new member to "tractor ****"

[doelake]

Hey everyone!!! if your reading this because the title had the word **** on this, I'd better explain to stay out of trouble...My wife often comments that my surfing on the internet for tractor sites is my version of ****.... and that's allowable by her.... the only mistress I'm allowed to ride is my redhead (really orange) Kubota M59 TLB...and I am ok with that:thumbsup:
We own a campground in Northern Ontario that came with a Ferguson 2085 (circa 50's) and a Massey-Ferguson ID35 with loader (circa 60's). They proved to be too old and not up to the task of operating 40 acres and 100 sites. My 1st purchase was a Kubota L39 TLB that I loved but 3 years later have upgraded to the current M59 TLB with HST transmission and hydraulic thumb on the backhoe.
I love comparing and kidding with other tractor owners.....backhoes are a staple in the resort industry.... and I enjoy reading stories about equipment on websites such as this.....I'm sure to become a regular contributor

Thanks guys for the welcome notices. TEG, my wife thought she had invented the theme of "tractor ****", now she's thinking that the wives should have their own site to discuss the lament of husbands and their toys:laughing:
SUMPTER, I'm glad that the boys in blue don't hold anything against those of us that are people of colour
Once I get the snow cleared off my Kubota, I'll send some photos of my equipment, TEG

[doelake]

Thanks, it got ya reading didn't it:laughing:
There's not a better way to introduce yourself to a bunch of guys looking at a tractor site, am I right?

 

[flyingcow]

welcome.

I'm part of the blue fan club also.

I got TBYNET site and Hearth.com - Information on Gas Fireplaces, Wood Stoves, Gas Logs, Pellet Stoves, Fireplaces, Chimneys and Hearth Products that i spend a lot of time on.
hearth.com is considered wood ****, maybe boiler ****? This is turning ugly, time for me to go.

Love your reply, Flyingcow:laughing:

Welcome to the site. It's funny my wife refers to it as the same. You got to be careful those redheads will get ya every time.

MY wife calls it the same thing. There should be a support group, MHIATTP, thats "My Husband Is Addicted To Tractor ****". It meets Tuesday nights at the fire hall.

Okay, now I suspect my wife has been reviewing the 'history' function and saw the post regarding tractor ****...

Is it common for wives to think alike... that's a horrific thought... imagine, knowing we watch car **** on Spike, DIY **** on HomeGarden TV.

In fact, she chuckles when I take the Popular Mechanics into the john.

This is getting out of hand. Women just assume we are **** freaks... always controlled by... okay I'll stop.

That was fun :laughing::laughing::thumbsup:

Oh yeah, Welcome To TBN...tractor **** site extraordinaire. :thumbsup:

 

[mmurphy]

Oooops. Thought maybe I would see some pictures!!!

We call that kind of attitude 'dependence' (like on drugs, alcohol, cigarettes ...). For instance, my wife may ask me: "Are you already dependable, or you're still able to take a screwdriver and to fix something at home?"

Welcome to TBN, Anthony!
