LOL I did too! OOps guess this is my punishment! LOL
I wonder why it happens though? Is it just because we become more responsible (cough, splutter, choke!), or more aware of the dangers?

Yes, they are expensive and that is why I do not have one yet. And wouldn't you know it, a relative found a used one at a farm auction. He bought it for $250 dollars. Argh!

We had a Kubota with a 5' mower, then as we had 6 horses we found we didnt need it and sold it...

I've found that even with lots of horses, you still need a bushhog because the horses eat everything but the weeds and the grass in the "toilet areas" so they need to be mowed even more or the weeds will completely take over.

Aslo we used to have a lot of free-range chikens that spread the manure around, limiting the problem!

Well, I am certainly not more responsible so it must be because I am more aware of the dangers...........

I think! : )

I was 1st in line. They would have probably pushed it in the water. I was so mad though I just left it on the side of the road and never rode in it again.

You are very correct about the weeds in the toilet areas. Sometimes I run a disc over them to cut them up even more.

LOL!! Yeah, and he's gonna remind you about it every time he sees you, just so you'll be jealous. It's what relatives are for. ;o)

Oh, and if I DO happen up on a deal like that, when I get it home, it turns out to be held together with spit and baling wire.

See the difference from yesterday? She is most put out and won't even look at Sarah Lee who had nothing to do with her getting kicked.

This one needs new gears in the gear boxes. Even then the repairs will be a lot less that the cost of a new mower.

Not that many auctions anymore as the price of scrap metal went up, old farm equipment was cut up and hauled off.

Guilt by association...She's a HORSE, therefore she's the one that did the kicking. You know what they say about "close enough for horse shoes and hand grenades", well this time the horse shoes were on the horse and they were as close as Cindydawg wanted them and it didn't matter which horse either. ;o)
