Time to load up the tractor and help a friend level off his back yard!

Nice tractor you bought for junior. Now you gotta go out and get one for yourself.

You don't know how right you are!
That's okay, I'm glad the kids are enjoying it as much as I am.

Nice rig but I think I would chain the tractor down differently for hauling in CO and NM. I added tie down points to the front of my 4520 that would work with your tractor. This allows you to have a straight pull on the chain from the side pockets on the trailer to the tractor frame.

Thank you for that, Jenkins! That would be a safer way to go.
Nice suitcase weights! Are your tires ballasted as well?

I should not say this , but I will . Make **** sure that young man does not get behind you while working . I ran over a grandson while grading with a skidsteer for a pool . Broke an ankle , that was it . I had previously lectured parents , my wife on the rules . 5 minutes into the project he decides to sneak around behind me . I was not happy with the previously mentioned people .

Thank you, Kevin. Very good advice and I'm very thankful that things weren't worse for you and your grandson!

The truth is, I prefer to be on the ground holding the shovel while the kid is on the tractor. This is for two reasons: One is for safety. I can see everything and control the situation better. For example, "Hold on a minute, the ground here looks pretty soft."

The other reason is if I'm the one on the ground running a shovel, it will keep me from getting too fat!
