teaching wife to operate 2305

[AKfish]

So far the biggest issue is fine control on the fel. She does way too big of motion on the joystick.

I made her mount-dismount the mower deck. I figure I will do it most of the time, but I want her to know how. She is the reason for the carrier I built for the mower deck. I could lug the mower into the 4520s bucket, but she had a real hard time.

I remember - how awkward I was using the FEL (Farmhand) to feed hay to the cows on my great-uncle's IH506! Scary...

And every tractor is different. The FEL on the 2305 is gonna be night/day from your 4520 (as she noticed).

But she's goin' for it!!!

My wife thinks my tractor is my mistress, and she thinks i'm having an online chat with my mistress right now. I don't think the 2 should meet.

This weekend I bought her a ranch rifle (ruger mini 14). Two questions came from the orientation session: 1, Does Deere sell a scabbard for the 2305 to hold it? 2, Don't they sell ammo in bigger packages than these dinky 20 shot boxes?

Oh my, what have I done?!!

You'll have to get the rifle scabbard Deere makes for the gator to put on the tractor for her - oh heck you might as well just buy a gator with all the options.

Just so y'know...I talked my wife into taking the motorcycle safety class and getting her endorsement, so she could ride my Harley in case of a medical emergency far from home. Last month she bought her own Harley.
Make room for another tractor!

Here is my wife cutting a pasture.

Recently, I had some work to do in the woods so I showed my sister how to drive my L118 to mow the lawn. My mom thought it was funny that I was on the tractor and she was on the lawn mower. Now I just need to start my Simplicity tractor and I can teach her to drive it. She told me that my Yanmar was "too slow" for her. I guess she can stick with the Lawn mower for now.

My wife loves mowing with the 2210, can't get her to quit to make supper! Changing attachments is a bit too much for her, some women don't seem to know the concept of leverage and without strength in the arms and pulling levers at odd angles it just doesn't work.
