  • About four years ago, I did two other videos on this subject and figured I'd update with the knowledge I've gained over the last four years.

    Hey, thank you for sharing this information and taking the time to make this video. I appreciate the shout out and it was great talking to you the other day. I've learned a ton from you and from your videos. Please keep them coming! - Utah Deere 😀

    Hey!! Nice to hear from someone who lived in Maine. My home is about 10 miles from Maine. I was just talking with my wife about our first date at the Presqu’île Maine fair 46 years ago. This state is part of our culture. And….manny in Canada are Red Sox Nations Citizens.

      Yeah, sadly, we didn't live up there longer, those were some of my formative years, age 4-10, then to Florida as a Navy brat, been here ever since and truthfully I belong in the mountains of North Carolina or Virgina, probably only place I could move my Florida-born wife if I can even get her there, maybe we need to live in different states. 🤣 She can stay here and melt and I can enjoy a state with real seasons.😎

    Up here in Canada, many with small tractors do snow removal. It was a challenge in the past for them to get paid in spring because customers would argue on various things or not pay at all. It’s different now. They give you a price for the job in the fall and expect $$ before the first snow.

      Oh wow, that's opposite of what I have seem , getting paid before the job I mean. I guess I have been lucky in the sense of never having an issue getting paid. I would love to make money doing snow removal...says me from Florida never having had removed snow😂. Thanks for watching.

    Fringing snow and ice and freezing rain and cold is hard on machines. I have a 2025 for snow a woodlot. I don’t do work for others except to help a buddy in a bind. I imagine heat and humidity is a challenge in Florida.

      Yep my experience in Maine was an a kid, I'd assume that would be similar to Canada, but I was young enough to enjoy the snow and not have the "work it" so to speak. Our winters are nice, but honestly, I hate doing any work outside from May until November, it's terrible but in a diffferent way. I dislike being soaking wet, and if you stay outside any length of time, you'll go through several outfit changes to stay dry. Problem is, I love working outside.

    In my area.
    Nobody will pay before a A job is done and then once the job is done they will stick you on the payment or they will stop payment on the check I've stopped doing tractor jobs

      Yeah, I have never collected before a job was done and I even ask for them to come and review the job if they are home. So far, I have not been shorted on a job...at least not shorted by a customer. I have from time to time clearly underbid jobs. On the other hand, I have had several customers pay me more than I asked or we agreed to. I have heard of other stories where people have stick the business owner with the bill. I, for one think that's a bad idea to do that for someone that owns a tractor. I am sorry to hear such stories.

    Started as a hustle and now i am hoarding 12 tractors lmao. 140 H3, 110H, 2 332, 2 420, 430, 2 455, GX345 and a 2021 cubcadet xt2. A little over 2 years collecting now.

      HAHA, Kevin, I am trying to wind down myself as I have been there and done that my friend. Sometimes it's hard to pass up good deals. But if I don't look, I can't see any🤣. It sounds like you have some really nice ones though. The 2 455's and the GX are nice tractors as well as the 420 and 430. I have a 140 H3 as well, but it's on it's way out as soon as I swap out an engine. They are pretty cool, but I like them for working and the ergonomics on a 1960's tractor just suck. Thanks fro watching.
