Re: My wife claims she\'s a TractorByNet widow
My wife is a TBN widow and doesn't even know it yet. Of course since I have spent the last two weeks reading nearly every post on this site, there are a couple of other things she doesn't know. Little things like thanks to all the great posts I have read, my taste in tractors has moved through the whole rainbow of colors.
This is the year I get my tractor though, I just know it. Why just the other day we were having a discussion about the merits of me having a tractor so I asserted my position as head of household, put my foot down and it was all good. Besides killing the cat, I think I made the point that I need a tractor.
She had asked what on earth I was going to do with a tractor and I pointed over her shoulder and told her I was going to make a road to the barn over there. She looked over there and then looked in the other direction where the barn actually sits and said, "There isn't any barn over there". I told here that the new barn was something else I had been meaning to talk about with her but not to worry because I was going to improve the road to the old barn as well.
Now, there were three ways to interpret the look on her face. She might have been impressed with my reasoning although since I have never actually seen that look on her face I would have to be wary of that interpretation. She might have been amazed that I would bring up the subject about a new barn while we were arguing about a new tractor except she knows me well enough that this should not have been a surprise. Or, she might have been thinking I don't need a tractor because I have the ability to dig my self into a hole without any special equipment.
currently leaning towards a Kubota B7510HSD with a L302 FEL, boxblade (for the roads of course) and RFM. But, this sweet looking used JD 950 with 75 FEL did kind of catch my eye this afternoon
