "fell off the table"   in doing so it broke and bent a few things. He tried to repair some of the damaged parts after dismantling it, but decided to buy a new one and threw all the damaged bits away. 

The motor and the hydraulics work (the piston goes in and out) so I thought I would see what I can do with it.  

       

That's all there is - the rest of the bits and pieces were thrown away, it is exactly the same as the one I have so I can make up the missing parts.

Another UPS (other peoples stuff) but it wasn't delivered, had to go get it.

Figure it will make a nice little light weight welding table, had to take the forks of the tractor to lighten the load.



Guess it still belongs to Herb, Im just holding it in LONG term storage. The base is 3/4 plate the bottom it over inch and the top must be 2 inch thick. Guessing around 1400 pounds.

I don't think it is heavy enough, it will probably warp out the first time you try to fit something up on it

Nice table

Man, that's a sweet fab table.
