    Haha. Yep. We did a “reveal” when he got up from his nap. He was pretty excited.

    Nice tractor. What year? I will be looking for a small tractor in 3-5 years. Did you buy privately?

    Spent a few minutes before supper with the boy and the grapple moving logs from one of the poison ivy patches to a bucking and splitting area. Still need some seat time but picking up better each time.

    Split a few into the tractor bucket but it doesn’t hold nearly as much as the pickup. It was handy in how close I could get it to the stacks, choose a height, and be able to stand on it as needed.

    Nice tractor! I agree with comfort and efficiency in processing. It makes handling wood much easier.

    Had some help installing the horn - who would have ever thought that was an option. Either way, makes me feel better having kids around if I need to get their attention for safety sake.

    Brad you don’t even need to bring wood, just help me put a dent what I already have to process! This is 90% of what is ready to split. Zoom in for coffee cup to scale
