Grandson Loves BX

When My grandson came for BBQ he fell in love with the BX22. I told him when he can reach all the peddles I will teach him safe tractor operation...

I don't think I can fool him with one of those tractors. He wants the real deal. I'll have to let him drive in an open field so he doesn't wipe out grandma's garden...

This reminds me of when I was 9 and my cousin was 6.

We worked for my uncle on the farm and drove the 8N, 9N, NAA, Fergusson 30 and the International 340 Utility.

Man talk about HOT work...nothing quite like cherry harvest in July.

Whenever we couldn't reach the pedals, we just stood up. Most of the time the problem was pushing in the clutch on the 340. Talk about heavy!

P.S. I'm not trying to advocate putting someone on a piece of equipment before they are ready (physical or mental). This is just what I grew up with...nothing more.
