Wow... good thread!
Going by the Webster's definition posted earlier, yes, I love my tractor. And my trucks. And my atv's. And a few other things... but none more than my wife and kids, in every appropriate definition.
I 'love' all things mechanical... always have... which is a good thing, as I start a new job in 2 weeks as a mechanic for an excavating company, so I will have a whole new batch aof heavy equipment to learn to love! And perhaps new stories to share here, but they seem a bit tighter on their picture-taking policy than my current/nearly former job. So I might have less 'tractor ****' to share with y'all!
