I think that one was also for Drunk J
and it was some exotic wood
I'm not at the 'puter w/ the spreadsheet on it.
I'll check in a bit and then you can maybe hound him . . .

Yup. "Ironwood Pinch".
I think the other one I got from DJ is Rosewood?
Again, apologies for the fact that these are not glamor shots..
yeah, so, I actually remembered this before looking it up [so kudos for straggling bits of memory function] but that one is White Teak, and yep, was made for Drunk J.
I'll settle for a boat I can use to move a sheet of plywood, propane or gas engines to my island property.
Right now though, I'm much more interested in a tractor with a decent brush hog and loader. I need to keep my yard mowed once a year until I hopefully retire there.
I've always loved the water since I was a kid in Maine. Maine is a glacial state with lots of lakes. My family there still owns a cabin on Sebec lake. I love it there!
You really should mow it twice a year. Around Memorial Day and again around Labor Day works for us:

Nice tractor! Just about what I'm looking for.
I've been checking out all the top brands. I really like the Kubota for some reason. Probably because my neighbor on the island has about 5 of them. Come to think of it, he'd probably sell me one. He has 27 properties and heavy machinery spread all over the island. I'm envious.
Massey Ferguson 1533. It had 185 hours on when we got it. It has ~460 now. It's a 2005 so it still has a simple engine; no electronics or exhaust after-treatment.
It came with the property when we bought it, along with a rake, a grader blade, and a sickle-bar mower that was an annoying pain to use. We added the brush hog and the loader you see there. The brush hog alone made steering on slopes dicey because it unloaded the front wheels too much. The loader fixes that. The fork frame you see there makes for better forward visibility than the loader bucket, so it's preferable for mowing. We also got a box blade for driveway maintenance.
Pro-Tip: Build wooden dollies on casters for your attachments. It's MUCH easier to line up the attachments with the tractor when they're on dollies with casters than to line up the tractor with the attachments when they're on the ground. It also lets you arrange your attachments in way that they take up a minimal amount of space:

Yeah, between 80 and 85.
That's easy. Just wear real shoes.
(I jest. I'm sitting here barefooted. I only wear shoes when I have to).
PS: Fueling your tractor from five-gallon cans sucks.
(See I'm not as skinny as my son!)
At least once I get a tractor on the island, we get that fuel without all the extra crap in it out there. (farm fuel) They have to, vehicles often sit for a year or two between runs, regular gas would destroy their fuel systems.
You're lookin pretty good for a youngster! As for myself, I've been slipping the last few years, growing sideways which doesn't help by bad back.
I personally like a lot of your others better.
Most beautiful sumpin-sumpin. Solid silver plate beauty. She still looks this good BTW.
