I feel truely blessed with my wife of 45 years!!---how many wives love to operate a tractor, willing to learn how to operate a backhoe, loves the smell of diesel fumes and still be feminine at the age of 64????
She liked the looks of a Kubota compact tractor and stated that we could make good use of one, so we bought a B2320 with front loader and she would get up at daylight and use the tractor for a landscaping jobs she was doing.
Nothing pleases me more then to see her enjoying working with equipment.
She is also very careful and I have tried to teach her the safe operation of such equipment.
She laughed and said "If I only carry a couple of shovels full of dirt or rocks, it is better then a wheelbarrow and a lot more fun" !!
 
I too am blessed!Twice.When I married her and when she was at death's doorstep-and survived!We will celebrate 26 years this Jan.4

Same here,but she's not much of a tractor driver. She's not afraid to put on her boots and work cattle though. Cooks like a professional chef and treats me way better than I ever deserve. Likes going the same places and doing the same things that I do. Life just flat out wouldn't be worth living without her.
 
I know you are blessed , send some pictures of the wife using the tractors ,we would love to see them , Merry Christmas to you and your wife and family
 
You are lucky.
If I asked my wife to grade the driveway with the tractor she would tell me to go f--- myself.
So....I guess I wont have to worry about her running it off the driveway into the ditch.
 
My wife was a town girl, but she took to country and farm living like a duck to water. I figure any girl that can drive a John Deere D on an IH #45 haybaler pulling a wagon made on 1932 Chevy axles and keep the whole mess in one piece is pretty darn special! And she has been for 47 years.
 
My wife is kind of unusual. She's only 44 but her dad did things the "hard" way right up til his end this year. He milked by hand well into the 1990's, still used a dump rake, I seen him use a wooden wheeled grain drill. Not because he likes old stuff, but because he was stubborn and cheap. My wife can milk by hand, has watched and helped butcher, and all aspects of farming. My wife of 22 years tried to like my old tractor hobby as much as she could, but never really took to it. She won't drive one, ever, and since kids, my hobby is almost gone. She finally admitted that she tried to help her dad on the farm but he screamed and berated her so for driving the tractor wrong that she wants nothing to do with them. So, I spend my time here and with my wife and kids, but seldom at a show or in the shop.
 
Iam also blessed wife is 70 dose more work then most 20 yrolds we just bought a rinho she loves it cleans horse stall most days. I couldnt have found a better loving wife
 

When the kids were still at home and in 4H my wife was very active in all of the farm work and would frequently ted the hay during the day while I had to be out working my real job. She has always said though, that the best present that I ever got her was the baler with thrower, so that I could do the baling and wagon loading myself, freeing here from baling.
 
Delta Red I kow ust how you feel. When my wife and I wee married som 61yrs ago we did curtom baling eith a Case hand weap baler and she could really push the bales through it later she could drive a pickup with a goose neck flat bed through city trafffic with a load of steel. She beat a blood clot, Breast Cancer, and has a battle going with NPH.One great women I just joined her in a nursing home. gitrib
