    Last weekend my wife and I were driving down a local county road when we passed by a tractor with a for sale sign.

    My wife said "Turn around and let's look at that tractor. "

    I said "Why?

    "We need it."

    "No we don't. "

    "Yes. It'll make everything easier. Think of all the things we could use it for. Clearing by the barn, cutting the back field, hauling wood. You deserve it!"

    I can't argue with logic like that. Turns out she was right....again. 20231105_121919.jpg

    You guys must be like us, I'm the saver, she's the spender (but not out of control like) I added on to my shop last year...she said I should just build a new one...she was probably right, but I should have done it about 10-15 years ago!

    Heck yeah man. My wife is the saver and I usually am also. I'll spend when it makes sense ( ported saws not included in this). Mine tells me I should buy a 3/4 or 1 ton when she sees the loads I put on my half ton. Dad said I'm just like my grandpa, pile it on till it falls off then put a few more on. Lol

    Thats great. it is a game changer.

    I looked and looked for years for a used one at a decent price before I got mine.
    My wife finally tells me "quit your bitchin" and just go out and buy a new one . and asks " why do you want someone else's possible headache from an unknown past".

    No complaints here.

    Very nice tractor. She's a keeper, for sure. My wife doesn't mind me spending on something we need, she traded the opportunity for a diamond ring in for a 30 ton splitter in 2018...

    Thanks, we really like it. It's been some years since we had an ATV.
