My tractor got stolen(?)

sea2summit · Mar 31, 2013

So my job moves me around fairly regularly and right now I'm overseas so I was emailing with the wife about our upcoming move. I've got a BX1860 and love the thing, wish I would have gone with the 25 because I'm sold on needing a BH but really want an excuse to get up to an L. Anyway our conversation.

Me:
"I was thinking about trading the tractor in for a bigger one when we move."

Wife:
"Just get the bigger one, you can't sell my tractor."

Me:
"okay."

Sounds stolen to me but I'm feeling okay with that

A few months ago I mentioned selling one of our BX's; wife has claimed them both so we won't be selling any of her equipment.:laughing:

This is the first time I'm actually happy to see someone lose their tractor:thumbsup:

They have the Amber Alert when kids are kidnapped. Maybe you need to issue an Orange Alert 'cause your wife is a Kubota-napper.

I am happy to see someone with a wife that likes and drives tractors. Mine is not interested in them at all, never even been in the seat of any of them. I got her to drive a riding lawnmower once for about 2 minutes and she was screaming like a hungry baby all the time (scared to death). So all the machine work is mine alone, anything I cant do by myself, I have to call on my brother in law (wife's sister's husband). Wife's sister helps her husband all the time but not driving tractors, just helps with hook ups and other observation stuff. How can two sisters be so different?Sister in law will kill and eat anything on the farm, my wife wont kill any thing - is a very picky eater, even says she is doesn't care much for chicken now that we have some and she used to eat chicken all the time.

You really didn't lose a tractor, you gained a tractor buddy.

My wife is not a tractor person. But she is capable of driving one when needed to help me out. Years ago I was scouting up old equipment off of a farm putting it in a field for an auction. I had 2 identical TO-35's, one with a boom pole, the other with a bush hog. She spent the day following me on the other tractor. I switched to the one needed as she kept the other close by for the switch. Nothing like having a wife that can help you with the guy thing.

Enjoy your wife...and buy more tractors.

My wife told me years ago she would mow the yard if bought her a riding mower. Found a barely used Snapper 26 inch five horse rider. First time out, within two minutes, she ran over a holly bush in the frount yard and told me she would never use the mower again. She never did.

Sounds to me like you need to go wife shopping.:laughing:

My wife told me to hurry up and buy a new tractor just so we could drive places and not have to stop every 5 minutes to look at them I did it for her

Dont worry, after you get the larger tractor, the wife will give you back the stolen one.

Shell steal the new one :laughing:

Congratulations on your coming blessed event.

I had been watching ebay for a couple months and one morning there was a BX at a fairly cheap price. 3 minutes left in the auction, she told me "bid!" I put in one bid at a minute 48 and won it. She just gave me a home made book akin to the popular kids books "If you give a mouse a cookie" and "If you give a moose a muffin". Mine is called "If you give a guy a tractor". The last 4 pages said "Who knows what else a guy might need?" with a picture of a front mount blade, snowblower, and cab. She apologized that all she got me was a book. I said she gave me a lot more than that. She gave me permission. :cool2:
