Let the kids drive a couple tractors today!

[kpinnc 14,651]

I know one of the best reasons to have a Wheel Horse is because it's a working machine. These things are capable of so much, and the keep coming back for more, years after the majority of so called "garden tractors" have gone to pasture.

I also realize that arguably some of the best pictures are the ones with a horse doing what it does best- earning it's keep, and asking for more.

But every once in a while, I get one or two out and let the kids have at it. I don't know who enjoys it more- me or them!

Today, I got the Bronco and 310-8 out, and turned the kids loose. Just thought I'd post a few pics of them driving around. Of course, they were never more than 5 feet away, and I only let them drive one at a time... No need for "BUMPER TRACTORS" in the yard....

Anyway, here they are:

The "baby" about to run over my foot:

Another "grinner":

The 11 year old, who in her mind, is 29:

Kinda hoping this "No! I'm driving" thing goes away before they start taking the car out:

They seem to grin more when you back away a bit:

Before it was all over with, even the tractors were arguing over who's turn it was next:

Not quite an amusement park, but still a good time!

:whistle: That's about the cuteist thing I thing I've seen in a while. Long after the pictures are misplaced, the memories of that day will be fresh in your mind, to bring up any time you want-especially after they have grown and gone! Nice tractors too!-AL B)

Great pics Kevin & thanks for shareing.

I bet the girls were not the only ones grinning! B)

I guess you're going to need to get busy on a few of the other tractors now, Kevin.

Great pics, and don't let that nasty old Bronco on your 310! B)

Looks like you all had a ton of fun today.

I can just picture the kids driving around yelling "YAAAAAAAAAHHHH !"

Did you take them out for ice cream after all that hard work?

Kevin,

Great pics - Kids love the horses too. Here's my two girls, 8 and 11, riding the 314 a few months back. My son has his own 753 and a 14 year old does not like his picture being taken. Must be the new acne

[kpinnc 14,651]

Great pics Micah! He's got his own 753? How cool is that?

Like that garden plot in the backgound too!

great pics .thanks for sharing.

iyou know they had a blast and will remeber this for years to come. i know there is times when i can remember being a little guy and drive'in tractors.

[DMESS 24]

Nice pics. It's always fun to see the little ones interested in the things that WE enjoy. I get a kick out of letting my daughter drive mine around. She's four so I just put one in low range and walk along beside her and help her steer. She really likes Pinky, because she can steer it so easily! I can almost remember when I was that age doing the same thing. B)

Just hope they don't find the horse keys when mom & dad aren't looking! B)

Great pics guys. I remember letting my daughter do the very same thing when she was that age. She is now 28, and I am now letting my grandsons, ages 5 and 3 take over, ON THE SAME HORSE .
