Yeah, I thought the engine noise would really frighten her. Diesels aren't exactly "quiet" LOL. When I started it she kinda looked at it weird, when I pulled it out of the garage my wife brought her to me, she reached out and didn't care one bit about the engine racket. She was going for a ride with Papa and it's all that mattered. When my wife tried to take her back she did not want to leave. I like to train them young LOL. When my oldest girl was only a couple years old all she wanted was to ride with daddy on tractor and go to tractor pulls. My youngest? (this baby's mom) wanted nothing to do with any of it.
Yeah, I sometimes see people with tiny tots like this holding them while mowing. Not smart. Used to have a next door neighbor doing that with their little boy. And mowing on the steep culverts. I would just cringe. Used to have an EMT friend who described the carnage he'd find when parent lost their grip on those little tykes while mowing. I never took (or will take) my kids or my grandkids out on a machine running blades or implements of any kind. Hell, I won't even allow them in the yard when the deck is running. I have a hole in my back garage where this Kubota picked up a small hunk of stick from the tree. And it was barely over an idle at the time it happened. A kid? Fuggedabout it. It would have gone right through like a bullet
He was having a good ol time with poppa
you ought to hear my wife when I throw my 7 year old son the keys to her car and have him move it
Well... considering the grandson I was referring to is 18 months old, we'll relegate him to his EV Silverado (cherry red) for nowyou ought to hear my wife when I throw my 7 year old son the keys to her car and have him move it
He’s no stranger to running stuff tho. He mows the grass with zero turn, drives the kubota (gear drive) efficient with the loader and backhoe, drives the super duty around the property.
my daughter is on the same route… View attachment 82918

Just playing in his sandbox
He'll have to grow into Pappas toys Although he is fascinated with tractors, mowers, and such. Kubota has gotta come out with a line of kids toys. All we are finding is green backhoes and tractors for kids. 
may end up having to get him a green one and give it a paint job and new logos 
you ever work down this way? Got a dozer I’d give ya for him. (It’s yellow not orange thoWell... considering the grandson I was referring to is 18 months old, we'll relegate him to his EV Silverado (cherry red) for now

We saw one of those as well. He's fascinated with them all.you ever work down this way? Got a dozer I’d give ya for him. (It’s yellow not orange tho
When I was a kid, my dad hit a clothes hanger with the lawn mower,threw it thru the outside layer of our Luan shop door.
Had similar. Would drive the tractor 6 miles or so over to where dad was brushhogging. He would follow in the truck.
Maybe we need to keep kids/grandkids locked up in a padded room to keep them from harm...for sure we shouldn't be allowing them to ride in cars..................
