Theft protection for the D2...

Someone e-mailed this picture to me a while back (and I forget who).

This was taken at Rough & Tumble.

Would you dare try and steal that D2 and take a chance of getting your ankles gnawed by that vicious looking Dachshund ?!?!?!

Of course not, Bill! That's why Reggie is ther! GWH

Bill are you sure your not setting up a Dog----Cat pull there between the two? Any bets who will win?

Is Reggie standing up or on his belly?

SJ my money is on REGGIE I've seen lots of DOG teams pulling but no CAT teams. Although I have a MANX that is about as big as Reggie, haven't hiched him up YET.

D.K. in S.K.

If you keep a dog tied to the Cat you will find your tracks rust a lot faster!!

I'll tell you what? If you see "Reggie" Pulling your D2 down the road.
That would be one dog I would not want to mess with!!!

hi bill, as we all know you are d2 with blade specialist, and now i am able of buying one, so my question: how rare is the d2 with blade?? how many were made? what price compare to one without blade?? thanks, marco

Marco,
I could only guess at those questions - as I don't have any factual information.

You Wrote 1:

Answer:
My guess is that half of them had blades - judging by the ones I've seen.

You Wrote 2:
how many were made?
Answer:
Someone help me out here... 12,000 + / -

You Wrote 3:
what price compare to one without blade??
Answer:
The overall condition determines the price more than anything.
So, you could have an inexpensive unit WITH a blade (in poor condition) or an expensive unit WITHOUT a blade (in good condition).

It all depends...

Bill,

In the UK less than 10% of the D2's have blades, as most of the tractors were imported for agricultural use as base tractors.
Most colectors want to own a D2 with a blade in the UK, so that they can play in the dirt.
I would imagine that this will be the same in Holland, as you said, condition is everything regarding the price.
