help a damsel in distress

TRACTORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That red S reminds me of a Bill Cosby joke. Superman was squeezed into a phone booth, stripping off his Clark Kent suit to expose his Superman suit. A beat cop happened by and saw him "dropping trou". He rapped on the glass and shouted "Hey, You! Get your clothes back on right now!" Superman said, "Why, it's O.K. officer, I'm Superman....see my red S?", to which the cop replied: "Yer gonna have a red S and a Black Eye, if you don't pull up those pants!"

Don't take much, when I'm tired.

My memory for trivia often gets me into trouble. I can remember the names of songs, lyrics and the groups that sang them from the 60s and 70s, lines from movies, the full address from my dorm in college, etc. but I forget birthdays. /w3tcompact/icons/blush.gif

Bunny, if I had your problem I'd go consult someone who knows something about it. I'd suggest the grounds keeper at the nearest golf course. He'll certainly know what would work and what won't.

Hey Mike

Me too. I remember all the rego numbers (Licence plate) from all 10 or so cars I own.

Silly things like dates of purchases, song lyrics etc. but then forget I have been camping with people only a few years ago.

Scary.................

63 posts and nobody recommended a Power Trac. That has to be a record.

Color doesn't really matter. If the thing is running it's the greatest tractor in the world. If it's broke, it's a POS. I'd go with the highest horsepower you can afford in the size range you're comfortable with. Hit a couple of different dealers and do some test driving. Most dealers I've checked out have a dirt pile for testing repairs and such, run one side of the tractor part way up it in such a way that it approximates the slope you're going to mow. Does it make you nervous? Try a smaller tractor on the same hill. We can all give out advice 'til the cows come home but until you have your backside on a few seats it's all going to sound like greek. Once you have a feel for what we're talking about this'll all make sense. Then you'll have a few more specific questions and we'll have some more confusing answers.

Knucklehead, you asked why large (relatively speaking) acerage owners don't get a farmer to cut it for hay?--well I have done that and regretted it every time. Why, they come in and tear the Hades out of my ground, make lot's of ruts, mowed up all my seedlings despite my stakes, tore up my road and killed much of my broam and knoccked over some of my trees. I ran each one off in turn even though they said they would fix everything they never did and even had the nerve to come back and ask to cut a second time---the answer they got was not no but Hxll NO!One guy tried to come and cut it while I was away, he got caught by my neighbor who called me.

/w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif/w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif Why, TresCrows, I've never known farmers to be anything but trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent!

O.K., thrifty. Sort of.

So I got lost in that "amber waves" moment, and wasn't exactly thinking of a 150HP Turbocharged Potato Field Special chugging up your driveway, cracking both edges with it's eight 17.9x38 Power Grips, and killing everything for four feet on both sides (where's the dog?). Sorry. The sad part is, we all would want to drive.

JR, do you feel shame for answering "bunnys" questions, like we're apparently supposed to? I don't feel the need to apologize. It's nice to see a little natural chivalry once in a while. Frankly, I would be more worried if there was a rush to reply to Liberace-boy making inquiries, wouldn't you? /w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif

Like I tell my lovely wife - I'm in touch with me female side. To which she replies....uh, I'd better not say that here /w3tcompact/icons/blush.gif.

I have to agree.

I've been wondering too if "Bunny" wasn't just someone "having a go" at us.

"She" asked in much too sweet a voice: "Fella's, which one of you has the biggest?" and then every time someone posed a question to "her" there was no real answer, just pouty lips and batting eyelashes.

"Her" last post convinced me. Reading between the lines it's almost as if "she's" saying just that.
"See I knew you guys couldn't agree on anything." - Like "she's" been around here for a while, and just wanted to prove two points: 1) We can't agree and 2) us "guys" will fall all over each other to win the favor of the "damsel in distress".

"She" ends too much like Mike suggests: "Oh fiddle de de, I'll think about it tomorrow." As if "she"s saying "I've toyed with you boys enough and now I'm tired of the game."

Would the real "Bunny" please stand up?
