I will keep it brief and let the pictures do the talking. Needless to say I am excited. On my way home my wife called to say that the tractor was in the driveway 30 minutes early. The next 10 minutes until home i was giddy with anticipation...

When my dad left i had to see what she could do.

I lifted a tree:D

I ventured into the marshy area:eek: Maybe a little too aggresive on the first day after a week of rain. :confused: I got a little scared as the front tires disappeared. I DID NOT want to call my neighbor to bring his John Deere over to pull me out!!!

So, I used the backhoe and loader (lifted myself all over the place and finally lifter the rear with the backhoe and placed a pallet under the rear tires and logs under the front tires by lfting with the loader) to get out of this mess.:cool:

Looking good. The painted toothbar really makes the bucket look mean.

Excellent Davestator! Congratulations! I see your garage is for your BX instead of your cars too. :D

Thanks, all.

I made a (short term) deal with my wife when we moved here last year that we would not use the garage for the cars (mine or hers) but as a workshop and garage for the tractor. This was in exchange for me promising that I will hold off on building a BIGGER Garage and workshop for a while!

Dave you have to smile more when you are on the tractor! Oh, and go back out there and fill all of those holes you made getting stuck in the mud! Looking good.
