Many times from times selling tractors or parts or just anything on c list and the buyer comes to my house and many of these (older) men notice my Simplicity Baron sitting in the garage which strikes up a convo about their tractors, and they then ask, howd you come uopn this? how do you know so much or i get the ohh good to see you staying out of trouble for a teenager.. and well to answer all of thses, well my first use for it was to maintain my woods track, which the land behind my house was bought last summer so no more track:( but i fell inlove with it, and today i got to use it for what i really bought it for.. grooming my buddys Pitbike track (A pitbike is a smaller motorcycle used for transportation in the pits at races) anyway, this was the first time she had left my property since bought and also its first trailer ride!, heres a few pics, notice my buddy in the back of the first one, finally happy he gets a break from the rakes and shovels..
my buddys father who isnt a big talker was amases and went on all night about how hes just amased it can dig down 3-4 inches at a pass.. and how she grabs traction without a motor bog or studder.. really made me feel good today some good seat time on the tractor and BIKE!

| Tom, great to see you using the ole girl. From the title of the thread I was afraid you were getting rid of her. It is a hoot when you look around and people are standing there with their mouths hanging open. I'd bet those ags you have really bite (good). |

Thanks goys! i sure love her,! and yes only spun once when i got caught on a root.. went back about 6 inches though and hit it again and ripped it from the ground!
these ags are filled with calcium and weigh about 75- 85 pounds a piece! |

| Tom, if you are using the dozer blade a lot be sure to check the four BGB bolts to make sure they are tight. The top bolts particularly need to be tight as the blade puts a lot of pressure up on the middle of the tractor. |

| It is always fun showing people how strong these tractors are. If they are maintained and taken care of they really are beasts that can do alot more than their size would suggest. |

Nice tractor.
You should be more careful around that machine or you'll lose your other fingers too. |
