.......I have a far greater problem than a wife who frowns on tractor purchases.....my wife actually encourages me to buy "that neat old tractor" or "you really should have that one!" .... or "what you need now is a tractor from the 40's  so that each decade is represented!" 
   I was thinking this is great, a wife that understands!!, but what I only now have come to realize is that her only stipulation is that she gets to spend an equal amount of money....oh, woe is me !!!Please guys, delete this message as soon as you have read it so that your wife doesn't get the same idea too. It could be the death Knell for us all financially!!
