Yeah, all our friends have either boats, cottages, or snowmobiles that they use for recreation, I told the wife that this tractor would be our "Boat" , and she agreed. :cool2:

I'm sure glad to see that I'm not the only sick ones on here! I thought it was 'just me'. I had an old 1960 Fordson-Dexta up on my weekend place that got some use about once a month. Most of the time I'd just spend the weekend trying to get it to run or fix flats and dead batteries. I finally just gave it away to an old gentleman friend that wanted something to restore.
So - rewarded myself to by a little Kubota L3400 with a FEL. hmmm - well, it was useless other than just driving around my permanent home yard of 3/4 acres which brought me to buying attachments.
My list of attachments began growing from box blade, forks, tiller, post hole diggers, land rakes, back scrape blade, disc harrow, boom pole and making mods such as top-and-tilt. Where does it stop and why all the attachments? Perhaps I need more land?
Well - I did take care of that problem - sold my urban home and bought a little place out the country. Now I have room and cause to justify all of those attachments
ooppps - Now it's obvious that I "need" a backhoe and a grapple. Surely a quick attach would be somewhat mandatory, but heck - wouldn't just having a second tractor be better? Certainly!!!
And yes, if one has a tractor then one also "needs" a nice welding machine. So now I have a nice Miller 211MVP to use "just in case" I break something. I mean, how else would one make some of the mods that guys like Waxman and others on here make? hmmm - do I see a lathe and a milling machine looming in the distance? (We all know that the knowledge and skill level required just isn't here, but it gives us a good excuse for not making them anyway.)
This sickness is terminal. The only cure is to either run out of money or die. It reminds me of my race car days. There's always something bigger, better, faster, stronger, etc. out there or coming on the market next month. And how does one overcome all of this? They DON'T - and who would want to anyway?
