The first couple of years that Scooby came out was the best.

A JD was traded in on the Kubota we have now. A guy I help alot has a JD cant remember the numbers but its 90+hp with a cab and that thing is nice but I've seen some of the repair bills on that thing. NO WAY!

Guys realistically, I'd be buying something very used and/or very old. I can't justify spending 10k in a hoe/loader or brand new tractor.

Saw a Ford tractor on the site Jacob listed, looked like a cool machine.
We had a 8N years ago that we just used to run the hammer mill and never had much trouble with it. They are good tractors.

Family Guy is hilarious but is obviously geared toward people in their 20's - 30's.
Family guy is funny as he!!.

I don't watch it for the crashes. There's a lot going on in a race, lots of different strategies, car adjustments, and whatnot going on. Those cars are amazingly sensitive to the smallest changes too. For example, Jeff Burton's crew adjusted the balance of the car with a 3/10 ths of a change in tire pressure on only one tire. The guys are pushing those cars so hard, they are on the verge of spinning out nearly every lap. There's some talent in the drivers who can feel that edge and keep the car right there to make it go fast. I can see how it would be hard to casually watch it though and not be interested. You've almost got to really get into it to enjoy the complexities that go on during a race, which makes it fun to watch.

Some NASCAR folks frown on drag racing too...those guys only run in a straight line and only race for a few seconds at a time...where's the challenge in that? I like to watch drag racing too, though. Those cars are some impressive pieces of equipment, and the crews have a lot of talent to be able to properly get that much power to the ground without smoking the tires. I still intend to make it to an NHRA event sometime in the next few years.

What little bit I see, Family Guy is awesome. South Park pulls a close second for me.

I hear you Jeremy on your NASCAR comments. Love the sport, very interesting to see the progression over the years. I used to go to the track in Riverside CA to watch the race back in the 80's as a kid, and the new Fontana track is built practically in my folks' backyard. Not too impressed with the new track though, cookie cutter track with no character. My family and I want to catch a Bristol race one of these days.

Love Drags also for the same reasons you said as well. Walking the pits are the best attraction still.

I love Family Guy but never saw the humor in South Park or Beavis & Butthead.

I got the used tractor buying guide done Lisa. The handiest tractor we have on the farm is a 1968 JD 4020 Wide Front diesel that thing is my favorite tractor to drive the steering is so light and smooth you could steer this tractor on pavement with 1 finger.

South park is funny. But I like the older cartoons like scooby doo, Tom and Jerry, Bugs bunny, & daffy duck.

I would love to have a small chore tractor for our property in the mountains. I'd run it ragged.
