I am very excited to be getting our new tractor. The mower has about bit the dust since it's really too small to take care of our yard and we need something bigger. I think Mike went a little overboard on what he picked out but I won't complain since it will probably mow the yard in half the time without the belt breaking, breaking down, choking on grass etc. Plus I can have a garden THIS year and wasn't planning on that. :o)
