What to get the wife?

[DustyRusty]

Suggestions are needed for what to get the wife for her birthday. I already bought her the cemetery plot, headstone, and casket, all of which she refuses to use. I am running out of ideas.

That ship sailed a very long time ago, many many decades ago!

new iron and ironing board ?
new vacuum cleaner ?
one way plane ticket 1/2 way round the world ?
single passage on a very long cruise ?

Like a gift certificate to her favorite hair salon and a new gold necklace with a tiny kubota tractor pendant.
Your welcome

Surely you can come up with a tractor implement that would benefit her in some way, right?

I convinced my wife a LONG time ago, No Birthday gifts, No Christmas gifts, No anniversary gifts... Yea, I'm a "catch"!!!

If we want or need anything, we just get it... there is NO stress buying anything. I did buy her a cattle guard, (so she didn't have to get out to open the gate ), a chainsaw that she could start (so I didn't have to start mine for her!!!), and the finishing mower was a gift to her!!! That was so I can finish mowing faster to spend my extra time with her (allowing her to fetch me a beer!!!) I was really thoughtful back in the day.

We are still together and anytime we buy something for ourselves, we "pin" it as a gift to the other...

My wife traded in her Grasshopper with 610 hours on a new one for her birthday! Absolutely no reason except she wanted to. Same engine, same deck. Oh, it has some mild fender flares, LED headlights and front wheels on the deck are 2" taller. Told her she just as well do what she wants or someone else will spend it how they want, and they didn't earn it!!

Homer Simpson got his wife a bowling ball.

WHEN IN DOUBT, A NEW CHAINSAW IS THOUGHTFUL.

Mushrooms. The (NON) poisonous type.

I actually bought my wife a chainsaw for our anniversary. That is what she wanted, tried to talk her into some jewelry or something else, she said no, she wanted her own chainsaw.

A 60' ( or greater ) motor yacht,...... in the Bahamas.

Actually my wife wants a chainsaw as well. So it's not as uncommon as we might think.

What started it was she wanted me to teach her how to use one of the big ones we have. Husqvarna 445, and 455 rancher.

She picked it up and the realized she wanted something easier for her to handle. I hadn't even started to show her how to safely start it.

She has decided she wants one of the battery operated ones so she can limb and cut down saplings.

Hmm.. There is a common thread here. Maybe the wives have some painful future plans for you all ...
I don't have to worry about those things

We have 6 acres of mature oaks, saplings, and briers we are trying to tame. Currently my wife has to wait for me to fire up the saw to take the smaller stuff down that is too big for the brush hog.

I have the M18. I wouldn't take it logging, but It's great for all the little jobs.

Years ago I figured out that if wifey wanted something…to figure out a tool that must be bought to implement/make it. On anniversaries she has gotten a tablesaw, planner, pick up truck and yeppers…a tractor. All about the approach OP…and balls helps too.

I got a new truck for my wife.
I think it was a pretty good trade.

The battery operated ones are great, ..... for smaller jobs.
Approaching 84, my Stihl gas saw is just too much for me now.
