Beautiful! Glad you have such a wonderful homestead; happy to know you're making such progress cleaning it up, and getting so much joy and satisfaction doing it.
grass was up over the front tires in most areas. With the amount of rain we've been getting I haven't been able to get out there and get it done. Ended up finishing it with the headlights last night. Supposed to have rain the rest of the week into next week. Will probably be a couple weeks before it dries out enough to get it again 
My Exmark ZTR is down so it's either a weed eater or the bushhog. Happy haying!
Wife wouldn't have an issue. She likes florida. I don't think your sandy yard would hold up to my rice paddy tires though.Daren, can you come over and clip my yard?
I used to have to bush hog the lower half of the back yard in the spring. Too soggy for a mower. Tractor and finish mower handled it pretty well. Have some light ruts I'll have to fill in when it dries out some
I'm almost in Georgia, in what we call the Red Hills area. Red clay. You can go 15 miles south and be in the flat woods with nothing but sand! Good you've got a tractor for backup. I try to be careful, but usually leave a few ruts when turning with the bushhog.Wife wouldn't have an issue. She likes florida.

got rid of the cubcadet this spring. Darn thing would nickel and dime ya to death. Cost me $20 every time I hit the lawn with the mower. Tractor costs $8 to do the yard and does it in half the time, and a nicer job just need to get some turf tires for it, and swap back to the rice paddy tires when I have some dirt work to do. One of these days I'll talk the missus into a newer tractor
Sound like a plan! Maybe a new car for the missus and a new tractor for you?Tractor is the primary
Take us some pics of your new one.I debated on trade vs. selling outright. The dealer gave me a trade in price that made it not worth the hassle of selling it!Welcome and congrats on the tractor! I had to wait a couple of weeks when I got my last tractor........seemed like forever! Haven't sold my old one yet, but will have to......she's not too happy about it....
I'll definitely post "reveal" pics when it gets delivered!It's ok.....more pics!
..........the tractor!!!! Not my wife I'm not that foolish 
Uh, you might want to put a new riser tube back on where you have that rain cap/flap or you might end up with exhaust right in your face... <cough><cough>Gave the old girl a new muzzle today
...
Gonna pick up a can of flat black bbq paint this weekend when I get the paint for the box blade

I was gonna try it first. Old riser nailed me in the face with the rain cap on
was actually considering turning it forward with a down spout), but I like it so far!!
If your rain cap is working well, they are the best, no water in the exhaust and easy to use. Just put a new riser on it and you'll be fine.I was gonna try it first. Old riser nailed me in the face with the rain cap on
I only know speaking from experience... this old girl has her stack as just a slip fit over the exhaust port:
