We had a big windstorm on May 8. Blew down lots of big trees on every fenceline on the farm. My son came over to help me clear the mess, and brought his Kabota, a nice little four wheel drive tractor, about 30 HP. He had to work the next day, and left the tractor for me to use.
To shorten a long story, I slid his tractor off in a little ditch on one of our steep hillsides. The tires are not turf tires, but they're not ag tires either. Kinda have a tread like a backhoe, and not too good for biting in the slick stuff.

I didn't say a word. I'm sure I'll need her help again someday, and there's no sense stirring the pot.
