Hi from the Olympic Peninsula

[Socref]

I am a SFLO on the north end of the Olympic Peninsula. We have 72.5 acres of which ~60 acres are timber (predominately Douglas Fir and Hemlock). The remainder is the house site, open field, vegetable garden and apple and plum orchards. For 22 years the property had a weekend getaway status. I retired from civil engineering in 2009 and my wife retired from school administration in 2014. We had a new house built in 2013/14 and moved here permanently in June of 2014. For 22 years we survived with a Sears 20 hp garden tractor, 8 hp Troybilt tiller, 17 hp DR All-Terrrain Field and Brush mower and a lawnmower. Various projects over the past year made me realize that we needed more. With Kubota offering $0 down, 0% and 60 months to pay I decided they were practically giving them away. So about a month ago we purchased a BX25D and now I don't know how I lived without it before.

Welcome to the site! Congrats on the "new" place and the new tractor. You sound like many others, including myself -- Not sure how I lived so many years without a tractor.

Welcome to the forum and congrats on the new BX25D!

It's hard to imagine life without a tractor, isn't it?

Small Forest Landowner. But that works too though it does have a backhoe.

Welcome from the other peninsula. There are a number of us down here in Kitsap. My BX 25 is almost 5 years old now and never regretted getting it. I either saved a lot of rental fees or got a lot done that would not have been done. We have 20 AC of regrowing forest plus the homestand. Make sure your forest is in a set aside program for that use. I went from $3K property taxes on the land to $115 by doing that. Not sure what your county has along those lines.
