Was out working with dad clearing brush. He was on his MF and I have my Kubota.

Here is one of the small trees we dug up and pushed out of the way.

We had to get the small tree out of the way so we could get back to the next area to mow. There were a few trees we dug up back in that area also.

Part of the area we were mowing. I had a bucket full of debris moving out of the way.

It was a fun day with dad. Next weekend, we are planning on doing some tree trimming to open up some of the pathways.

Refreshing that you are able to work with your Dad. So many can't now and many wouldn't even if they could. Kudos!

It is a blessing to get to work with dad. Short version, for the last 7 years dad took care of my mom who was bedridden because of a stroke and also took care of his mother who was suffering for dementia. Over the last two years they both passed away. Now dad is able to enjoy life (not that he didn't enjoy taking care of mom and grandma, but that is different). So, we are trying to take advantage of every weekend we can get and enjoy life. We went to the NRA convention together and now working on the farm getting it cleaned up after years of neglect.

So, it has been a blessing for both of us and we have lots of work head of us.

Yes sir. I'm lucky to have a dad, who is 73, that still is very active and able to enjoy life.

I keep telling my dad to call me and I'll come help him with anything at all, but he sneaks out and does it himself. Last week, I was mowing my fields and heard that he lost the wheel off the back of his cutter while mowing his field. Looks like we'll have some welding to do. He turns 86 tomorrow (June 9th).

That is a sharp looking Massey too. He must really care for it. I assume it is a later production model as it looks like the radiator cap is below the hood. And his is the first 275 I have ever seen still with the alternator shield on it.
