Tractor reality
When we first moved to the farm we had fantasies of owning our own
mini-tractor. Once we did the math and figured out just how many times
we would really need such a piece of equipment we scaled down the dream
to a golf cart.
I've discovered it's far more efficient to hire out what little tractor
work we need. Today we got 6 tons of crushed cinder blocks for 40 bucks
delivered. The same guy is half way through scooping it up and
spreading it around to troubled spots on our driveway for an equally
reasonable fee.
It sure beats filling up 5 gallon buckets and spreading it around the
old fashioned way.
