    I wouldn't go right away. Supposed to be like -17 there tonight and not much warmer tomorrow.

    Did you get your tomahawk? I got to run over with my salesman and test run a 321 and 221 loader, it wasn't the regular trip but still got a tour of the grounds and talk to the personal there. It was really cool experience.

    That old excavator in #1 is pretty neat. Looks like a good time.

    Dayexco, I take it you have met the bear then!!:drinkup Nice facility that Case has there. You are soooooo right on the food. I don't know how the guys that work up there are not all 400 lbs!!

    I think the hospitality at Tomahawk has become world famous. That has got to be the best job at CNH bar none. The place is awesome and very informative. Where else can you run practically every piece of CASE equipment at the same place. Great opportunity.

    yeah, they said somebody had to "pet the bear"...i was given the honor...and VOILA!!! beer thirty!!!:drinkup:drinkup:drinkup in fact, if you go to the link in my first post...there is a very dark picture of the bear in one of them

    one more interesting thing i learned there........about taping turbochargers for hauling purposes...apparently none of the case machines currently in production ever have an occurance where intake and exhaust valve open at the same time. no exhaust tape needed...unless you want to keep birds, etc. out of there
