Nice Jonathan! What they all said, "priceless", that pic inspires me to get one like that in a couple of weeks when the grandsons are here, thanks for sharing.

Thanks guys!!

Ryan, yeah, I think I may be breeding a new generation. They sit on them all the time, and the 3 boys are constantly asking me to let them mow, drive, whatever, the cubs. I started working with my son on it last year, but he is 7 1/2 now, and still developing coordination. He does really, really good, and listens to instructions (don't go any faster than the stop on the hydro lever). Her two boys..... lets just say, they aren't driving my tractors anytime soon. They told me I don't need to show them, they know how. Yeah.......

Lew, no I didn't take a turn in the cart. Seat didn't look comfy enough!

Paul and Bill, my dad used to ride me around too. But, living on a farm, that didn't last long. I was about my sons age when I started mowing with our cub we had!! By the time I was 9, it was basically "my" tractor. I took care of it, and used it everyday. But, we had hogs, and my dad started driving a truck. He still helped farm, but he no longer farmed for a living (grandad did, long story ) and I had to take care of the hogs while he was on the road. I used it to haul feed, supplies, and bedding (straw) around to the lots we had. Plus, I mowed our yard, my grandparents, and like 3 or 4 others. I drove that cub to get there. Farthest I had to drive to mow, about 3-3.5 miles one way. My, how the world has changed. You can't get a high school kid to mow yards for money now. They're too good for that. Let alone work period!! Oh, well....

I know I will treasure the pic, and the good times. Because I look at the pics of me as a kid, and remember. Thanks for all the kind words guys, I'm happy to share too!

Jonathan..THESE are the memories/pix that will last forever. Great to get "mud on the tires", even if only to take the children around the homestead.

Warmest Regards

Your right Jonathan, you can't get a high school kid to mow yards for money, but you can get a just finished middle school kid to mow for free and happy to do it.

Holy smokes, that's a boat (trailer) load of young.
Very nice way to spend some quality time together.
What's that stuff all over your face? Dirt?

Stuff on my face? Dirt? Oh, that's a nice black beard. Like the pirate. Surely yours was once black, wasn't it Moses?

Great pic, Jonathan. Those kids will remember that ride for many years if not the rest of their lives. Cherish these times. They'll be off on their own before you know it.

It was, a long time ago.
