Bill - you are completely missing the point. A man is defined by the size of and attachments on his tractor. Same holds true out here in the desert. It DOESN'T matter whether there is a commensurate task at hand to take advantage of all the capabilities of the tractor. Tractors can be used for other things also. When we moved to AZ in '01, I used my '78 Gravely 4 wheel tractor with 8 speeds, 3 PTOs, and a twin 20 HP Kohler motor as leverage to convince the Mrs that we needed adequate property size to take advantage of all the features/capabilities of our tractor. It worked - or so she lets me believe so!
