A family tractor

My wife's uncle called me a while ago and told me he had a tractor for me. His mom(my wife's grandma) had bought a Simplicity back in the 70's and it had been in the family and mowing since then, first at her house and then up north at property they had when she passed away and they sold her house. So this has been in constant use for 40 years!  He brought it to me and it was in much better shape then I expected. This tractor has been in my wife's family for 40 years, and it has a new home now!

Izzy uses her 515 for excavating!

We put the blade on Izzy's Simplicity Serf 515 for the first time and it did great!  Couldn't take huge bites out the dirt pile but the little tractor did a great job filling in the whole we dig to access our septic tank.

Mason Show

This years show was very frustrating for me. I started feeling ill on Friday and it got increasingly worse as the weekend went on. The kids had fun and tractors ran great, but it was hard for me to be there and I didn't take many photos. Lots of friends were there, and we had amazing weather the entire weekend.

Campsite ready

Olivia used her Simplicity 616 Yeoman to mow our campsite for the upcoming show in a couple weeks. Tractor show is getting close!

Used 5 this weekend!

We had a rare full weekend of nice weather so we tried to do a ton of chores. Izzy took a few more loads of wood to our neighbor on her 515 Serf, Mandy used the Sovereign to help with landscaping duties, the Broadmoor 717 did mowing chores, and the Broadmoor 738 and Yeoman 616 did wood hauling duties to get the original pile of wood and combine with the new pile right by the driveway, so anyone grabbing wood doesn't have to drive over the lawn. Whew!

A couple of shots of Izzy with her 515 Serf through the years. 2013 is when she got her tractor for her fourth birthday, then at age 7 and now 10. Fun to see her growing next to her tractor!

Palmer Wood Delivery

Today we delivered some of the wood from our cut down trees to our neighbor across the street.  He can use it for campfires and in his home.  Since it was right across the street this was the easiest(and most fun) way to do it!
