Sparky-(Admin) 19,540 #1 Posted May 8, 2020 I really liked the Suburban that @Buzz has in his yard and it has been on my list of things to do for awhile now. Had a tree taken down and the stump ground up but I still had a hump in my front yard. Built a small stone wall in a circle where the hump was and installed an RJ! Still needs some tweaking but it definitely has the “look” I wanted. Came without a motor but my neighbor @Docwheelhorse had a rusty little Briggs that he donated to the project that just looks perfect on it. First pic is Buzz’s setup that was my inspiration. 2 8 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 59,687 #3 Posted May 8, 2020 Remember that being in the elements, you’re going to want to change the engine and transmission oil more often than not! Looks great! 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 38,916 #4 Posted May 8, 2020 I could park a tractor in my front yard and sit on it and folks would stop and marvel at a piece of yard art that doesn't move too much! Love the RJ 2 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebinmaine 63,115 #8 Posted May 8, 2020 @Sparky Your yard addition looks great! Ours is a little older than a Wheelhorse. We went to visit the neighbors up the hill last fall. They live on what was a working farm. There was the piece below set off to one side.... We dragged it home.... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebinmaine 63,115 #11 Posted May 8, 2020 @Sparky and @JCM I didn't give Trina enough information about taking the picture above. She did not know that this was going to be a post about flower gardens. Jim in particular, you would know how she is... so she had to go put a flower in the garden and take another picture so it looks like a flower garden..... I give you, adjusted picture. 1 1 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

D_Mac 8,223 #17 Posted May 9, 2020 I was looking at the tractors again laughing at how they are in better shape then mine and thinking " I could use that part" then I started giggling to myself imagining how @ebinmaine would say " yard art"... would it be " yad hot"? " I need a pitcha of some yad hot" ? Im sorry i am in a silly mood. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Be careful what you plant and where you plant it. We have a very large hosta that grew so big that it kind of blocks the view of the tractor from the road. I guess I'll have to move either the plant or the tractor one of these days. Probably have to put air in the front tires if I move the tractor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
