At my Happiest!

I'll put this in the Massey section because I breathe Massey,but it could go anywhere on TBN so everyone 's welcome to comment.
Any way Im at my Happiest (not counting my wife and childern) when Im on my tractor as Im sure most of you are too. I only have 45 acres so it doesnt always seem like a job.
Even when I was using the ragged out 340 Utility International that I always had to work on before and after using I still solved many problems out there bush hogging , mowing hay, moving slats in or out of the chicken house, Yes time on the tractor is good.
On my new tractor that I got last fathers day things are even better. Its funny how we invent things to do just to get seat time.
It makes me wonder what if we could get the world leaders on tractor's what problems they might could solve while riding around cuttin some grass.
Just some thoughts please share. /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

Re: At my Happiest!

I know what you mean bud. Though I'm only 24 I do the same thing often plus there is no better way to get a tan. This past week my MF-135 has been in the shop for a repair too time consuming in the summer for dad and I and I miss it. It's been decent weather lately and I got mowing to do plus I have about four acres of ground to prepare for clover this fall that I couldn't get to this spring or last fall.
Many a problem have been solved on the seat of that tractor. My Grandpa bought it in 1968 and farmed with it, my dad used it when he farmed for light work and it's soon to be mine on a quarter of the farm my grandpa slaved on. That tracor has had to put up with the job of solving our problems for three generations now, I hope someday I have a son and the tractor gets to endure a fourth generation, if not then it has to endure my nephew.
