New Workhorse

Ahhhh, yes.  Men and their toys.   Joel finally had his wish come true.....ever since we bought Whispering Oaks he has been dreaming, talking about, looking at and drooling over different sized tractors, mowers and combinations of the above.   Well, he picked out the one he really wanted and it got delivered a few days ago.   Here it is being delivered....

Yes, my husband hasn't stopped grinning from ear to ear for days now.

He can mow 60" wide with one swoop.  He can use the box dragger on the rear to level our gravel lane coming in to the farm.   He can move dirt, mulch, and whatever else he desires with the front end loader.   Oh, and horror of horrors.......it came with a huge book of accessories that you can buy to add on to the lovely orange machine.   

Here we go again with a guy explaining the thing-a-ma-jigs and whatcha-ma-call-its.   giggle......The mower drops down off the main machine for times when you just want to use the front end loader.   Joel could hardly wait for the delivery guy to leave so he could just get behind the controls and try it out for himself.

 And off he went down into the deep ravine in front of our bluffs.    That area really needed to be mowed as it hadn't been mowed since late last fall.  

And then he went back down the other side, over and over again until the low lying area under the bluffs was cut back down to size.

Now it was time to try the front end loader.   He used it to pick up the dirt that was humped up over the lawn around the smaller garden.   Yes, he got the hang of it right away.   Of course!    After all, he had driven much larger tractors around his parents camp on the Eastern Shore of Maryland.   And over much rougher terrain, too.    To him, this was a piece of cake.

I drove the Polaris over to the edge of the woods and caught up with him.   And this is how he greeted me.   Yup, he's one very happy guy.  As I drove off, I actually heard him whistling as he was mowing.   

What more is there to say, except....
