Really liking the new tractor. A lot more room in the cab than my Kubota. Also a lot easier to operate.
Photobucket hasn't been playing right maybe I can get some more pictures up.
I hear you plumber g, when we got ours on Christmas week, had no power for five days and had to have chains on our boots to be able to leave the house. :? Lost a bunch of trees and are still cleaning up the mess.plumber_greg":3bascs3v said:No disrespect intended, but that ain't no ice storm. That's called a skiff of nothing. LOL I do feel sorry for you guys, how do you prepare for something that never happens? Had a group of friends goin' to Florida for vacation heading into that storm, they knew how to drive in it and weren't worried, just knew that the residents didn't. gs

The biggest pain for me was I had chickens that were 7 weeks old and if a generator went down I would have lost a couple houses of birds. That was very stressful.

One you didn't mentioned: The winters here are usually a "one pair of long-underwear" winters so I want to add an item to your list, I been wearing the same pair of long-underwear all winter. The weather never gives me a break to take them off and wash them. I am starting to lose all my friends. :help:Bigfoot":27qcg7qf said:The freezing cold, and ice seems to have camped out at my place this year. We have cold snaps every winter, but not this long. One thing I've noticed is that it is terribly expensive. Especially when your not set up for it. I have lost 2 16' gates to ice, water lines, extra hay, extra electricity, untold amounts of fencing from broken limbs,gravel roads falling thru. The list goes on and on.
