If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

I know, but the whole multiple times the price of the older iron is intimidating. If I wanted to spend another 8k I would've gotten a GS instead of the current bike.

Which ironically, would also be considered a tractor.

There's a PTO on the old Jeep. I'm tempted to weld something up and use that.

Unless I'm mistaken, your property is not flat.

The old iron is almost all 2wd. A 2wd tractor with a bucket will get stuck on flat ground.

He was schooled pages ago.

We told him which direction to look in.

We can't stop him from making bad decisions.

I think he's suffering from a lack of what seems like good equipment available at at what seems like a reasonable price.

As said earlier, figure out what you need.

Then buy the next bigger one.
