My wife and I are moving to Vermont to expand our independent lifestyle. We have lived in Connecticut where I worked full time and rehabilitated a circa 1860 historic house in my spare time. My wife Pam has been expanding her gardening skills for the last 23 years and I have provided some grunt work for her. I needed a vehicle to mow, remove snow and help till and move things around our 6 acres in Vermont. I purchased a Kubota BX25 that I am very pleased with. I have completed several projects with the backhoe and the front loader and used the mower before the snow came. I have not used the snow blower because I am not yet up there full time and I have to have someone plow for Pam who is working there. I would have bought a tractor a long time ago if I had any idea how useful and easy they are. I hope to use this community to help me use my tractor to its full potential. Bob K
