Strange non-uses for a tractor.

Look at the bright side. He didn't have to come up with an explanation of how your tractor got damaged. I'm a generous soul, but darn few people get on the seat of the Kubota. Have to admit to loaning out the Ford though..............chim

Interesting! Last spring we had a couple of fairly large trees planted. The folks from the nursery, which is also a JD dealer, showed up with several laborers to do the digging. I didn't have my BX23 at the time, but I have to admit that they had the holes dug, trees planted, and holes filled in faster than I could have warmed up the engine. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

On the other hand, we just had a new concrete slab placed. The guys said they would probably dig the footings by hand, but when they showed up to do the work, they brought a Terramite T7 (Kubota D1105 engine) with them! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Each to their own, I suppose.

Chim I feel exactly the same way about my tractor. I was showing the TC-40D to a neighbor down the road the other day. Before I knew it he had crawled up in the seat. The next comment he made was he can't wait to borrow it for a couple of days. I told him when he wants to borrow it to come over to the ranch in his new Mustang convertible and leave the keys with me while he has my tractor. Now I know the NH won't be going anywhere soon. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

( if it was _me_ rolling boulders around (they were too big to lift them into the wheelbarrow) I would have thought "well yeah that tractor with the loader sounds pretty useful right about now". But no, that's not what this guy thought.)

Well after a long wether delay he's back tomorrow to finish the job. I'll be around in case he changes his mind about the loader. I'm more comfortable with the loader anyway having dug a noticable amount of snow with it in the past few weeks. We shall see....

They came over today and his masons got on his case for not having enough stone ready for them to lay. So we grabbed three full buckets of stone with the loader and made short work of that. It's actually a bit hairy driving the tractor up on my hill, but wheel weights, four wheel drive, and easy does it, did it.
