No, but it is priced affordably for a man of your means.

| I have a friend who will drive the D17 across the Big Mac along with his father who has a sweet little Cockshutt 20 Deluxe. This year I can shuttle tractors across the bridge and I finally get to watch the parade. Yes ,I plan on going to the Onaway pull, and If it hasn't sold before I would like to pull in Corunna at the big natpa pull in Oct. |

| What gear u gonna pull in, 2nd in trans with power director in high or .............. I have pulled in 2nd low with my 16.9 -38s but have since changed back to 16.9 -26s --thought I would run 2nd high --what you think ? |

| 2nd with the BIG STICK back, still have go easy on the throttle. 3rd low is pretty fast, 2nd hi is way too fast for our 3.5 mph speed limit on the transfer sled. For the dead weight pull I'll look at 1st hi range , see how that works. I havent pulled the stoneboat in years, it's a new game for me. |
