Lawn tractor

We were waiting until we had enough money to buy a real tractor, but we were looking at needing at the very least $5,000 for a used, 1950s tractor without attachments. (There are lots of 1950s tractors around here.) A new small tractor was going to be about $10,000. So we sucked it up and bought a riding mower. Not just any riding mower... a 22hp, twin engine, 48in John Deere. This sucker has some power. It also came with a attachment cart for free (Lowes was running a special). We can also buy a snow blower or snow blade attachment.



In other news, this is the Cornish X Rocks last week. The rest of them are going to get processed next Saturday. They're monsters.



And lastly, a picture of a happy dog.

  1. Got a question for ya! How can a Gnome be helpful when they are taking a nap? I guess maybe they needed a nap after helping. Nice set of wheels Rog - you'll just be zipping across that lawn now. Great shot of Dia! Chelsea is gonna have to teach you how to use that camera so she can get in the picture too! (Smile). You guys have a great one - really enjoy watching things develop - let us know how all that organic stuff works on them beetles!

    Love ya!

  3. One of those 2 looks like they've consumed a few beers, and yes indeed, both look very happy.
