Mowing 2 years to get the wife on the B2650...

My wife will run our bx but she is intimidated by the b series. Baby steps. Before you know it she will steal your tractor!

My wife loves to hunt, fish, snowmachine, snowshoe, hike, 4-wheel and photograph wildlife and scenery. She has her own weapons, chainsaw and woodchipper. I just cannot get her on the tractor. Can't get her on the snowblower or in the snowplow either. Says those are "manly-man toys". Go figure.

My wife likes to run my L3830HST. She was raised on a farm and had to run her dad’s WD45 and D17 so no wonder she likes the HST Kubota!

My wife runs my B3350 bush hog way more than I do. She mows our 6 acre all the time and hopped on the first day we got it. She mowed the air for a few yards before getting the 3 point down low enough (which was hilarious). After that she has been a pro for the past 4 years. She didn't grow up on a farm, but spent time on her uncles.

I won't join in the social media comments, its well-known that its become a cesspool of hatred, trolling, and losers. Real human beings just try to survive any interactions there.

I didn't have much trouble getting the lady friend to drive our JD 6200 tractor with clutch. Admirable, since she drives an automatic.

Then some years back, going up a hill in winter, it was at a slight angle, on account of the sloped roadway and ditch. It was perfectly, SAFE but she was freaking out, going on about it "TIPPING OVER" and I have not managed to get her to drive a Tractor since!

We all have our "pucker threshold". My wifes is much much lower than mine. Things I think are perfectly safe she is greatly worried about. Hard to get her on the tractor in anything less than nearly flat ground. Part of it she mentions is sitting up "so high". She wants to be snugged down between the fenders. It is all psychological. Many parts of the yard she won't mow on the little JD lawn mower. "just too scary". I am sure mine is lower than some of you. It is all relative.

I hate watching someone "FREAK OUT". They loose all focus and objectivity. Like she just wants "OFF" regardless of throttle or gear selector position. Scary!

On the other hand, people that have more confidence than skill, ability or experiance, also scare me.

Good for her :thumbsup: some more seat time your bride might mow it all with out asking.

yes, there needs to be a happy medium between "freaked out", and "darn fool".
