I think you won't see the 1st new tiller in service for a good 2 or more months
if not longer. the first rig always take a long time to get in service. seagrave nj doesn't even have it yet. let say it showed up tomorrow, we do our inspection and work, then it goes to the city and they do their thing, then it will come back to seagrave nj for the final repairs. it takes months, before it will go inservice

& Hopefully the shops test to make sure the equipment fits on the rig before it goes to the company

TA Bar was added starting with E-69's (Late 2023) rig and every rig after that. Only 2 left on the batch of orders to be delivered to the shops before 2008's-10's are fully replaced from frontline service rigs.
The 2010 Seagraves will not all be replaced. 231 still has a 2010.

There aren’t companies still riding around in front line rigs from 2010?
Yes, they may be classified as 2010 but a handful of the final rigs of that batch of 2010's did not enter service until mid to late 2011. Engine 222's 2010 was on display at FDIC in March, 2011, part of the final batch of final pumpers for that group.

231's current rig a 2010 Seagrave, SP10028, was on display at the NJ State Convention in Wildwood in September 2011. It didn't enter service until the end of October 2011.

The engine is at the NJ shop
Yes received it at the very end of the year. From what I was told either a hold up on warranty parts/issues or priority over other pieces pieces such as the TL/New Sticks. This could be incorrect though not 100% certain.
