I finally got a mint condition Marlin M-39A .22 lever rifle.

Adam,
I have a pine tree farm so I bought the largest tractor I could get good use from and still get between the rows and most of the single trees: An orange thing, a Kubota L4400 which is a 45HP 4x4 with water filled tires and a FEL, 6 ft root rake, 6 ft bucket and a 6 ft Bush Hog Squeeler that stays hooked up most times. It is a standard trans for more power. I have a back hoe, set of discs, landscape rake, post hole auger and a box blade. The box blade is of little use. I can do more with the discs and the landscape rake in 1 hour than a box blade can do in half a day. I put in 1250 ft of pipes when I first got the back hoe but it does not get used much now, but it is like most of the stuff, handy when needed. A must have for an old stump.

My wife and I put in a mile of five strand fence by ourselves, so we are not to bad for 60 odd year olds, once you get us wound up. I converted my Sporting Clays cart to a fencing cart.
