I don’t have any pics but we got around 5-6 inches of snow here, enough to fire up the tractor, I cleared off my driveway and my elderly neighbors drive while I was at it.
Then I cleared the house across the street, the house to the left of mine and I noticed 3 houses down their drive wasn’t done either and they had a long one, I made one pass down and one pass back, took only a few mins at most with the tractor in high range on that long driveway.
Two neighbors came out and thanked me after I put the tractor up and the guy with the long drive gave me a Christmas card with a $15 gift card to chipotle inside, he said man I really appreciate it, he didn’t know what he was gonna do because his driveway was so long. My elderly lady neighbor said I had money coming my way for helping her out even know I told her not to worry about it.
I didn’t do it for money, I can care less about that, I did it because I had a tractor with a heated cab and they didn’t. My rig isn’t fancy it’s just a 6ft rear blade right now but it made a lot of families happy today.
So I guess the reason for sharing is when your out there with your rigs, don’t forget to help the less fortunate out, something that takes us a few mins might save someone else hours.
I don’t agree with people who wait for a neighbor to ask before they will help, if you see something that needs done and you can easily do it, just do it. A little random act of kindness now and again goes a long way. Maybe then neighbors won’t act so selfish all the time.
