4. And..........My wifes 4Runner :shocked:

ROPS:

I've learned, over and over, the trees still occasionally commit Hari Kari but the house and barn have learned their lesson. It gets really interesting with a hay spear attached though I don't think "interesting" was what my father in law said when he saw the passenger door of his newly completed restoration chevy impala. Many years ago but the memory still haunts. I move vehicles out if the barn instead of trying to maneuver around them.

Ps, it was a tph spear, backing up, car-kabob.

Done that. Haven't hit the car...yet. Have speared the garage trim and more than one tree. Now, as others have said, my tractor is an extension of me. I could be digging the dirt with my bare hands.

My wife said as much watching me maneuver, plant, then use the backhoe. She's tried it and knows how difficult/frustrating it can be. I can roll that thing around like the bucket is the tip of my finger. I can separate root from dirt and make 2 piles. Pretty cool stuff.

I have pity for every person I see using a wheelbarrow. I don't own one and haven't since I bought my tractor.

This is sounding like a CUT support group. "Hi, I'm Jim, I own a CUT and I've done $1,500 in damage to my house with my FEL..." "HELLO, Jim!!". :laughing:
