I operate at slower speeds than I could be going. I'm comfortable with the machine, and it works for me. Others (son in law, friends) with more experience could do tasks quicker, but I don't care. I'm learning as I go, and I get a lot more work done, than without a tractor.

Good Monday Afternoon I'm on hold with tax people (2 hrs, back and forth), thought I'd check in. and now my phone battery quit so I got disconnected and had to call back leaving "my person" a message, that I didn't hang up :) uggh - kinda funny, both phones are out of juice anyways, have a...

That's tragic, very sad. About 5 yrs ago a friend (with significant equipment experience) had a roll-over on his rural property - with no one around, he was pinned under the tractor for 5-6 hrs in a dry ditch. He eventually was able to move his hand, reach his cell phone. As I recall, a...

took my buddy to DQ for ice cream - the brownie batter blizzard was good

Could be wonderful, or awful, depending on perspective and available prospects I guess. :)

RNG - I don't believe that there is any kind of escrow service with Market Place, and yes, my experience is mostly via Facebook for that. it's direct between seller and buyer, and there are a lot of scams, shady practises that you need to be aware of. I typically STAY LOCAL, go see what I'm...

no seat time lately, just staring at taxes and spreadsheets
