Sarge 3,462 #4 Posted November 26, 2016 We need to collectively band together and figure out how to explain this line of thinking to our spouses - I'm tired of trying to hide things that weigh in excess of 800lbs...lol . Sarge 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gregg'shorses 77 #7 Posted November 28, 2016 I'm tired of trying to hide things that weigh in excess of 800lbs...lol . Yes that is true - if they were smaller you could just cover them with a dish towel . She will never look . 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dirtdog524 61 #8 Posted November 28, 2016 My wife has caught on to that way of thinking. I caught her out in the garage counting my tractors. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ClassicTractorProfessor 5,261 #9 Posted November 29, 2016 My wife has finally realized it's hopeless and just gave up lol...she didn't even say anything the other night when I pulled in the driveway with my latest tractor acquisition (well, besides its the wrong color ). I do think she is ready to get moved into our new place so they will all be in the shed instead of lined up along the fence in the backyard though lol 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WheelHorseNut 222 #11 Posted November 29, 2016 Haha -- We had a discussion on Thanksgiving about this... My wife said to the family, next thing you know we're going to have them in the backyard under tarps -- we're not going to be that family in the neighborhood. I was like, yeah, I know...I'm not getting any more until we have room... I guess she hasn't been in the backyard recently!!! There is one right behind the house ( can't see it from the inside as I aligned it with the chimney) under a tarp as we speak. I'll only get away with that until spring... lol 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sarge 3,462 #13 Posted December 2, 2016 The day the D came home was what really did it - size does matter I guess... She's asked several times when I'm going to sell it , I just reply " want to see how it works out , then I'll decide " . I think she's figured out it's here to stay once it actually fit in the shed and didn't go through the floor , although the floor did complain a bit since the 1277 is already sitting in there all weighted up for dirt/rock work . Between the two it's an easy 2500lbs of iron , plus quite a few other things and attachments - just waiting to hear that nasty crack from the floor joists... Been hunting for the last week to find a serious industrial drill press that can handle the heavier work and not start wobbling around in the shaft or tearing out bearings - she knows that's a sign of more tooling/parts coming as well , been together almost 30yrs now so she's got me figured out . During that search I found a pair of C series pretty reasonable and one is another C-160....that would be pushing my luck a bit too far . Sarge 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe try some camouflage netting over the tarps...put them up against the barn next to your rain barrels . Make them look like a bush 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
