The turn onto this road is kinda fast as it comes off a multi-lane road with lots of traffic so I've never gotten a good look to see what model the tractor is. It sure is nice and shiny though.

I have often times wanted to go around the block and stop and talk with this lady to get the story on her tractor and why she uses such a machine to mow her lawn. I am always in fear that an ugly old bat turd like myself pulling up in or near her drive would scare the crud out of her though. So from afar, I just admire the fact that she is able to get out and climb onto this old Cub and cut her own grass.
Nice story.
You better go talk to her before she can no longer talk back.
Thanks for sharing.
