Interesting topic, and strikes right to the heart of why we really come here and talk about our tractors. We're not traditional tractor operators, at least most of us aren't. I'm sure not. Those guys use them all day, leave 'em outside in the rain, couldn't care less about whether to use SUDT or Walmart Special Snake Oil Supplement. Waxing a tractor?? Come on...
We're enthusiasts, not users. And as such, the "sexy" aspect has occurred to more than one of us on occasion, I'm willing to bet.
The missus hasn't mentioned it, but she does occasionally get that predatory gleam in her eye as a fence post gets pushed in under the bucket with not a sledgehammer in sight. Makes me pretty happy too, since I usually swung the hammer.
Oddly enough, a friend of ours has mentioned she finds the tractor sexy, nothing to do with me thankfully, I'm on missus #2, and any more would be entirely out of the question. Farm girl from out West, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
I think for women to find us sexy on the tractors, we'd have to be early on in the relationship. Or a very, very happily married couple with a few kinks in the closet.
Once there's been significant water under the bridge ( unexpected gas, foul breath, three days of stubble, alcohol involvement, and even something as mild as comments about backside dimensions measured in axe handles ) it takes something pretty special to stir 'em up.
I dunno about you guys, I think an
L3400 Kubota is a nice tractor, but it's not THAT kind of special.
My thoughts,

. I'm usually too preoccupied with the work at hand to notice eyes on me, but then again that's a good thing.
