Who would think that a small green 4 wheel drive vehicle with a top speed slightly above walking pace, would fulfill my dreams as much as any sports car! And it's an open top so I can enjoy my "convertible".

In the last 3 months we have completely distributed the compost from a years worth of bedding and manure from 4 horses. All our trees and gardens are fed and mulched. Next, we moved the burn pile from close to the barn to out in the back field because now we have a tractor to move all that heavy stuff we need to burn. And then we rehabbed the old burn pile spot to be a garden. We filled in the huge hole in the back yard that the previous owners had tried to make into a 4 foot deep koi pond ( hint- you need a helluva liner to keep all that water in and they didn't have one). We graded the gravel driveway so there are no bumps. We drag our ring weekly.

Oh yes, Nothing says LOVE like a tractor. :yes:

& I think you should drive it over here and show me how easy it would make my life ;)

The first year I was here a friend who lives about 3mi from me did drive her big, orange Kioti over to mow my fields - took her about 45min each way.

Next year I can dip into my retirement $$ penalty-free. You can bet subcompact tractor is very high on my list of Things to Spend It On :yes:

OMG, we LOVE our front load Kubota. Dump manure into spreader behind the JD 300x, move dumptruck full of sand, stone, or sawdust, mowing pastures with tow behind, its all a SNAP! Next on the list of attachments are the bushog and auger so we can clean up and fence in the last 1/2 acre!
