More fun than a Corvette Convertible

[ultrarunner]

Very wise indeed. My wife and I met when we were fifteen, but before we got married at the age of 21, we sat down and had a very long talk about our expectations. While love must certainly be present in a relationship, it doesn't count for much without compatibility.

My Grandfather used the term well partnered...

He would say it was like the difference between two well matched oxen and two that were not...

The well matched pair can accomplish things that one could never do where as the unmatched pair would accomplish nothing if they were always at odds.

well i wont ever worry about wanting a vette as my belly would hit the steering wheel.but buying tractors an equipment thats another story.

bigbull, my brother in law is bound and determined to get me into his Vette; not gonna happen as I would never be able to get back out.:laughing:

I actually don't care much for cars of any type, I much prefer pickups. I had some muscle cars in my youth, but have pretty much lost interest in them.

I guess I am pretty lucky as my wife now does all of the yard mowing 2+ acres. If I get behind on bush hogging, she will run the L5030 with the 6' RCR2672 while I run the M8540 with the 10'6" Woods DS1260. She can move the M8540, but won't mow with it.

She isn't afraid to get dirty and helps with the maintenance too.

She is also fairly good with a chain saw. She likes guns and deer hunting too. When we were younger we rode dirt bikes together.

1*Congrats.
Our 47th is coming up the 26th of Dec.

Took advantage of the great fall weather here in the Mo Ozarks, and got some great seat time. Started thinking - at my age (69) -
2* this is more fun than I would have had if I owned a Corvette Convertible !

2*I don't know I've had 2 convertables.
Loved them both a 1960 Chevy Impala in from 1962 to to 1965 and a new 1971 Cheval Malibu in 1971.
Woud still like to have a convertable to park in the garage with the Kubotas .

When I got my new tractor my wife adopted the Cub. She loves that thing. Everytime we go to the farm she says "I think that field needs mowed again". Wether it does or not I know this is her favorite time of the weekend. She puts on her bandana and her bibs and puts the old Cub in low and putts around that little half acre field until every blade of grass is perfect. I keep telling her -you should use the new one, it has power steering and you can get it done in half the time. She did try it but still prefers the Cub. Something about that gives me some security as I get older....

i dont have a corvette but I do have a 1968 Camaro
I have owned the camaro since 1985 but since I bought/built my 10ac farm I much prefer to work with my tracotrs than the car. As triple R said I seem to have lost interest in my muscle car. Maybe its time to part with it?

No that I think about it when I sold my last Vette, I had extra space so I bought another tractor.

I suppose that dropped your cylinder index(*) by a few points, but there should be some compensation for the type of cylinder.

Over my lifetime I've owned a ton of toys (cars, boats motorcycles) and nothing has ever given me the pleasure of my tractor. The work it does is simply a cherry on the cake.
