New Mower

The Smith family has a new tractor! We decided it was a good idea to just bite the bullet and get a new tractor. We were having so many troubles with the old one; like the belts constantly falling off, one of the three blades not even working, extremely high noise level of the mower, and just one headache after another with the dang thing - it was nickel-and-diming us to death; and it was just frustrating. Our field grass had grown so tall and dense that it took a few mowings to get it to look good. Now it looks great and we can actually hang out over there, which we hadn't done yet this year. We even took the goats over to browse (with great difficulty because of their skittish nature), and Asa has been able to go fishing. The grass was literally taller than him. Once the grass began to grow, it was out of control in no time. John is very happy with his new tractor and is finding all kinds of things and places to mow.
