What Have I Done?

[car compulsive]

My wife put in some overtime this week, so she came home early today - shortly after I had finished mowing. Since my back has been bothering me, I asked her to help me rake the windrows of shredded leaves and load them in the trailer behind the BX. My wife HATES yard work, so I put the BX in low range and let her drive. Despite feeling a bit unsure on the side slopes (she tipped over a Hustler when mowing in the Navy), she soon asked how to make the tractor go faster. I pretended not to hear. When I drove the tractor across the steeper hill and backed and dumped the trailer, I noticed she was watching intently from the deck. Tonight she thanked me for her Sweetest Day present of driving the tractor. Oops, I may have to give her a full lesson on using the tractor - and lose exclusive use of the BX.

You my friend have pulled the cork from the bottle, and allowed the Jeanie to escape. Though played right it might be a good thing

The BX. The one thing I won't let my wife on. She has asked several times to let her drive it.

I say let the whole family enjoy the orange!

My whole family drives mine but only when I'm there! [emoji12]

Brother, you've done it now Pretty soon your gonna have to sneak out into the garage at night in order to get a chance to use your tractor

Came back from vacation today with a loader stuffed into the bed of the truck for my tractor. Wife has already made comments about it. Pretty soon, I'll be able to get a load of gravel delivered and my wife will go out and take care of it. I'll be stuck sitting on the deck with a cold one wondering when I'll get a chance to use my tractor

.....and lose exclusive use of the BX.

Yup the BX used to be yours

My wife uses my Mx-5100 all the time. I am gone a lot and she has to use it to get trees off the driveway.

I see His and Her’s Kubota’s in your future. Play your cards right, and you could have a new tractor.

Like BAP said, don't be so selfish. Just get another machine with some different features so you can get MORE work done. Perfect reason, and you have support/reasons from the other half!

Different but related. Last evening as we were enjoying a lovely dinner herself suggested that I should get a new tractor. Huh, wuzzat, as I reached for my iPad to check the Kabota site.

Questions followed. I have a three-year-old 2370 in perfect condition set up exactly as I like it with a custom cab and only 200 hours. I really can’t think of anything better and of course I was perplexed by her unexpected suggestion. It appears she thinks the 2370 is too large for our property requiring the occasional operation from the wrong end of a manual shovel.

She has a point but I don’t see anything that is more appropriate to our needs.

hummm that is a perplexing problem,,, You have a snow blower ,does she like shoveling snow? Unless she wants a BH and that would take care of the manual back hoe thing. SO you might just need a 2680,,just sayin unless you have a postage stamp property

BAP and D2Cat both said what I was thinking......great opportunity!!
