Short Game
Veteran Member
Hi, name's Bob. I'm up here in sunny SW Washington. I have been spying on this site for several months, ever since my Cub Cadet committed suicide. I thought I'd killed it, but I was wrong. I'll be asking about that issue when I've got time to work on it again.
I discovered this forum while looking around for used tractors and see there is a fine bunch of people here. After my previous life on some other forums, I am not sure this is the same internet I'm used to. You guys are great. I see everyone trying to be helpful and friendly. It gives one hope (something I'd been trying to kick).
Anyhoo, almost three weeks ago, I got me a new 2010 LS 4010. It was a matter of survival for one who is tractor addicted. I couldn't go back to the days, BT (before tractor). My first one was free (inherited). That's a pusher for you. The man who left me the Cub Cadet was a very generous man, a great friend, and a wonderful employer. He was always there to help his neighbors with it if they were in need. I honored that tradition and now, so many people depend on me and the machine that I had no choice but to replace it somehow.
I also became implement poor and had to get my menagerie of gizmos back under power (when I got the CC, it had only the loader and a box scraper with a 12,000 pound Warn winch on it). When time allows, I will have to go over all of what the PTO does for me.
I live on my neighbor's 36 acres, house sitting a small cabin, and own an adjoining 9 acres. My neighbors have a beautiful B&B and the grounds include fields and forest on which we have, at present, 24 holes of top quality disc golf course (hence, the Short Game handle). I maintain the fields, as well as annually fill my own, and three of my neighbors' woodsheds.
Looking outside, I see the rain has let up.
Laters,
Bob
