My 90 Year Old Mom Driving My BX24!!!

[Deano]

My Mom is visiting for the week and I took the week off. She turned 90 years old in October. I took her everywhere I went so far this week and she has watched when I fed the horses. I cleaned the horse poop from the pasture this week and while I do that, she sits in the house and does her puzzles.

Today, I told her I was going to clean manure again. I went out in the garage and started Baby Bota and thought..."My mom could do this!" What could it hurt??

I went in and asked her if she wanted to drive the tractor and she jumped up and said..."I'll try" The rest is in the attached pictures!!!

By the way, she has not driven a car or any other vehicle in about 12 years!!

That's great! You just left off one small detail - how did she do?? No new fence repairs required??

She did great!! Once I showed her where the compost pile was and how to dump it, she went and dumped it just fine!! The second time she dumped it pretty much on her own!!

LOL and bless her heart. She looks like a natural on that thing...I can see where you get it from!

Sure will make Christmas shopping easy,just make sure to get a tree big enough to hide HER new BX24 under !

The ROPS is up, seat belt on, it's all good.
wonder if this should be added to the gear vs HST debate that is raging elsewhere??
No, better not.

That's priceless Dean. My Mom has never driven a car let alone get near a tractor.
