I'm the High School Band Director here in our small community. On top of the 4 bands I handle, I also teach beginning acting, stage design, direct the winter musical, and teach a course in video production. I'm active in the local Lions Club as well. There were 2 reasons to buy my IH444. It took me 3 hours to mow my 1 acre with a 42' Craftsman rider and a good chunk of the growing season that was 2 to 3 times a week (when it rained), and I needed a lot of landscaping done around the property. Ok... maybe it is overkill, but I grew up on these IH utilities. The family farm was in operation until I was 14, and had the farm stayed active, I probably would have been farming it along with my Dad to this day. I keep my eye out for a chunk of property around 25 acres so that I have more room to play on, with trees, maybe a few acres of open space, etc. This old tractor has provded me with a much needed hobby this summer.
A little more money and a better place to store them, and I might have considered one of the tractor I see on the road for sale around here too - a rusted up M, restored SC, 100, SA.... I've seen a few around =)
