I might learn to drive it by then, too.
I looked under the hood. Like I had any idea what I was looking at.
I looked at the steering wheel, too. Like I was ever gonna touch it.
I brought Georgia with me because she’s a tractor expert.
And she was thinking about buying one, too.
Okay, I brought her with me because I was taking her to an eye doctor appointment in Charleston yesterday.
But she enjoyed looking at the tractors. Georgia loves an outing. She climbed right on the tractor and went crazy doing doughnuts in the parking lot. Okay, not really. She’s scared of tractors. Like me. I bought one anyway. Somebody has to mow the meadow and dig a duck pond and clear brush! I bought the tractor. Do I have to do everything?
The merry woodland creatures heard about the tractor.
The scampering bunny said, “Tractor? I’ll drive the tractor!”
The deer said, “No, I will drive the tractor!”
Coco said, “Pick me! I’ll drive the tractor!”
Then the chickens got wind of it.
And this one said, “I will drive the tractor.”
“Or prepare to die!”
This is the latest one (I embedded the video).... -

So help me Hannah, we are going to be dead before we have one here. I am no help. I like the little one that is the same color as my pick-up because it is cute. That is not the answer Himself wants from me. But, they look good together in the parking lot of tractor store number four. I do not like any at tractor store number one because they are huge, and have too many levers, gauges, buttons, and pedals. Stores two and three are okay, I guess. Nothing really that makes me want to get it home. Oh, get a sunshade for your pretty new tractor. They are cute!

I wish I could have a new one. Ours has the motor out of it. It’s in the shop, who knows when we’ll get it back.
It’s old. Don’t need a key to start it. A screwdriver will do. ha ha
Can’t wait to see pictures of farm girl Suzanne up top of that shiny new tractor!

We looked and looked for a used one, but couldn’t find a decent one, so finally gave up. My cousin does have several of the tractor add-on implements, so I can borrow. All that came with this one was the front-loader thingy.

Disgusted with the search for a used tractor, I decided there was some real doubt whether (1) I could live long enough to pay for a tractor, and (2) whether I wanted to try using it on our hilltop. At least 52 is a capable farmer type – My 66 sold waterbeds for 37 years. Not a qualification for using a shiny red tractor. Need a waterbed, he’s your man. Need a pond, yell for help. Can I borrow 52??
Answer to my mowing problem? I bought a shiny new John Deere “Lawn Tractor” — it’s green like the big ones, it mows, pulls a cart, and can be fitted with a snow blade. That’s all I’ll usually need. When it’s time for a pond I’ll hire someone who has a tractor or a backhoe, and knows what to do with it.
Good luck. But I wouldn’t let the chicken drive… :mrgreen:

I think some bright tractor company should come up with a line of pink farm machines for farmer girls.

Just saying.
The tractor is lovely.
If you drive it, please have someone take pictures. I want to watch you mow a meadow and dig a duck pond. That is so cool.

way cool tractor, way cute puppy. I’m getting puppy fever, but don’t know if my only cat and 18 yr old dog would be too crazy about a young-un.

Be careful on those hills. We’ve lost several friends to tractor roll-overs–it’s tricky here, especially in wet weather, or on a hillside where a groundhog has dug holes that can tip a tractor.
We have a Massey Ferguson, 1970 model, I believe. It’s still worth the same amount as we paid for it in 1980. Tractors don’t lose value if they’re in running condition.
I never learned to drive it, on purpose. Because if I did, I’d be expected to do all sorts of things I don’t want to be my job to do. I have a very bi job already, taking care of gardens and critters and house and family and putting up food–not to mention the fulltime and part-time jobs I hold.
I leave tractoring to the guys, very contented to watch ‘em work!
