Saying goodbye to my tractor

[kongs3510]

Well, as much as I hate this, it has come time to say goodbye to my 3510.... It has been a great tractor and not caused me a minute of trouble and has done everything that I have asked of it....the sad fact is that my MS has progressed enough that it has become hard for me to climb up and down and change implements like I would like.... my health has forced me to use the tractor basically to mow the 5 acre old horse pasture, and that's about it.... so I went out and bought a new commercial ZTR mower and my Branson will be going to its new owner Monday morning.....sad news indeed.....thanks for listening to me cry about this....

I wish I was smart enough to adjust what I do. I agree you did the right thing even though it really hurts on many levels.:thumbsup:

Sorry to hear that. It is always sad to see your tractor go.

Very saddened to hear of your worsening health... my prayers are with you!

I'm hoping when the day comes that I can longer safely get up and down and around my tractor - I'll be able to still hang onto it - and leave it to my son (no daughter's).

(Then, I'll be able to exercise my vocal chords...)

Very sorry to hear of your health problems. I'm sure that you are making the right decision even though it pains to do so. The new owner should be greatful, they got a great tractor. Good luck and God bless.

Hate to hear about your issues and selling your tractor but you made a smart choice. Not smart to take a change and get yourself or someone else hurt. I only wish more drivers thought this way.

I should also say if you need any help with tractor duties give me a PM. I am just in Daleville, only 15 miles away. I have all the goodies like a FEL, BH, Post Hole Digger, 2 Bottom Plow, Disc, ect.

Sad news indeed. But it sounds like you're not giving up; just adapting to the circumstances and moving on.

Good on you, and more power to you.
