Isn,t this taking present giving a little far !!!! What man in their right mind would want a women picking out a tractor for them ???? So if he helped pick out the right one, then it isn,t really much of a surprise, and I don,t see what the problem would be with getting it a day early, or a day later.. Maybe trying to impress the neighbors, but really, is this what gifts are all about ????? It,s kinda like buying the wife a new washer and dryer for Christmas. Either you need it, or you don,t. I,m not big on doning things to impress anyone else. I wonder what the real idea behind this is ????
