Front End Loader technology is a very common discussion topic on this forum. New members are often asking whether a FEL is a good investment or not.
I will never forget when a very good friend (a conservative banker) and his wife came over for dinner just after I bought my tractor. When they arrived, they were late, and I was out on my tractor and my friend said" ( pointing at the FEL): "What are you going to use that for?"
The only part of my friend that I don't like is that he makes my finances his business, so I was absolutely intimidated by the question. I really didn't know exactly. So I shrugged my shoulders.
Well, it has almost been a year, 150 hours on my tractor, and I know the FEL has been a good value.
This morning, I document ------ a fraction ------ of what I used my FEL for:
Attached is a photo of me watering a small flower bed over an area that would require a very very long hose. The water comes from our pond.
