Need Tractor, Will Travel...

Elmer has a birthday coming up and I would love to find him a little tractor that he can use on the farm. While it will probably be next summer before we can move onto the property, there's a lot of work he could be doing there on weekends - and if you know Elmer, he'd be up there every minute if he had something to work with. As it is, there's not a night that goes by where he doesn't ask me "Do you want to go up to the property?" So, when we go, we park on the driveway and he stands there telling me all the things he wants to get done, asks me where we should put the house and barn, and gives me a big hug and tells me how excited he is about owning our dream. It's really very cute. Don't tell him I said that though...

So, I've been searching for a tractor with a bucket. Something small since it's not a lot of property. Something like this would be perfect...


because we want to do rock work including a smaller version of this...


Isn't that awesome!

I wonder if we'll end up with something more like this...


If you know of someone with a good used tractor, let me know!

Jacki reminded me that this is our 25th anniversary this year. Isn't the gift for 25 years probably farm machinery?

I was thinkin' about this here post today and I actually came up with an idear. If it's your 25th anni-ver-sar-ee, why, you ought to get that tractor in SILVER. 'Cuz 25 = silver. Yup, I think CHROME counts...
