In the beginning, the day after we 'went' to settlement (we actually signed the settlement papers at our kitchen table at our old house, so we didn't really go anywhere) we traveled to our place in West Virginia to retrieve our tractor, and all of the farm implements that went with it, except for the Box Scraper. We couldn't manage to get it on the flat bed trailer or in the bed of the truck.
The following year we went up there, and ran out of time, again it was left.
The next year we didn't take the tractor with us, being impossible to lift a 550 lbs. anything, it remained.
Now, with the fencing project looming, we must have the box scraper. This versatile farming tool will be needed, it has been needed, to do jobs around the place. It can be used as a harsh drag, can pry rocks, can cut a grove, can back-fill holes, flatten large areas,
We also brought home the tiller. I know it is way past time to put in a garden, but when will we be back there with the tractor to lift it onto the truck bed? Better here than there.
Finally we have it here with us! After four years, one little victory.
