I always thought that if I went out and bought a new tractor, that it was something that I should mention or discuss with my wife first. Afterall, if I did buy one she would surely notice, right? And then if she noticed I would need to explain after the fact which might not have as harmonious a conclusion as getting alignment up front. However, tonight something happened that made me question this...
I just got my new large frame 45hp CUT back from the metal shop with the new FOPs installed (my wife has seen his tractor before but not with the FOPS). I keep it in a small 24x27 foot storage barn where I also keep the 20hp small frame CUT that we've had for the past 8 years. My wife said she wanted to see the roof on the new tractor and walked back to the barn. She enters, goes to the left (new tractor was on the right) and looks strait at the small frame CUT and says "looks good! but where's the top?". She had her back turned to the new tractor which was against the opposite wall! This made me wonder. If my wife doesn't distinguish between a 20hp small fram CUT and a 45hp large frame CUT, would she notice if I just switched out tractors every once in a while (keep the same color of course, I've heard women are keen on colors)? New tractor every year! :cool2:
