Hi all, I've been browsing Tractorbynet on and off for a while and decided to join with a group of people with which I identify. I'm a new member here but I'm not new to tractors. I presently have a John Deere 310SE backhoe along with a few Kubota "kids" and the necessary implements to keep the "kids" happy. I grew up on a farm where I started on tractors and have owned over 30 of various brands over the years. My wife thinks I'm nuts and probably some of my friends do too. I tell her that it's better to have them and not need them than to need them and not have them. I have been interested in the various discussions that members here have had and feel like I have enough experience to give my 2 cents worth from time to time. I also have learned from various discussions and am looking forward to more learning experiences. I'm not great at computers though, and will have a learning curve about posting pictures, etc. At any rate, greetings from the State of Montana.
