Cost of the Toy

Hi Guys!

Let’s face it. It is just a toy and that’s all it is.

I moved up here in the hills because I like being in the trees. Now, no one ever told me that when it snows, you must use a multiplier of 8 as compared to the flat land when it comes to snowfall amounts.

Okay, so I think, “Well, I’ll just buy an old tractor, throw a loader on it and clear my driveways as required.” Silly thought; as I’m adding up the total cost now. :>)

Old tractor $1850.00
Hauling Fee 200.00
Wide Front 813.00
Used Loader 1000.00
Tire Chains 247.00

So, here I sit with a fifty-year-old tractor mounted with a forty-year-old loader costing me over four grand so I can go out and play in the snow.

Aw, but she is one sweet old gal, and the sound of that old engine is absolutely priceless.
