Sometimes just being under foot seems to get her to say those words I yearn to hear," Can't you find something to do? " Yes dear I can:D.
If the price of fuel keeps going up I'm going to hear more of "can we really afford you playing around all day on that thing?" So, I try and keep it full all the time, and have a 5gal. can full for back up.:D:thumbsup:

Luckily for me My GF doesn't like the cold at the cabin so I get the winter up there to myself..most of the time. With the snow up there this year I get more time on the tractor than I can handle. In the summer she likes to read and relax at the cabin while I tear my road up and fix it. It seems to work well for us.

So, are all tractor drivers PW'd? :laughing: Actually, She knows I'm going to do pretty much what I please since there are so many fast food joints around and I'm too old to care about anything but sleep when the lights go out. Even when I started talking about buying a new L3400, she tried one weak little argument and I didn't hear another word about it. The L3400 is sitting out back as we speak.

I never use the term "excuse"
- it implies guilt.

I prefer to "demonstrate a sound business plan".
Sounds more like saving money than spending it ...

You have a bright future in politics (or investment banking). :D

when I got my new l3700su I went to talk it over with my wife and she said why talk about it you will do what you want anyway so I said ok and bought the tractor. But it will cost me a large purchase somewhere down the road My new truck cost me a new leather living room set and a saturday to pick it up Randy

No excuses needed, my wife actually told me to go with a cab and she spends almost as much time on "her" 2660 as I do on our L5030 and M8540.:thumbsup:

I'm busted before I even begin. I just say I'm going out to play with the tractors. She knows. I even manage to accomplish something most of the time!

No wife, no excuses-or good business plans-required.
The GF is pretty impressed with the walking trails I have opened up through the forest on the property too. She even tried out my snowshoes on some of the trails while I was clearing snow with the tractor last time she visited. Better than sitting in the house feeling ignored while I did the 'hard work' out in the yard:D.
wives don't tend to do that..Girlfriend's will.......keep that in mind:)
