My dad sold his place and didn't need a tractor anymore, so he gave it to me. Massey Ferguson 240 w 232 loader, box scraper and bush hog.  I'm pretty excited.

Well?  Does she?  



Think your tractor is sexy?

Nice. You will wonder how you did everything before without one.

I don't use my tractor every day but my loader is my favorite tool.

Consider getting a brush rake with hydraulic clamping jaws for the front if you can, those are incredibly useful.

I asked. She said because it was my dad's, that might be weird.

I'm definitely looking forward to using it.

I'll look into that.

I upgraded my tractor over the summer to one with a loader, and air conditioning.
I don't know what I did without that before.
And can't think about not having a tractor at all ever again.
I'm keeping my old open station 44hp Ford.
And my new 55hp Branson.

Growing up we had a number of tractors on the property, but none with a FEL. We did have a crawler-loader (high-lift), but it was kind of overkill for a lot of FEL tasks and tore the crap out of the ground wherever you used it.

Years later I bought a compact TLB, primarily just for the backhoe, thinking the loader wouldn't really be that useful. I ended up using that loader a lot. Upgraded to a Kubota B2650 TLB years later. I use the backhoe a lot but I use the loader probably ten times more often, especially having the SSQA and a set of forks and grapple.
Gotta enjoy the little things.

Enjoy all the things you end up doing with it.

"Hmmm, this is a silly thing to break out the tractor for right?  Naw, it's right there!"

Make sure you keep the top of the bush hog clean to keep it from rusting through.
