It arrived me today.

I'm already feeling overwhelmed looking at it. I may have bit off more then I can chew with this project. I'm sure the onboard water system i was hoping for is not a viable option anymore. I've no idea where/how to do that. Also since the ladder will extend/retract, as well as pivot side to side, IDK how I'd make a hose to extend/shrink like that.

The other functions, lights, sound, fwd, rev, ladder extend/retract, ladder movement side to side, I'll have to take a look at it later this winter.

As IF I DIDN'T already have enough projects, I felt the need for another. ESPECIALLY with the insiders information I just hears about. Something bad is about to happen near the new year with the tractor industry, & the farmers won't be able to get enough machines to do their work this year. Having the inside scoop, I had to get in on the action by getting some equipment while they can be got. I hope that little twerp at the tractor manufacturing plant ISN'T pumping me full of BS about the grave situation that'll be happening. So.........................................knowing the secret insiders info, we acquired this little gem, a NewBright tractor

Also had to acquire the wagon to go with it

Hopefully we'll have enough time to get em right so that they are ready to go to work when they are needed.
