Do post pics. The 170 is a great little tractor. Had one for several years, and find it's a real treat. Enjoy. ------------- |

Nice buy! Depending on what it looked like/ran, that 45 did not sell for a bad price for the buyer. ------------- Galatians 5:22-24 "I got a pig at home in a pen and corn to feed him on, All I need is a pretty little girl to feed him when I'm gone!" |

Yup, good buy there! I know everyone likes the D17 Series IV, but the 170/175's just seem more nimble for some reason.....I love the fingertip steering! ------------- ALLIS EXPRESS! This year: |

I just want everyone to know a snow storm like this is not normal for April 24th even though in the eyes of some our southern friends we Canadians live in the land of ice and snow. A month before we were wearing shorts. The storm was the tail end of the Noreaster that came up the eastern seaboard. Brian, the sale was north of Shelbourne. ------------- Nothing is impossible if it is properly financed |

| Yes the finger tip steering is quite nice. I just put my 175 on some bush hog work. I love my d17, but that 175 is staying right here with me for a long long time, heck i hope it never leaves the family. enjoy |

Nice machine, price seems good too. Couldn't believe seeing snow on the ground. Here in Colorado where it often snows up to early June, we can't get any. Feb was pretty good but no moisture at all in March and 1.5" of rain so far in April. The miller moths are coming out with a vengeance, usually bad in early June.
