Mith-
Don't forget about your mowing deck experiment. You told us that you did that for fun also. How are things on that side of the pond? Give my regards to Magaret T!

Mith,
( I clear land, the destruction is refreshing )
YES, it is!!!
While I've no need to verify, I'd love to view the pics just the same.
Your sunsets occur before I have "status." Gee I love that term, thanks for introducing me to it. Because once one has status, the prohibitionists, AKA the Mrs, can't squawk too loudly.

I'd been away from the farm for ~ 20 months (business). Had two years worth of brambles (and other nuisances) to cut. They were head tall while on the tractor. While brush hogging I kicked up a FINE 8 pt buck, who ran about 20 yrds, then ducked under the brush, and then crawled on his belly that far again. I'd never seen this before! Didn't travel very far at all, just sneaky, watching me the whole time. What a treat.

Highbeam,
I'm with ya. I check on pastures that haven't been fenced in years. I take the slow cruise, almost at a walking pace. It's almost like watching a movie of my property. Way cool!

SCB,
You dawg, I know just what you mean.
I dream of being able to cycle every 15 seconds.
Plus, leaving shallow graves around the property tends to keep the Mrs. in line. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

"PLAY"..... I LOVE that word! It even sounds fun. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

The closest building to my home is a Hooters Restaraunt. My #1 "tractor play time" is to hook up a manure spreader, and go driving down the lane, and pass the window so that all their customers can see me. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

The look on their faces is priceless! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I've gotta put mine on a trailer and drive 75 miles to play. I do have over a decade or two of brambles and deadfall to plow through, the previous owner never did anything, so I have a lot of therapy ahead of me.

Oh woo woo, some of us have it so rough.
Well if you can't pick up chicks on a JD w/ a manure spreader, I just don't know what this world is coming to.

RedRocker,
75 miles to play? Me thinks play started at mile 1.
Be careful with those brambles, if your thearpy is like mine...it'll involve donating a pint or two. Thank God for Carhartts.

And if my wife was to see a Hooters Girl on that tractor with me, well, I'd be living IN that manure spreader, post haste....
