My wife doesn't get it, but you will! PICS

Looking good! Let her play on it! She'll get it after that!!
I came home from work one day that my wife was off and she had my tractor digging with the back hoe!!!

As far as needing to make the accessories your wife's idea. It reminds me of the guy who was working two jobs so his wife could stay home. The guy was actually using a walking stick while he pushed a mop as a night janitor. He told me it didn't hurt to have a little bit of money coming in that the wife didn't know about.

Congrats... and good luck. It's been 2 plus years with my BX and the wife sat on it once just to pose for a picture. I can't get her to use it. But I don't have a mower deck. Maybe you can convince her to trying mowing the lawn (if it's level) and she might get a kick out of that?

That was more than my wife did. She was a good worker on the farm, but had no interest in power tools such as mowers, tractors, string trimmers & such. She did use the DR string trimmer with electric start a couple of times, but never got on the tractor.

So, my plan is to try to get my wife on the machine and let her see just how awesome it is so it will be HER idea to order bucket hooks, lights, etc. Any advice?

Looks good! Don't have any advice regarding the wife, I gave up on that one long ago....

Congrats, Mate.

Also, its NOT a 'pretend tractor'... especially here at TBN. It's a TRACTOR. And I reckon your neighbours will be queuing up asking for help with their own projects too

I had to override the wife's veto to get my JD 3032e, it's been 6 months and she still she is still angry aboutit. This grudge could last for a while. It has been a back saver and allowed me to do things not only faster, but at all. Best purchase ever! No tractor is a pretend tractor. Great machinery , just accept that your wife may never understand.
If you get the cold shoulder like I get, use it to chill your beer.

Ha ha... good one! I might have to post this in the 'your favorite quotes and sayings' thread! :laughing:

Congrats on the tractor! My wife used to be more skeptical about us "needing" a tractor. But after having 2 different ones over the past 10 years I don't think she could imagine us NOT having a tractor now. While she still doesn't use it - she sure does appreciate all the things it can do!
