WHGuy413 2,506 #1 Posted January 30, 2019 I managed to get my driveway snow blowed with my 416H and 2 stage today then did some plowing with my 753. My kids got home from school and my oldest son who's 9 wanted to try plowing. Good thing my parents house is right next door and my dad hadn't plowed yet cause I was out of places for him to plow. The kid did great! 1st gear and just putted along. I was surprised he lifted the plow with no problems. Although this isn't his first rodeo. He plowed once when he was 5 on my 12 auto at an idle. I gotta stop giving up my play time or just find him a plow for his 1277. 1 pic from today and 1 from 4 years ago. 12 8 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SylvanLakeWH 24,129 #4 Posted January 31, 2019 Lucky kid - lucky Dad! Time for a job! My son started his grass / snow / leaves / gutters job when he was 10. Did quite well...He's in college now and on to a different phase in life but those memories are priceless... Enjoy! 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Somehow or another I got my parents to let me start mowing about 2 Acres of mostly open grass when I was around 6. That was with a 60s vintage Ariens tiller steer. I guess I can blame them for my obsession with machinery? 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You gotta start early...this about 40 years ago, me on dad's Cub Cadet Original and him standing/walking along side mom snapping pictures...then dad just last year on my Kioti, and his CC 1450...oh how times they fly by and change. 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BHunter 1,651 #9 Posted January 31, 2019 That’s a great reason for loosing your seat time. Make those memories. Your boy was probably having a blast doing that. It’s all about passing on our knowledge to the next generation. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tractorhead 8,610 #10 Posted January 31, 2019 Thats the right issue for loosing Seat Time, (sorry for you) give the Kids the flame of the "hey you did", not the Ash of "i had done". 👍 Well done Sir 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHGuy413 2,506 #11 Posted January 31, 2019 I will give up seat time to any of my kids that wants it. They all enjoy driving them. I think this year my 9 year old will get some seat time mowing with either my bronco 14 of my 416h. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
