I turned my back on garden tractors and went to the big boys (full size tractors)

 

 

 

 

 

Well now I am back. I sold all my big stuff and got myself 2 Sears and I am not looking back. I enjoy my small garden tractors 10000% more than the big boys. I can store them, work on them and enjoy them. I went with the ideaology that "bigger was better"  and as we all know know thats not always the case. Another good point is that I can only have room for one big tractor and have room for 4-5 Garden Tractors. I have to make sure my wife doesnt hear me say that.

Shew.. I am glad I got this off my chest. Thanks for reading.

glad you turned away from the dark side an came back

Welcome back, I'm sure you're not the only one that's done that. I play with the bigs one too, but I like the small ones more for the same reasons you made. More is better than bigger.

Only you know what is best for you, welcome back.

 

Now you've got that off your chest, don't you feel better.

 It's the simple things in life. I figured I would be more pleased having more hp and bigger machine (insert sound that tim taylor does on tool time).

 

 

Yeah, I am glad I got that off my chest.... lol.

 

it feels as though I am back to my roots and I am back where all this madness started for me.

welcome back. glad u got ur senses back

[HDWildBill]

Yep sometimes bigger isn't necessarily better.  Just depends what your situation is and sometime you situation changes from one thing and then back again.  Welcome back.

I would love to have a larger farm tractor to mess with too but having room to store one is the issue. I do enjoy the garden tractors much more and the fact you can fit more in the same space. Glad to see you made it back

I to ventured into the large tractors. They are fun, but I eventually went back to garden tractors. I still own the 1947 Ford 8n.

I have a small compact tractor and sometimes it's a lot of fun to do bigger jobs. I find it's just a lot more fun to work with the smaller machines. You can also put them on a utility trailer and tow them with a lighter vehicle than a big tractor. I'm also having trouble fitting all my stuff in the space available. I may sell the big guy and go with something smaller. That loader sure is handy though!

I like the big boys to cause of what you can do with them. But Gt's are cheaper , easier to work on and take up less space .

Well, ain't this a timely conversation!  I was just trolling Kijiji in hopes of finding a good Ford Jubilee to replace my Allis HB112. 

[KC9KAS]

Sounds like you are on the road to recovery!

Nothing wrong with having both.  Compact tractors are great for their intended purpose, the same as garden tractors.

I still have the MH81 and Dad still has a few. We are looking to thin down the bigguns some over the next few years.

Welcome back to GT ownership, having both isnt bad, it just takes more room
