Sounds logical . . . at first. The only problem is that whoever we sell them to may do more damage than we will, especially if they aren't members of TBN so they can learn from others. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif )</font>
This really sounds like justification to go and buy another tractor just to keep it out of "unsafe" hands!! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

- None -yet. Until then FunBuggy (EZ-Go) will have to do!
Gee, right about now I'm not feeling so bad about NOT having my tractor yet! /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I think that Greg is thinking along the same lines as Bird's prior wisdom. Those of us with tractors are actually performing a service to humankind. We might even be the very weak links that Darwin referred to in his treatice: The Evolution of the Species when he wrote of the how the smart & strong evolve to grow the species into a stronger one over time. Our misfortune is allowing others to grow evolve for the betterment of the human race. WE OWE IT TO ALL OTHERS TO GO OUT AND BUY YET ANOTHER TRACTOR!
Garry, on the other hand, seems to delight in our plight. But I'm sure if we pour a couple adult beverages down his throat there will be a story about how SOMEONE took out Funbuggy and did all sorts of mischief??? And Garry, I'm sure if everyone with a tractor follows up on Greg's idea, you will have to wait a while longer because those of us who follow his lead will be buying up all the available tractor inventory!

No Bob, I'm not delighting in your plight.
With some of the stories the guys have posted, I'm just glad that I'm not participating in it !

Wouldn't take any beverages at all! I've refrained from contributing to this thread with some of my.....er......THE NEIGHBORS various exploits with vehicles/equipment because they're not tractors. Want to keep things in proper context, now don't we? /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

A little twist, but I believe the end result is the same…
In the cases whereby it wasn’t acts of vandals, neighbors, etc. it was not us as drivers that committed these acts, it was the equipment. We didn’t put our hands, feet or otherwise through the walls, windows, cars nor did we step on the ladders, bury the chains, and dump our equipment out of the buckets… The equipment did it.
Take lgrunge’s experience as an example. The tractor did not heed the content of the saying “Do as I mean, not as I say” when it took out the window.
Apparently, our existing tractors are not as smart or wise as they should be and it is then obvious that as tractors go, the adage of “Age and treachery will overcome youth and skill” is not true.
Therefore, it seems evident that each of us must get a new, more intelligent tractor to tutor our existing, dim-witted older tractors.
I’m off to the store to get mine!! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

What really hurts is that I was sitting in the passenger seat when she reprogrammed the overhead console in the Yukon...so I didn't have any defense except this:
About a month prior to the garage door incident she had backed the Yukon up and demolished the driver's side mirror against a concrete post...$350 for repairs, which she paid. I did not give her a hard time about it when it happened, so how could she give me one when I did something just as careless?

JDGREEN,
'Tis the difference between men and women. Bet there isn't one of us that has our wives' capacity to remember the details of something we did wrong years ago. Bet 60% of wives know their husband's social security number and less than 5% of husbands know their wive's. Our brains must be different.
By the way, my wife has no problem telling people about the garage door incident (earlier in this thread), but watch out if I tell people how she slowly backed into my car while I was walking across the yard yelling for her to stop and waving my arms. She says she thought I was just saying hello.
