Today the farm got it's first piece of new equipment, a brand new tractor. Well, as good as brand new. It's a 2009 that the factory bought back when a dealership went out of business, only has a couple of hours on it. Close enough to new considering our other tractor is a 1957 with who knows how many hours. The most amazing thing about the tractor is it actually starts when you turn the key. No need to pull out jumper cables and a can of ether I think the first job for the new tractor will be bush hogging some of the areas that have become overgrown. The old tractor had too much horsepower for the bush hog and the pines grow fast around here. I actually made the mistake of suggesting we sell the old tractor to help offset some of the cost of the new. After all, the old tractor is supposedly rare, might get some $$ for it. I was quickly put in my place. A farm does not sell it's first tractor. Apparently it's in the handbook.
