Decisions, decisions.

I have an opportunity to purchase a 45hp tractor at a very reasonable price. The tractor itself is not necessarily the bargain, the implements actually are.

It comes with the following implements:

  • 6 foot Front End Loader
  • Back Hoe
  • Scraper Blade
  • 6′ Bush Hog
  • 6′ Cultivator

Downsides:

  • 2 Wheel Drive
  • Needs New Seat
  • Have to figure out the battery is not charging*
  • It is not in the prettiest condition but it is not trashed either
  • Needs new Steering Wheel
* Both the battery and the alternator have been checked out and are working. The problem seems to be the cables.
We are taking a road trip to Elizabeth, LA on Saturday to check it out.

It is owned currently by a co-worker of Cheryl’s.

I was not looking to get a new tractor right now but I can sure use that front end loader and backhoe on the land.

Cadence Got a New Pool for Her Birthday

Ryan and Christina bought Cadence a 15′ round above ground pool for her birthday. Wouldn’t it be a smart idea to use the tractor and box blade to prepare the ground (remove grass, level, etc)? Maybe not. It worked great other than me getting rambunctious and digging so deep that I ripped the sewer pipe right out of the ground. Luckily it wasn’t too hard to repair. It only took about 1 1/2 hours and the store is 7 miles away. Could have been a lot worst.

Cadence makes 6 Years Old

Our little girl turned six this month. The day of her party had a 70% chance of rain and it held true. That didn’t stop the diehards from jumping into Aunt Jenny’s pool. Personally, I think they are nuts for going in when I was chilly standing on the sideline.
