Retired Fighter Pilot

[genemcvay]

Hello, I'm a retired fighter pilot living on 3 acres in western Arkansas. I have owned John Deere's in the past but now I have a BX22 Kubota. It is as handy as a pocket on a shirt as long as I can keep it going. I think I've replaced most of the hydraulic lines on the front end loader.

I am active in veterans affairs and politics (Conservative). I am never bored with speaking engagements, hiking, travel, photography, social media and writing. I have 25,000 followers on Twitter. Once upon a time I ran for governor of Arkansas, I'm not that bored anymore.

Welcome to TBN, the BX22 is a nice little tractor, we have a BX2200 and BX2660.

The BX can outmaneuver those fighter planes, too.

Welcome aboard!
Which warbird(s) were you flying?
I am a lifelong fan of all things aviation related, ever since I build my first model (an F-101 Voodoo).

I was an Aircraft Armament Systems Specialist for about 10 years then cross trained into crypto. Might have loaded your aircraft a time or two. I worked F-4, F-16 and F15.

BTW, we all wear the same color t-shirts to match or tractors on Fridays and we also do virtual shots of weed if someone starts a roll call.

Welcome aboard this is a great site, you'll have fun here. As a kid we use to travel thru Ft Smith to visit family up in Winslow, AK. It is beautiful country. Use to work on the F-8 Crusader in the Navy.

Be safe

Retired Air Force ('66-87) flew the F4 in VietNam and beyond. A year or so ago upgraded my BX 2360 to a BX 25. great tractors for a homeowner with a little land, it is my shovel and my wheelbarrow. Every time I think that I should sell it I find another use. A very useful mod is to weld chain hooks on the front loader. Welcome and what did you fly?

Welcome Gene to TBN. I would like to personally thank you for your service to our country. We have an active Kubota area for Q&A. Nothing more enjoyable than some quality seat time on a tractor. I salute you. -robert
