Hello, All
I retired from the Coast Guard to a few acres in a very green part of Virginia, next to the Yorktown Battlefield National Monument. I once owned a 1951 Ford 8N and regret selling it every day since then. I have been scouring the internet, craigslist, this forum and others for about eight months. I visited John Deere, Kubota, and Massey-Ferguson dealers multiple times and looked at a few dozen private party offers. Last Friday I found a 2005 GC2310 taken in trade-in, looked at it today and wrote the check. Has the loader and backhoe but no belly mower.
I have a half-acre of lawn, but my greater plan is to recover some of the encroaching woodland to expand my usable lot. Also, besides digging sidewalks and spreading driveway gravel by hand, I never even considered starting on my desire to have a goldfish pond out back. At 62, I am pretty tired of my shovel and wheelbarrow.
