JD 350D Wife Approved

Post by CuttingEdge » Mon Mar 21, 2016 11:38 am

My wife approves of the new JD 350D

We move a lot of hay bales around with our Kubota Tractor, but two weeks ago both of us were frustrated. We put new inner tubes in the front tires, hooked onto a round bale and promptly blew a front tire out. So we proceeded to change said tire out, then as she let the bucket down and put pressure on the tire, it blew again. So we did it again. 3 times in all.

Today we got 6 inches of snow and she said, "why don't we try the bulldozer". She just HATES to drive the tractor in the snow.

So we used the crawler instead. It's a bladed unit, but we chained the bale to the blade anyway, hoisted it up and headed for the barn. We never got stuck, never blew a tire, heck never even noticed the 700 pound bale was strapped to the front of it. Twice now she has mentioned how nice it worked.

Happy Wife: Happy Life...and I am a thinking, seeing as how the bulldozer as my idea, maybe this would be an opportune moment to ask for some snuggle time.
I have no intention of traveling to my grave in a well manicured body; instead I am going to slide into heaven with a big power turn, totally wore out with busted knuckles, jump off my dozer loudly yelling, Woo Hoo, another Shepard has just arrived!

Remember to bring up her observations when you want to buy another or newer crawler in the future and she pushes back on the idea. ;)

Hi,

I blew a tire on a crawler once.

Yes, I did.

It was laying on its side, buried, and I ran right over it and Pop!

:P

You posted too late!

I told her that this dozer was just one of my two dozer plan. I needed something small to log with, (to get in between the trees) but in the areas I want to clear I need a MUCH bigger dozer (to get the stumps out).

She mumbled something about being content...
