The Mrs. will not let me Bush Hog !

[brin]

I had planned to spend all day Thursday and Friday bush hogging the pastures at the farm. My wife found out it is supposed to be near 100 deg . here on Thursday and Friday and has taken my Tractor Keys...I was all psyched up for it too ! ...She tells me that I am one of those that thinks it can't happen to them...She is afraid the heat would do me in...I don't have a cab or air like some others..:confused2:

Bob,
You need to either get a new tractor with a cab or a new wife. That said the new tractor would be alot cheaper. Might want to consider trading that 3020 in while there selling for top dollar.

FWIW, I have often wondered if I would feel the same way about the 3020 and 4020 I had in the past after operating the newer tractors. I remember really liking both of these tractors but have to say the new 4520 is very nice too.

A new trator may NOT be cheaper if it causes him to have to find another wife:laughing:

You may want to run the new tractor w/cab Idea by her though. If she is caring enough to be concerned for you, maybe she'll let you get one. The worst that can happen is she'll say no way.

When I bought my next to last tractor, I was going to try to save a few bucks and go with an open station machine, but my wife persisted and I bought one with a cab; man am I glad she talked me into it

I would certainly use her "caring and concern" as "permission" to get a new tractor with cab and a/c. :thumbsup:

Let me know how it works out for you.....so I can try it out on my wife!!!

Well I can say from experience that your wifes concern is not all bad. I tried digging and chopping an old stumps roots when it was really hot and got a case of heat exhaustion/heat stroke. Seems that once you have gone down that road it doesn't take much to have you looking for shade.

Hmm, let's see: Go outside & possibly be killed by the heat, or if not, seriously injured by the lady. Or stay inside & live.

Better stay inside. :thumbsup:

I guess it is all about the age thing. Don't know yours. I use to work in 100 degree weather and do fine. Didn't like it but you did what you had to do to pay the bills. Now close to 60 with the doctors and wife telling me that I am not in my 20's anymore and never will be again I have to pay more attention to conditions. If your wife if like mine she may know more about what is right for you than you do. That can be a good thing when testosterone exceeds reality.
