the golden rules ?

I bought her her own! 

Our first Cub Cadet was purchased largely because the yellow & cream colors matched the lovely Mrs_Bob's summer outfits and she does most of the mowing chores at the house. She now has a Ventrac 3000 to call her own and I get complaints that it mows too fast because she is done too soon. I can't really hear the complaints over the sound of the diesel engine so I just rev the engine up as I drive my tractors /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Even with her own toys, I still follow the golden rules!

And there is always the special rule that whatever shows up when she is out of town is MINE, not ours, MINE /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

If you're operating your tractor drunk, bring lots of beer in case you get stuck in a swamp and have to walk home. That's what the FEL is for. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

( I have only one, Never, ever teach your Wife, Mother, or any Daughter to drive the tractor unless you are in a position to purchase another )

This advise has come much too late...... I have however become very proficient at hooking up the logging chains to the felled lumber, raking the cast offs, and tending the fire....

( Golden rules?

First, from the beginning make sure the wife/girl friend understand that hooking up an implement is a two person job, and that SOMEONE has to be on the gound doing it while YOU are in the tractor seat, for safety reasons.

Second, when you come in from doing work, be sure to thank your wife/girl friend for having dinner and a cold beer on the dining table awaiting you...

Third, never go near the washing machine. Just drop you dirty clothes on the floor near by. The woman should know how to deal with them properly...

Fourth, make sure the woman understands that tractor implements are for their benifit, and make the homestead, and therefore them too, look better for all time....

Fifth, show appreciation for the woman whose place is in the kitchen and offer her a chair outside once in a while, so she can watch and appreciate you hard work on the tractor, which you only do for her benifit, at great cost to yourself, as far as physical effort goes...

Sixth, be sure to thank her time after time for the effort she makes to keep your tractor and implements clean and polished, and give her free reign to choose whatever cleaning supplies and wax she my feel is best for the cleaning chores...promise a spot in the garage some day for her car...

There are more, but these are the basics... /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

My definition of the "Golden Rule" is a little different.
"The one with the Gold makes all the rules"
Around here that would be wifey!

Buy some Lexol leather cleaner for when you spill diesel on some swead(sp?) shoes or shirt. It takes it right out.

Yep, you're a rookie. What he meant was the FEL was for carrying the BEER! John

I don't think this fits in too well with the safety thread.
