I had a dump load of dirt dropped on my acre yard to fill some areas and make a few elevation changes. Well I never got around to moving it after a few months my wife complained and said i had to move it.
I said lets rent a tractor , went to the yard tried to rent a big kubota and my truck could not pull the thing.
Discouraged, I said out of fun lets go look at used tractors at the dealers yard and to kill the evening. Admiring equipment since i was a kid. I saw a small 18hp deere with blade.Dealer let me drive it around the yard, man I was hooked. Wife said I had the biggest smile on my face.
As we got home she said go ahead and buy it $7000. I was in shock to say the least but I didnt buy one.
We deicded it was best put whatever money we had towards land instead of instant gratification of a tractor now. We shopped and got our first plot. We bought and sold a a few plots till we found our current plot which we plan on keeping.
That $90 load of soil cost me over $100,000..To boot that pile of dirt still sits in my backyard weeds growing and all!
Whats your story?
