I'm here you can start the party. :)

I'm not new to tractors, but I am looking to get another tractor in the next few days and I was looking for some information and ended up here. I decided it had been a while since I'd blabbed about my Kubota, so I should join the forum and find out what others were doing. It would also give me the chance to find out about the Satoh I'm planning on getting. Yes, like me it's an antique, 1970s vintage, not quite as old as me. Well my Kubota is a B8200D from the 80s and it runs every time I turn the key.

I live in the beautiful Communist workers paradise of Vermont. I live on a little 2 acre headache too close to people I don't have much use for because the are always looking for a way to give me grief. I leave them alone but that's not enough. I'm sure some of you moved to your current location for the same reason. If not you were lucky enough to have lived where you are your whole life.

The first tractor I ever used was a 1946 - 47 Farmall Cub that my father bought from his former employer after he retired. I still think about getting that tractor. I don't think I can't find that one, but maybe one exactly like it. I was a little upset with my father when I found out he sold it. That was a long time ago. Probably about the time my Kubota was being shipped to Vermont.

OK, so I have oil and steel chips in my veins with fire and electricity for a heart. Maybe I like things that go fast and things that are old, and slow. Is there any better way to look at life if you don't live in a paradise?

Hope to see your work and fun times as we go down the road.

Just call me Al.

Thanks Mike,

I didn't think about my ancient past, but we might have shared the same ground at one time or another. Veteran USAF 1983 - 1990. I'll have to look for those pictures. I think I have them on an SD card somewhere. I haven't taken any lately, but I was thinking about doing a Vlog about the tractor I hope to pick up this weekend. If the weather allows. Check over on the Mitsubishi Satoh area to see what's up.

Welcome to tbn

We had a little place on Lake St. Catherine in Vermont for a few years. Too small to retire to. Later retired to here in central Va after moving to Singapore and then Baton Rouge.

Have had an old 12 hp Gravely, then a JD 4010, JD 1025R and now a JD 2025R, which is basically a 4010 on steroids and a couple goodies the 4010 didn't have. The 1025R was a piece of junk.

Looked at a B2301 before going with the 2025R.

Thanks for your service. Where were you stationed?

I was stationed at K.I. Sawyer AFB in Northern Michigan, retrained at Lowery AFB in Colorado, and ended up at Mtn Home AFB in Idaho. I kept asking for North East assignments and got posted farther and farther West.

Thanks to everyone for the welcome. I'm sure You'll stumble across me from time to time.
