Hi!! I am new to the forums and probally a little different than most of you all. I am a 15 year old boy and I love tractors. I have a love for equitment that I have been told you don't find in most people. Anything with a bucket on it I love. I own a Case Skidsteer 1845C that my dad has given to me and now I am buying my own tractor. It was just delivered. A Kubota B2910. It has a lot of uses for me. I plan on doing some work with it to pay for it. I just wanted to say hi and that I hope just because I am a teen that you won't treat me any different. I LOVE EQUITMENT!! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

I guess a teen is ok, but I dunno about folks from Virginia on the forum.... /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

(just KIDDING!)

Sure sounds like quite a setup!

Do you do work in my neighborhood?

Welcome to TBN, look forward to seeing great advice from your way....

TractorTeen,

Welcome to the forums! Age is not a factor here at TBN. You just gotta love tractors and 'quipment!

You own a skid steer and a tractor??? Wow!!! When I was 15 all I owned a bicycle and a learner's permit to drive a car! You sure seem mighty focused for a 15 year old!

You aren't at all different - you're just a lot younger /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif.

I loved tractors when I was 15, too, but the best I got back then was working with my grandparent's. Still love 'em, just got a little older somehow (but I'm probably not any more mature /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif).

Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to TBN.

I understand how you feel - I first drove my granddaddy's Cub when I was 7 or 8. I've been hooked ever since (I'm 42 now...)

You sound entreprenuerial. A motivated 15-year-old could make some SERIOUS $, which I am constantly telling my 14&15-year-old girls.

Welcome to TBN! I have sound SO much useful information here.

BTW I am in Virginia, too (Clifton in Fairfax County)

I can still picture Lake Front Royal, when I saw it while trudging up the Appalachian Trail. Heaven is very close to earth there...

I think you are a lot like the rest of us, only thing is you are just starting out. When I was 15 my dad had an old Farmall C. I realy liked that tractor. Also I used to do mowing with an old JD110 mower, and had an old Bready built Homelite garden tractor that I did yard work with. I had a lot of fun with those, but soon cars. and girls pushed tractors to the back burner, and did not get fired back up till I got my land 3 years ago.
