Todd, congrats, I'm sure you'll love the TC30.
Here is all the wisdom I can impart regarding tractors!
1) Never let your wife see you smile while you use it.
2) Always come inside after every session on the tractor, wipe the sweat off your brow, grunt in pain a little and rest a while to show that you have been working.
3) Never spill diesel fuel on your clothes and put them in the wash. You would be better off setting yourself on fire and then trying to put it out by rolling your flaming body on a fire ant hill than dealing with the wrath of a wife who's entire load of clothes smells like diesel.
4) If your wife sees a NEW implement, just say OH, WE'VE HAD THAT ALL ALONG YOU MUST NOT HAVE NOTICED IT. (this means you can't let it show up on the credit card bill, or have a new tag stuck on it when it is delivered . . . in fact some dealers will throw mud on an implement before they deliver them, those are the good dealers)
5) Remember, 4 Wheel Drive is actually code for : YOU CAN NOW GET STUCK FARTHER AWAY FROM HELP
6) If you hurt yourself, muffle the screams of pain, your wife doesn't want you to have that tractor anyway so she is looking for an excuse to get rid of it (and to call you an idiot for spending money that rightfully should have been spent on jewelry and other necessities she might enjoy).
7) This is a biggie . . . when your wife sees you smiling while you are reading TBN, tell her you are looking at pornography, at least she will understand why you look at that.
