bensondavess 5 #1 Posted 1 hour ago Greetings Red Square community, I am new to all things "Red". I was born and raised about 30 feet above sea level in eastern N.C. on a small farm. Our main tractor was an Oliver Super 55 and it was "abuse-proof". We never had need of anything like a WH. With Farmall Cubs and 8n's a plenty all of our tractor needs were met. For the last 15 years I have been living in Mechanicsville, VA where I pastor a small church. I'm married with two children, one of whom just graduated high school two weeks ago. My wife is my favorite person with whom to hang out and we have recently begun to garden again. I am a hobbiest blacksmith and I have been known to wet a hook frequently. In the past couple of years that we've been growing veggies, in our reasonably sized back yard (about 125 feet square), we've agreed that a garden tractor would easier on our aging bodies than a tiller. I have for years hoped to acquire a Wheel Horse some day. My real desire was for a 3-point model but figured the clevis hydro would suffice. We recently decided it was time to get serious about finding a garden tractor. So I just purchased a C-175. It is in pretty good shape for a 30+ year old machine with unknown hours. But there are a few issues I will need help figuring out. Of course this is how I came to join your group. I am grateful for being accepted in and hope that, in some small way, I may be able to contribute as I benefit from the knowledge and experience found in this community. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
