I did get to use it pretty steady for about a year. It was the worksavingest unit he ever bought. I learned to love that thing, because whatever the project was, it was getting done. The only question was whether I was going to do it running an idiot-stick or the tractor. Hydraulics and diesel beats muscle any day.



Look at it this way:
My old man was too cheap even for a tractor for himself.
