What I'm using now-a-days. Looks skimpy but plenty tough to handle what I'm physically able to do these days - gravel driveway and gravel parking pad maintenance, etc. and snow removal/plowing.

Ordered plain gravel and gravel mixed with dirt some time ago and the driver dumped it in the wrong place. It took awhile but the little tractor and front loader moved it all about fifty yards.

That's more my speed :thumbsup:
The only actual tractor I've ever used was my Grandpa's Ford 8N and that was 50 years ago.
 
I think I showed this before. This is our big tractor pulling the sap wagon through the mud in syrup season. I actually had to take a bit of time and spend a bit of money on it this year to fix up some things I had been putting off. New hydraulic lines, new starter, fuel filter, batteries, and some messed up wiring in the dash so the tach and fuel gauge weren't working. All running good now though! It's a 1986 German made John Deere 2355.

Not directly related, but one of my good friends is an up-and-coming archaeologist from West Virginia. He grew up in a Depression House (online they are called West Virginia Homesteads, a New Deal project) in a coal mining family. I always enjoy hearing his accent at conferences because he is not about to hide his origins just because he has a PhD

Sounds like that fella should write a book!

I know. I've been accused of being one for over 60 years. "If my neck's a little red, it's 'cause I am one".
(I don't listen to a lot of modern "country" music,

Me either. However, Bluegrass is making a HUGE comeback with some young bad-arsed talent that will blow your mind. Billy Strings, Molly Tuttle, Sierra Hull, Wyatt Ellis. Acoustic music is the new king and it's redneck approved.

This is just an old dinosaur's opinion, but I think country music left Nashville a good thirty years ago. Just because someone sings hip-hop music with a Southern accent doesn't make it country music.
I've been into outlaw country for a long time. The kind that comes out of the Texas music scene, roadhouses, etc. Like the old Reckless Kelly, & Cross Canadian Ragweed, and the newer Jason Boland, Stoney Larue, Wade Bowen, and the like.
