Hi all. I have been a member for about a year and thought it was finally time to relay my experience. Don,t get excited I did not have to dig my self out of a hole or anything nasty like that. You see several years ago I had a massive heart attack and according to my doctor I should have died. Well since that day I have been upset over my limitations, so last year I bought a Kubota Bx-24 as we had a pool put in and there was a mountaing of dirt that had to be moved and as time went on the dirt had to be moved a few times. The yard is now smooth and I have been able to put in numerous plants for my wife. I also removed close to 100 trees, cutting them down myself which took about everything I had. However, the BX made easy work of all the stumps (some huge). This tractor, my best friend, has allowed me to accomplish things like before my heart problem and really made me feel like a man again. Now, this may sound silly to some members, but according to my doctor 70% of men who have a heart attack become clinically depressed. I never got that, but I did get over the top mad. My tractor saved me, mentally I mean and I would suggest anyone with this type problem get a tractor, you will be glad you did. My wife no longer sees me as an invalid, but is amazed at everything I have accomplished and the list of chores I still have. I live in Lexington, SC where we do not have much snow so I can not speak of the tractor's ability to handle that particular chore, but the BX has been more than up to everything I have thrown at it. I hate to ramble, but I wanted to let everyone know of the value to me my tractor has been other than just plain fun. You could spend thousands on rehab and such, but a tractor is a lot more enjoyable. I am 58 and could talk more, but I think everyone gets my point. Let me know of similar experiences, I do enjoy reading even if I don't contribute as much as I should. Harry
