So, she arrived yesterday around 5 and so far I have put 0.6 hours on her. Little difficult working around naps. Anyway, what I have done is take cutter off, put BB on, use BB to flatten an anthill, take BB off, put mower on. That is now the sum total of my tractoring experience. From that experience, these things I now understand.

Why is Top and Tilt so cool? Why is it imperative to have large pry bar if no TnT? Why there are actually threads on doing Laundry on a tractor board? Why it is so hard to stop smiling? Why neighbors you have never met will all of a sudden be smiling and waving?

That last one cracked me up. Guy was dropping off the tractor and implements yesterday when the new neighbor came runnining down my driveway after him. When he stopped, she asked him if he would be willing to mow her yard as well. He looked at me and smiled and I said, well, I just bought it, can you let me learn where the key goes first? I had the machine four minutes and she is already throwing money at me telling me she would pay. Hadn't thought about that aspect and don't have the insurance for commercial work so if I do it it will have to be for free. Once.

In two days I have two greasy pairs of Levis. I'm a slow learner but I don't think I'll mess up a third pair. At least not for a week.

So, how many times do you guys pinch a finger? I haven't yet but that is purely dumb luck. It'll happen, I can see it in my future.

OK, nap times over here's a couple pics.

This is the money picture.

With those big beautiful eyes and that toothy smile, she had me from hello.

I seem to always have at least one finger nail with a black spot on it

A cool lookin' rig, Poppa. Welcome aboard and hope you have as much fun (er, use /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif) with it as I have.

BTW, I have found that the time it takes to change attachments (including swapping 3ph for BH, which is the diciest) goes down pretty rapidly after the first time ("learning curve"? /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif)

...it's gonna be a while before you run out of new things to do with it.

VERY nice.

Did you get the hat? How about the neighbor? Did she get one too?

Enjoy and BE safe! I expect a full report this weekend!

Nice tractor! I know what you mean about the neighbors coming out of the woodworks when they know that you have a tractor to "help" them out! /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
