I've only got 5 acres. Its rough, some of it wet, and I probably should leave well enough alone. But I've got plans, big plans, plans of things I could do IF ONLY I had the right tools.
Every now and then I start looking for tlb on Ebay, craigslist, and the like. This time it got real serious with exactly what I was looking for and a really good price. Does anyone here own a tractor and regret it? I don't have large animals, I don't have large fields to mow. About the only thing I could justify it for is the 400' driveway but I've got a huge snowblower that works great for that.
Most guys my age want Harleys and convertables. I'm having a midlife tractor crisis. I've already asked the boss and she'd say yes if I'd only shut up about it. I don't have a garage for it so I'd have build one. I've got the cash but I'd probably finance it anyway, so now I've got a hunk of metal getting old under a tarp and a payment that keeps coming every month. I harvest about 2 cord/year from my own property right now while I'm cutting back/clearing it out, other than that I don't know.
I'm not looking for the same scenario as a boat: Use it a couple times and then just glad to get rid of it. How often would I really use it?
