Driving up to get the newspaper.

Alright. I guess I changed my mind. For me it must be taking the antique tractor and meeting a few friends on their tractors at the local restaurant for lunch and a drive around the township.

I enjoy digging up the black dirt near the creek and bringing it up to amend the garden. There is something about the smell of fresh, organic-rich dirt mixed with a whiff of diesel fumes. And you get to see the result of your work.

But just driving the tractor through the woods on a nice day to get to another job is wonderful too. It's like being on a ATV on steroids.

95% of my work is tractor related, so I'm on the tractor all day, almost everyday, Monday through Friday.

Each day (about three o'clock) I start getting tired of "seat time"...then I snap back into reality and can't believe that I do this for a living!

It's ALL good!

Re: What's the MOST FUN Thing to Do on YOUR Tractor?

The amazement I get at how easily I can do big tasks with my tractor that I used to do either by hand or with much smaller tools or just generally in a much more time consuming way ... like lifting heavy stuff, bush hogging overgrown areas, moving large quantities of dirt quickly, pushing trees over, and popping root balls up out of the ground.

I guess if I had to narrow it down to one, though, it would be using the tractor to effortlessly lift something heavy like a tree, to where when I put it down & maybe try to roll it by hand or something, I really realize how heavy it really is, that I can't even budge it by hand, & that the tractor made it seem like nothing.

Although Brushhogging is often sweaty and dusty I enjoy seeing a big piece of ground after it has been tamed.

Thats actually pretty funny because I am recovering from an operation on my leg from the military, and about the only way I can get around is my tractor. I get yelled at by my wife, and my physical therapist, but I drive it around every day. I drove it across the street to the neighbors house to say hello, and he is a very nice old guy, 89, but he told my wife on me, so I got yelled at for that too. I can't drive my car or truck yet because the walking boot they have me in is to big, and my foot is way too swollen for a shoe, or a regular bot, so I basically do everything on it. I go from a wheelchair, to crutches, to the tractor. I can't wait to walk somewhat normal again...

Pretty boring video, but I have been very bored, so..
