Ready to Mow

After about three months at 70 degrees! Saturday I ran the cord out and gave the 8240 its midwinter battery charge.

Looks like a nice tractor. Why don't you put the o'l girl inside or maybe throw a tarp over her. Alot of money setting there in the bad weather. Just an opinion nothing personal.

I already done my share of snow mowing.

What's the going price for a bushel of snow?

Why would you let a nice piece of equipment like that set out in the snow.

showcrop · Feb 7, 2011

I have all available space filled with 17 pieces of equipment which includes 7 tractors. This piece has it's own roof as well as an invisible annually applied coating on the paint and the tires as well as on many bright metal parts and other rubber and plastic parts. It also gets regular coatings to all internal motor and gearbox parts as well as bearings and surfaces during it's working seasons. I really could have put it under cover but I chose to let a friend use a space so that he could do some work on a tractor this winter, I believe that this is better use of the space. I have lived all my life in snow country but am not familiar with damage caused by snow. Please advise. Who knows maybe I'll decide that it is worth paying the taxes on some more space.

Looks like a license plate- on a farm tractor in the US?
I agree, snow, especially if it stays mostly cold and dry, is not near as tough on things as rain.

Yes I register them except for two that look like one that I do register. A few years ago a lady friend nearby got ticketed for pulling a manure spreader up the road behind her Kubota. I got pulled over once and threatened with a ticket because I forgot to shut off the PTO after spreading the load. The flinger was out of sight behind the tailgate. The poor police lieutenant had to go back home and wash the cruiser again.

If a little snow really hurt a tractor 90% of them in this country wouldn't run a lick,,,,,,,,
