The day has come. It was December 29th 2013. I worked late the night before getting everything ready. I was going to take it to my parents house for a final shake down run to make sure everything worked as intended.
Sitting at the door ready to go.
Ready to get off the trailer.
I ran it at my parents house because they have more land. I live in suburbia. I wanted to run it pretty hard, move some dirt, do some zero turns etc all before I painted it.
It worked very well in my opinion. It didn't dig dirt but I expected that. First, the ground was frozen and second it doesn't weigh that much. But that's not why I built it.
I couldn't have been more excited at that point. It took a little over 2 years to get to this point. Now it was ready for paint.......except.....
