TIAD

[BGigHarbor]

I used to be pretty active in one of the big chainsaw forums and they talk about a phenomenon of that forum that has folks end up buying more and better chainsaws from reading the forum. I have more than I'll admit here. They call it CAD or chainsaw acquisition disorder.

I've been following this forum since I started tractor/implement hunting and I already have seen which implements I am wanting has gone up in quality/price.

So I'll call it TIAD or Tractor Implement Acquisition Disorder. I've ordered the LP hydraulic scarifier BB (in spite of price) and now for a rear blade an considering the LP with that is hydraulic ready even there are triple the price of say the ETA implements which look pretty nice but no hydraulic.

And I am going to have to have a grapple, besides all the usual suspect like pallet forks, boom pole, landscape rake, disc harrow, etc. (Besides the fact I ordered a new l5460 with hydraulics front and rear.)

This is going to be an expensive forum for me to read......

No less expensive than leaving it lay in the bank for the wife to take shopping instead of you, and easier on your back to boot.

I have a confession. I am a survivor of TIAD.
The cure is a 12 step process.
After you buy your 12th tractor or attachment, you stop thinking it's a disorder.

Wow!! I wondered what that itch in my hind pocket was. TIAD - who would have thought. I'm not at my 12th of anything so I've a ways to go.

At least with chainsaws, if you mostly stick to the same color after about 12 the wife doesn't really notice the new additions.

And I learned that when my wife asked me how many chainsaws do I have now, I say I don't know. Works better.
