Around the Farm - What If?

I did some whining about the snow last week. I was allowed. It was the most snow we received in one storm since we moved here. Himself must have had a feeling because he got a toy to help him with snow clearing - a little tractor. He had a snowblower but it was not adequate to the needs of the farm with the driveway being full of rocks; he'd go a foot and the blower would suck up a rock and he'd have to stop, get it out and start again.


So he started looking for something that would do a better job. I think he started looking first for a used compact tractor for sale but either was not having much luck or decided he wanted something shiny and new. Not that he has anything against used items; he has bought them in the past and I am sure he will buy them in the future. I, of course, no nothing about this stuff. As I regularly say, "I am aesthetics." I don't do things like "backhoe for sale" and the like. That is entirely his job. Now if he needed the color picked out....well, call me, you know?


He ended up getting a new little green and yellow tractor if you can picture what I'm talking about. This is what it looked like after he put it away after the first plowing session. 

Uh-huh. It snowed THAT much more overnight. He ended up plowing twice more during the storm. I think we ended up with around 18-20" of snow on the ground. It was a LOT of snow. Maybe with all of that snow he should have considered a used bull dozer! 


He had to move things around to do all that plowing. Some day the truck is going to be replaced - it will be too old to do its job so with it and the Freightliner that has to go we'll end up being the ones with the used trucks for sale ad! It will be good to see the truck and trailer go - they block my view of the goat pens. You know how much I love to watch their antics.
