One trick pony

OK...We all like to play on our tractors. (Even calling it work sometimes) If you were given the choice of doing ONE SINGLE chore with your tractor, what would it be? And WHY?

Mine would be plowing. I love the feeling of being in a big field, rolling over the dirt. The smell of fresh dirt. The smell of the exhaust. The sound of a hard working diesel engine. And the wonders of nature that you observe while out in the field. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Tilling in preparation for planting a food plot, for many of the same reasons you stated.

Well, I don't plow nor till but mine is along the same lines.

Moving and grading dirt. I've brought in about 350-400 dump trucks worth of dirt to fill in some "low spots" in the yard.

Anything to do with the FEL. I especially had fun helping my neighbor by digging the ground out for a pad and putting the sod in a dump truck he borrowed. I like doing things that require multi-tasking...steering with one hand, working the joystick with the other and the HST pedal with my foot.

Mowing Hay is my favorite. The smell of freshly mowed hay is great and starting into a large field and progressing across until done makes my day. As some of eluded to in other posts that is when I say "God's in His heaven and alls right with the world."

I don't get the same pleasure from finish mowing, but bush hogging/rotary cutting trips my trigger. Theres something about the sound of the big burly slow spinning chunk of metal thrashing stuff that is cool. Finish mowing is loud and buzzy and monotonous.

Oh.. anything on the 3ph that reconfigures dirt in some fashion came in second and FEL use actually comes in third for me even though it is typically the most useful of all the things I can do with the tractor.

Excavation. I have rather be reshapeing the earth than just about anything. When I have time and I don't have a need to move any dirt at my farm, I go to my In-Laws and move dirt at their place. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif
