Yup, a hobby tractor!
Don't tell the IRS, but I'm not a real farmer
Or as far as their concerned, not a real good farmer. It's used for mowing trails, dragging firewood and putting in food plots. Small enough that my wife likes using it. Whenever we have a "real" tractor requirement I call my neighbor or hire it out.
As far as luck goes, I do consider myself very lucky. Managed to be a part of the 17% that actually gets to retire from the service, did some deployments and didn't get a scratch, other than hearing, bad knee and an MRE phobia. Then landed a job back with the Army writing about other people deploying.
Yeah, we have a 24 hp NH 4x4 mower too. Lol. We used a 135 ferguson growing up. I service several of those still today. Back before rolling hay we didn't have to have the big tractors we use now. Those little ones can't handle a roller. Everything else we could make do with 40hp or so.
I wouldn't mind a 35 or so with a tiny detachable back hoe for small jobs.
