Tractor
Kioti DK 5810 HST
We have made a deal with a neighbour for grazing his cattle on the back 20 acres at our place we use the front 20 for our horses and hay cutting wasn't an option due to fallen timber damaging his equipment, anyway he has offered to give us 20 round bales for grazing his cattle.
Now, I got our 58hp tractor about 18 months ago and was feeling pleased about how I was handling it then comes the first 6 round bales on his huge Deere, about 350hp that was loaded and driven by his 15yo daughter, I am shattered.

They own a couple of thousand acres around here and are nice people, us lesser beings have 10-100 acres, but it is their life and livelihood, it is a good community and everyone watches everyones property, I was challenged when I came in back in August with a new car, I parked and went into my workshop and heard this voice boom behind me a little later demanding to know what I was doing, he was apologetic when he saw it was me, it cost me a beer and we had a laugh after I thanked him.

His big tractor is probably easier to drive than your new Kioti. Just won't go where yours does.

Sounds like me and my property. I have 80 acres. Just a mere pimple on society around here. I have one neighbor to the north and one to the south. They are both cattle ranchers and own thousands and thousands of acres.
